The votes are in, 100 votes "Yea", one vote "Neigh"

[@Squeam9750]

Ah so that's where the phrase "Yay or Nay" comes from

[@jeremywvarietyofviewpoints3104]

As in an episode of Blackadder.

[@gattycroc8073]

for some reason Incitatus reminds a lot of Blondi the Germen Sheperd as they were both pets of infamous rulers who were treated like second in command.

I thought it was a T-Rex in the hollow earth?

[@RaptorFH]

Is the title a mistake?

[@alexthekid3377]

This is new. 😯🐎

[@philipmurphy2]

So this is where Yay and Nay come from

[@sideeggunnecessary]

How do we know that all ancient Romans weren't actually all horses?

[@TheOverseerDebates]

The biggest question historians debate till this day

[@jeremywvarietyofviewpoints3104]

Some were half-horse half humans.
