Four soldiers were unseated after the horses were spooked during an exercise in Belgravia, the Army said. One soldier was responsible for two horses. Video on social media shows a grey and a black horse running through Aldwych, one with blood on its chest and legs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Grapes Posted April 24, 2024 Share Posted April 24, 2024 "Crazy Horses" (The Osmonds) Their song is about air pollution. "Crazy Horses" represents automobiles - "horsepower" - that create pollution in the skies from the exhaust. This was written by Alan, Merrill, and Wayne Osmond. They were the oldest of the group, all fathers and concerned about the polluted world their children would inherit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webtrekker Posted April 24, 2024 Share Posted April 24, 2024 'Bloodied white horse ...' Could this be the fabled 'Horse of a Different Colour?' Back on August 2, 1959 the Daily Reporter newspaper of Spender, Iowa published a news story entitled, “Reds Will Live In Era Of Fear If Aggression Continues — Nixon.” The story was about then Vice-President Richard M. Nixon who addressed the Soviet people in a TV-radio address that was listened to by millions of citizens as he commented on the Soviet foreign policy. The vice-president took strong exception to the slogan “Let us work for the victory of communism” which he saw frequently on his tour. “If Mr. Khrushchev means by this slogan working for a better life for the people within the Soviet Union that is one thing,” Nixon said. “If, on the other hand, he means the victory of communism over the United States and other countries this is a horse of a different color. For we have our own ideas as to what system is best for us.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k_j_evans Posted April 24, 2024 Share Posted April 24, 2024 It takes a lot to spook a Household Cavalary horse. I used to "do" the one that my neighbour brought out with him when he left the Life Guards. The horse loved lorries and motorbikes, screaming kids and anything you'd expect to find in a town, but, to be fair, he was petrified of goats and chickens. I used to take him to the next village to do my shopping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Grapes Posted April 25, 2024 Share Posted April 25, 2024 (edited) The pale horse isn't the white one. Wikipedia says: The color of Death's horse is written as khlōros (χλωρός) in the original Koine Greek,[50] which can mean either green/greenish-yellow or pale/pallid.[51] The color is often translated as "pale", though "ashen", "pale green", and "yellowish green"[35] are other possible interpretations (the Greek word is the root of "chlorophyll" and "chlorine"). Based on the uses of the word in ancient Greek medical literature, several scholars suggest that the color reflects the sickly pallor of a corpse.[5][52] In some modern artistic depictions, the horse is distinctly green.[53][54][55] Edited April 25, 2024 by Grumpy Grapes 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add to your information about the Norman invasion, this is, according to some researchers, also where the distinction between being a "Man (or Maid) of Kent" of "Kentish Man (or Maid)" originates from. The most common understanding is that those to the west of the River Medway, from its dividing point in Rainham, are considered "Kentish Men" whereas those to the east are "Men of Kent". But there is likely more to the story in terms of separation between the Anglo-Saxon and Jutish settlements either side of the river and the strength of their resistance against the Normans. https://www.kentonline.co.uk/maidstone/news/are-you-a-man-of-kent-or-kentish-man-228500/ Quote It appears that above all else the Men of Kent may have been the greater propagandists, because one tale also tells of how the tribes of the east of the county refused to allow William the Conqueror to pass through without allowing them to retain certain old rights and privileges. This story takes us right back to years following the retreat of the Roman empire from the shores of this land jutting out between the North Sea and the English Channel. It is widely held that invading tribes who came after the Romans - led by the legendary brothers Hengist and Horsa - settled in what we now know as Kent, with the Anglo Saxons occupying what we now think of as west Kent while the Jutes settled to the east of the Medway. For centuries that followed, these Germanic peoples ruled over Kent and much of the country, establishing their own laws and customs, until in 1066 the Normans came from across the Channel in a new wave of invasion. Legend has it that, possibly on his way to Dover to return to his native Normandy, William was prevented from passing unhindered through East Kent by representatives of the Men of Kent. Symbolically they are said to have held out a branch or a sword, and told William to choose - treaty or war. In opting for the branch he is understood to have offered both the Men of Kent and the Kentish Men the retention of certain rights and customs if in return they would accept him as their King. Historians have argued this is why a system for passing on a deceased persons estate to all heirs, known as Gavelkind, continued to be used in Kent when in the rest of the realm all went to the eldest son. The legend of William choosing to accommodate the peoples of Kent rather than meet them in battle is also understood to have led to the county's adoption of the motto Invicta, which means unconquered in Latin. But whichever story you prefer as the origin of the county's divide, the friendly but passionate rivalry between the Men of Kent and the Kentish Men is likely to go on for some time yet. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
