Tobus, those are good-looking horses.
I was wondering whether any of you had come across the books by Gavin Menzies titled 1423: The Year China Discovered the World and 1434: The Year a Magnificent Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance.
He presents some pretty solid evidence indicating that it was the work of Chinese explorers, and the presence of their maps in Western Europe, that led to the discoveries by Columbus and Da Gama.
In 1434 he claims that the painted pony was introduced to the US west coast by the Chinese. It appears that a very similar breed is to be found in China.
Regards,
Mike
