Morning, Min.
Sorry I've been out of pocket. I screwed up my back pretty good. I've been taking pain pills and laying down a lot. Grrrr...I'm getting stir crazy, but, man, my back hurts!! Hopefully I'll be back in the saddle before long. I'm gonna go lay back down for a bit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_teeth
Additionally, a horse may have:
Between 4 and 5 canine teeth (tushes, tusks) between the molars and incisors. Generally all male horses have four canines. However, few female horses (less than 28%) have canines, and those that do usually have only one or two, which many times are only partially erupted.
Between zero to four wolf teeth, which are vestigial premolars and not canines as the name may suggest. About 13-32% of all horses also are born with wolf teeth, with most of those having only one or two. They are equally common in male and female horses and much more likely to be on the upper jaw. If present these can cause problems in the bitting of the horse as they can interfere with the horse's bit contact, and may also make it difficult to rasp the second premolar. Therefore, wolf teeth are commonly removed.
So how far back do I have to go to find these meat-eating horses? Merychippus is about 17 million years and he grazed.

Why does that picture make me think of Mr. Ed?

To put you out of your misery Min. It was years ago, I was doing a photo shoot at a zoo, I'd got a marvelous picture of a kiddy with a goat that would do on a poster but I needed some animal shots as well. Unfortunately the Zebra stallion ojected to me paying attention his mares and I'd taken my eye off him.
By the end of the day I felt that I'd been in a war zone, I'd been licked by a Giraffe, bitten by a Zebra, pecked by an Ostrich and been on the receiving end of some well aimed crap by our nearest primate relatives!
Happy days!

Wow, that was a fullfilling, memorable day!
Days like that make you feel really
alive, don't they?

Anyone who ever worked in a bureaucracy knows what it is like to have shit thrown at them by lower primates....usually called 'bosses.'

Yeah, they do.
I've been doing it for 2 years and never hurt my back. Oh well, it's not my spine, just a muscle on the left, lower portion. Should be good to go within a couple of days.
Thanks, Bro.
