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."
