There are three groups that have power in They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?; the kids, the audience, and the leadership. These groups represent different genders in the way they’re presented and how they interact with each other. The kids are the feminine, cautious and intuitive, the audience is the androgynous, passive and oblivious, and the leadership is the masculine, blunt and tricky. These traits shed light on why each group uses their power in such different ways and why the kids and the…
specific, the races are composed of catching and selling the horse-like beasts as soon as they mysteriously emerge from the sea. They’re then trained using tactics that cause them panic and pain, in attempt to break them of their own free will. These creatures are strong and fierce; far too powerful for a mere human to bond with as if it were a horse. They’re larger, stronger, faster, smarter, and much more bloodthirsty than typical horses. That’s why, despite the cruel training they endure,…
for letting the horse inside their empire is because of the tale of Sinon. Sinon was a Greek man who delivered the horse to the Trojans.

They call me Artemis I’m a Goddess, to say, everyday is the same thing over and over each day. Everyone knows I protect and watch over the wild animals, and I make sure all the hunters are in check. I have been watching king Eurystheus because I have noticed that he has been wanting my stag. To continue my stag is said…
There’s no doubt in my mind that King & Country was a good horse. 16 starts, 11 wins, 1 place, and 3 shows is pretty respectable, among all crowds, not just here in-game. However, King & Country put even more in his offspring than he did on the track. Of 8 foals, all are winners, half have a 100% record, and he has 3 (and arguably 4) major competitors in Country Girls, Thee Wild Child, Pay Your Dues, and now maybe Catalyst. All together, they have 3 track records, though none still standing.…
