The KFPS Royal Friesian Horse

I just learned today of the existence of this extraordinarily beautiful, big, graceful, intelligent and docile kind of horse, called Friesian; much favored in the film industry ('tis said) on account of their great presence and beauty, and also because they are so calm and resilient that the chaotic business of filming them does not faze or freak them out.  Anyway, just look at them go!  The smoothest, most elegant gait I've ever seen in a horse.  Friesians are now styled "light draft," but historically they were valued as war horses, able, because of their size and strength, to bear knights in full armor. Still, I'd like one just to ride.

And/but nearly I forgot, today is  the  73rd anniversary of the atomic bombing of the blameless citizens of Hiroshima, a day which certainly does live in infamy.
