#horsies

I really appreciate how the Secret History of the Mongols specifies the horse colors and patterns every time there's a horse riding scene. I'm like, yeah, I would like to know that Temujin (the future Genghis Khan) rode a straw yellow horse with a hairless tail that he traded for a grayish white horse with a black stripe when he met his good friend Bo'orchu while searching for eight stolen geldings whilst living in exile with his family. Thanks for noting that down, Mongol historical tradition. You've got a real eye for horses, unsurprisingly.

People getting all excited about UmaMusume so I turn to my horde of conquering horse archers and say "we are so back"

The thing is I love the concept of unicorns I adore the vibes, the everything, but they will never be better than horsies. Theyre different, might be almost equal, mightve been if they existed, but they will never be better
