This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Their origins are not a mystery, they were dragged here by Europeans just like every other horse in the Americas
Which still always amuses me, as horses originated in the Americas and lived there until about 12,000 years ago, went extinct there, and then got brought back by humans.
