Quote:... the return journey through the Balkans territory of the Triballi (Thracians) who demanded a share of the booty for passing through their lands. Philip refused and a battle took place and the Macedonians were defeated, Philip got badly wounded in the leg and they lost nearly all their Scythian mares, not a good day for Philip.

May be why the Thracians are repudtedly said to have very good horses and provide good auxiliary cavalry. I don't think it is a conicidence that Thacian and Sarmatian horsemen are found in the UK either with their own horses, are breeding here (turning coversation neatly back to the Dales pony's ancestry!)

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
