Okay, please assume that word has been sent, one way or another, from Rivervale to every hold that took in a centaur, as well as Caer Falken.

Siv thought sis deserved the personal touch

shadylady 3:48pm

And she's welcome!

Ah, the DeBukes. Lest you forget that they are also kind of awful.

They are, alas, human

and we tend towards awfulness from time to time!

earldebuke 4:00pm

Truth all around

I didn't FORGET the lake

catnik 4:04pm

But, hmmm, perhaps the 'underground' part was a little confining to Nessa 😄

there's a REASON you use donkeys in a mine. ;)

horses will nope right out!

Well, I imagine it's fairly open. it appeared post-centaurs...

(okay, the internet corrects me.... there were totally mine horses and "pit ponies" before it was phased out for cruelty reasons)

catnik 4:06pm

They USED to use women and children to mine until a disaster in Britain where a couple dozen kids drowned raised public outcry, and they switched to horses instead

In the US, mules were far more commonly used

Holy moley, they were still used up until the 1970s. THe last surviving Pit Pony passed away in 2011 at the age of 40

And a grand pooka he was "Seen it all.." SPit "The hollow Earth ain't for wimps, child"

Lower 'em down!

earldebuke 4:09pm

Either that, or a Canary pooka in a coal miners hat "Still tryinng to kill me eh? I'll out live you all!"

Happier image - this is a monument to the pit ponies and horses who helped shape the country (In Wales)

earldebuke 4:10pm

Dam. that's.. pretty boss

on the site of a former coal mine

catnik 4:10pm

I bet it IS much cooler down by the underground lake

earldebuke 4:10pm

which I definitely didn't forget existed.

It is a youtube channnel. For one thing on Napoleon, he often references "Who was absolutely average sized for his time" With a close up on Napoleon giving a GLARE past the 4th wall 🙂
