When you know a bit about something, it’s always an easy thing to mistakenly presume others to know what seems like the most baseline of information about the subject matter.
It’s a common human blind spot. I see no reason to get defensive about it. Better to admit it and improve than double down on a pointless battle with nothing to win.
I know of a lot of things that I don’t know a lot about, which makes what knowledge I do have seem paltry by comparison. Exchanges like this are a handy reality check. Ideally, we can all walk away smarter for it.
As it is for horses, only three breeds came to my mind. Clydesdale, carousel, and of course this genuine two ton beauty.
Shire Horses, Brabanter (a Belgian breed, but I don’t know the English name) are the ones that I can think of, but I know there’s also some French breed up there. Don’t think any of them can hide a crew of crafty Greeks in their belly though. “Why is this taxidermied horse’s belly still moving?”
