Horse

The horse (Equus ferus caballus) is one of two extant subspecies of Equus ferus. It is an odd-toed ungulate mammal belonging to the taxonomic family Equidae. The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature, Hyracotherium, into the large, single-toed animal of today. Humans began to domesticate horses around 4000 BC, and their domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BC. Horses in the subspecies caballus are domesticated, although some domesticated populations live in the wild as feral horses. These feral populations are not true wild horses, as this term is used to describe horses that have never been domesticated, such as the endangered Przewalski's horse, a separate subspecies, and the only remaining true wild horse. There is an extensive, specialized vocabulary used to describe equine-related concepts, covering everything from anatomy to life stages, size, colors, markings, breeds, locomotion, and behavior.

Horses' anatomy enables them to make use of speed to escape predators and they have a well-developed sense of balance and a strong fight-or-flight response. Related to this need to flee from predators in the wild is an unusual trait: horses are able to sleep both standing up and lying down. Female horses, called mares, carry their young for approximately 11 months, and a young horse, called a foal, can stand and run shortly following birth. Most domesticated horses begin training under saddle or in harness between the ages of two and four. They reach full adult development by age five, and have an average lifespan of between 25 and 30 years.

    Horse (1941 film)

    Uma (馬, also known as Horse) is a 1941 black-and-white Japanese film directed by Kajiro Yamamoto and starring Hideko Takamine, whom Yamamoto had directed in his film Composition Class (Tsuzurikata Kyōshitsu) three years before. Uma was actually completed by assistant director Akira Kurosawa. It follows the story of Ine Onoda, the eldest daughter of a poor family of farmers, who raises a colt from birth and comes to love the horse dearly. When the horse is grown, the government orders it auctioned and sold to the army. Ine struggles to prevent the sale.

    Overview

    The film is a tale about a young girl and the colt she raises from its birth. But it is also about the struggle of farmers existing on the edge of poverty. Akira Kurosawa is credited as the film's production coordinator, which is equivalent to first assistant director. But Kurosawa's signature is all over this work and is the last film he was to work on as an assistant before starting his own directing career. The film took three years to plan and a year to film. Kajiro Yamamoto had to commute to the far mountainous location but had to turn his attention to his money making comedies in Tokyo and so he left production in the hands of his assistant, Kurosawa.

    A Rusty Glove

    by: Horse

    TINKER tinker PLING- DING DING- DING
    my body breaks - the void screams
    weary of hollow metals
    that ring of hollow life
    by hand and by hammer
    i give birth tonight
    metal bend and metal scream
    welding bright the circuit seam
    weary of the hollow spaces
    between the twinkling lights
    i lost something along the way
    and it doesn't feel right
    MAY-BE IM-NOT
    falling apart but falling a lot
    MAY-BE IM-NOT
    completely circuitry but i can't stop
    IM GONNA FALL APART!!!
    IM GONNA FALL APART!!!
    coming close im coming closer
    yet maybe im not
    i can make you a sex machine
    that would be hot
    break my nails and pull my hair
    theres circuit boards everywhere
    how long have i been in here
    this is not my house
    MAY-BE IM-NOT
    falling apart but falling a lot
    MAY-BE IM-NOT
    completely circuitry but i can't stop
    IM NOT A ROBOT BUT IVE GOT A MECHANICAL HAND
    I CAN STEAL THE STARS AND PUT THEM BACK AGAIN
    once upon a time- i had a broken heart
    once upon a time- i just had a heart
    i limped when i was wounded- so i replaced my parts
    once upon a time i had a heart but
    IM NOT A ROBOT BUT IVE GOT A MECHANICAL HAND
    I CAN STEAL THE STARS AND PUT THEM BACK AGAIN
    if i am a machine because my hand made heart
    then why do i dream im a dinosaur tearing sheep apart
    lightning
    fill me up - it tells me where to go
    colors me and changes me
    it withers me to coal
    lightning
    tears me up - leaves me smoldering
    i close my eyes and hear her voice
    framed by vulture wings
    in the wires of my hand- i see my fate
    cold and mechanical- squeaky with hate
    it clicks + whiiirs and im satisfied
    its designed to fill that black hole deep inside
    im turning away from the path of soft skin
    to a path of mechanical sin
    turning away from the warmth of gold
    to an empty machine thats broken and cold
    click click click hollow rooms always consume
    click click click dark and empty like most of the moon
    click click click the things we do in the name of love
    click click click secret machines and a rusty glove
    SLEEP WELL MECHANICAL THING
    YOU WERE FUN FOR AWHILE
    BUT NOW IM GOING GOING GOING
    TO GO
    GET A BURRITO
    go get a burrito
