Eric,
Great photo! Definitely looks like it was taken in the 1860s.

Bob,
I am agreeing with you...maybe we have a Moderator who has gone "Rolling Stone Rouge" on us. Bottom line, not appropriate.Comment

I think that is the onside hock (as the image is reproduced online, period image reversing properties notwithstanding). An equine's anus is not that low from its dock.Originally posted by GWagner View Post
Looks like someone propped his head up for the image.

Re: July 2010 Cover Image Submission
Is it a period dead horse or a modern day horse doing a living history, portraying a dead horse? His rectum for sure gets in the "first person/horse" hard core lineup. I still think it is Silas doing a first horse impression...he is looking over his shoulder. BTW who took the picture?...is it a tin type?Comment
