Good one, Georg. I saw some footage of Americans and British forces using horses in the mountains of Afghanistan. Techniques and technology from the distant past can still have uses now.
People whose job is to care for the feet of horses and fit their shoes are called farriers.
I will, thanks. You know a lot more about these kinds of animals than I do. Impressive.
They are nice. I had not seen them before but, I'll look into them. There is something charming and appealing about small birds, more than those of other sizes.
