Horse History

Someone asked me recently how long I've been riding horses.  

Well--when I was young, I used to chase eohippus through the tropical rainforests of Wyoming...



Later, during the cooler Oligocene period, I pursued miohippus across the steppes.




When the ice shelf retreated, I started riding equus (still naked, you can see)






Sometimes with mixed results...



  I'm not sure how long it's been, but at least a few weeks...

Nurse's Note:  I didn't include any photographs of earlier epochs since the camera hadn't been invented.  The drawings of me with the primitive horses are from prehistoric cave paintings, though, so they're accurate...
