How’s this for equine love?
-
When a UK horse had to undergo amputation of one leg due to a blood clot, its owner spent around $50,000 to have an artifical leg developed for the animal. The leg was made by the same specialist who treated model Heather Mills, ex-wife of Paul McCartney.

In Albany, USA, police were baffled by the discovery of 13 horse limbs sawn off below the knee, found on the side of a highway. The legs were eventually traced back to a slaghterhouse, who said they sold them to a man who wanted to practice shoeing horses……
- When filming for the Ned Kelly movie (starring Heath Ledger) took place in Clunes, Victoria, no attention to detail was spared. Constructing the set took five weeks while on the day of filming one bloke was given the task of arranging strategic piles of horse manure in the street for that authentic “olden times” look…… now what would he get in the movie’s credits ?? “Joe Bloggs Equine Ordure Artiste”. That’s horse poo shoveller in real language !
- Ford had a big problem when they launched their “Pinto” car model in Brazil. When it didn’t sell, the company investigated and found that Pinto was a Brazillan slang term for “Tiny Male Genitals”. Ford re-named the model Corcel, which means horse.
