Western Horses and Their Riders |
|
||
|
I was always partial to the horses.
When I was a kid I had all these toy horses and each had a name. To this day, I
can't stand it if some idiot movie director decides it's necessary to "hurt" an
animal to achieve some dramatic effect. "Turner and Hooch" and "Dances With
Wolves" come quickly to mind. You can kill off all the bad guys. You can even
kill off some of the good guys. Just stay away from all four legged creatures!
GIDDEY-YAP, YIPPEE! and all of that!  |
