Long Horses - Extinct. Real Or Myth?

Gutter_Doll · 07-16-2007, 12:54 AM

According to.. Some crazy people, there is an extinct breed of horse called "The long horse" which a hugely elongated back and spine. Due to overwork the animals perished young and never repopulated. Real or myth? You decide.

Long Horses... Proof?

I personally do not believe it, and won't until I study a spinal cord, or such. How could this animal support weight? Why hasn't it been spoken of?
I'd like to hear all skeptics, believers, and opinions.

Being a photoshopper this is extremely easy to do with the clone tool. In the "image proof" not one image doesn't have a duplication of whats on the shoulders.

I thought this might be an interesting/different subject for everyone to discuss.

We drove past this horse who had an abnormally long back, i don't know if its just coz we were in the car and it was far away.. but this just reminded me of it..

The skelton could have easily been manipulated with regular horse spinal attachments.

^^That is a normal picture in a book I have...some one took it to photoshop!!

PS...look at the horses in the backround...they are normal

They say that this "breed" could hold 4 ppl...I am sorry but a horse that long back would break plain and simple!!
