A horse with a drinking problem is heart breaking.

you can lead a horse to water, but he'll just play in the sprinklers.

A TV ad for the '3' mobile phone network. Made in a location where there is no phone coverage.

I suspect there was some CGI involved. Possibly alcohol too.

One of the Fullers Brewery Shire Horses has a liquid lunch at the British Beer Festival in London. A number of breweries still have Shire Horse teams for PR and advertising purposes. Most participate in the Heavy Horse musical drive at the Horse of the Year Show.

Hell yeah, if I spent all day in that harness I'd want a drink or two. After all, beer is made from what? Horse food.

The University of Toronto has digitized the official report on the 5th Olympiad in 1912, Sweden. It's pretty comprehensive at 1117 pages, with pictures of all the big shots, pictures of the facilities, the equipment, and athletes. Even the archery targets, shower rooms, the lady swimmers in their scandalous bathing attire, and some of the horses, which after all, is what this thread is about.

The Piebald mare had twins... but one was a runt.

Working horses stop for a shot and a beer, in Malden, MA, ca 1906.

cool!
This is the same intersection today. Not much looks familiar. But if you go down 50 feet to peek around the tree, you see that this building is still there. |

If I ran the historical society there, I'd totally put up a plaque with that old photo so you could compare old and new. I wouldn't even ask anyone permission. I'd just do it in broad daylight.
