Thistledoo Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 My understanding is that horses have always enjoyed a good game of marbles and when they see marbles rolling down the street they tend to forget about their duty towards the police and attempt to collect them so that they can play the game. This tends to make the police fall off their mounts and in retaliation the police confiscate the marbles from the horses. This adds new meaning to the term "losing your marbles":cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shogun Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 but wouldnt a horse incur a stone very similar to a marble in its normal environment.? They often hurt their feet in the wild, but we fit steel shoes to them and their frogs become very sensitive its like us if we stopped wearing shoes our feet would become hard and we would be able to walk with out shoes after a wile ,the marbles are just the right size to jam in the frog of their hoofs and damage the very sensitive part of their hoof,what they have done in the past is as the police charge the crowds with the horses they empty bags of marbles in front of them this makes the horses slip and and they can also stand on the marbles not nice as the horses are just trained to do a job they are just innocent animals.

If voters are unhappy with the government, they need to reflect on why they voted that government in to start with, then plan to change things at the next general election. Anybody who riots and brings upon themselves Police anti-riot action deserves to be stamped under hooves. If their subversive atitude allows them to stoop to injuring innocent animals in the process, they should be strung up by the ankles over a slow fire.

cgksheff Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Yes, a stone can also make a horse lame. Pity all the frustrated Boy Scouts with their pocket knives with the device for "removing stones from horses hooves". Then, later in life, to be confronted by a marble-scattering riot. But, alas, the knife and its equine first aid unit, had long since been despatched along with necker and woggle. p.s. we do know it was really a spike for splicing & knotting!
