Getting a horse into an amphibious vehicle ain't easy.:headshake

Doesn't that have a door in the back that they can put down?

You can lead a horse to the amphibious vehicle, but you can't make him climb in.

It's not a landing craft.

Ouch! Must be no fun at all with that kind of damage. Seems this guy got lucky, though - he almost looks like he's going to marry his catch :p:

Her constant Carping will drive him crazy.

That guy really does look wayyyyy too into that fish.

hey

a slop should be provide to hourse to sit in boat.

I'd think twice about putting a very upset 1,200 lb. horse, into a small open boat with me. :headshake

There is NO way they are going to get that horse into that boat.. The guy on the right is just standing in knee deep water. I think they are just getting it out of that cave.

looks like they made a ramp out of some boards leaned up against the boat over on the left, and the horse slipped off.

I think he's considering fashioning his own real live Billy Bass.

Google's translation into English: I had to sit in the cafeteria for about two hours to finish that slop they served us in elementary school.

Good observation. Very plausible. Looks like the distance between the ramp and the "cave" wasn't enough for the horse to fit through.

Actually, they're trying to take the boat away from the horse. The horse is saying, "Hey, that's my boat."

Its a dolphin.

A hourse is a hourse, of coarse, of coarse. :p:

Those sloppy hourses.

Really, you can't take them ANYWHERE!

Horse boat repo man
snort!

I was gonna rent a horseboat at Lake Cumberland a few years ago, but it fell through.

:lol2:

I know, whe the ƒuck won't somebody get that hourse a damn slop to provide the boat? For the love of Gawd.

Please to not make the cuss.

lol

No, he's going to marrynate his catch. Carp, :headshake.

.

:D:D:D

The horse.. They can swim you know. Why don't they just pull it in the water and if it isn't knee deep, guide it where they want it?

If you look at the first picture at the link, you'll see it's not knee deep and it's a long way.:p:

The pictures in the link are from all over Europe. In the locale of the horse, there are 2 guys standing on somethin knee deep, one in the barn, and Squiggy outside the barn. Not to downplay the disaster, but sometimes Reuters exaggerates things.

BTW, be proud of the Cellar. Some of the comments on Boston.com seem to be written by chimpanzees.

So, when the horse gets to heaven, he asks God why He didn't answer any of his prayers, and so then God says, "I sent you an army truck, a boat, and a helicopter, what were you waiting for?"

...and then the bar tender asks, "Hey buddy, what's with the long face?"

???? First pic shows nada?

As for distance.. My Great Grandfather rode a horse across the Columbia River, near Portland! He rode a horse because he couldn't swim.

Why did he do this? It was more desirable than the bullets the sheriff was sending his way. Something about bedding the sheriffs wife. :p:

I guffawed out loud!

That'll do it...

its a one horsepower boat engine :)

It's a boat battering ram. The horse did its job - it kicked a hole in that wall.

Damn horse vandals!
