	Re: Beating a Dead Horse?
		Though he supported the measure, British politician and orator John Bright thought the Reform Bill of 1867, which called for more democratic representation, would never be passed by Parliament.
		Trying to rouse Parliament from its apathy on the issue, he said in a speech, would be like trying to 'flog a dead horse' to make it pull a load.
		This is the first recorded use of the expression, which is still common for 'trying to revive interest in an apparently hopeless issue.' Bright's silver tongue is also responsible for 'England is the mother of Parliament,' and 'Force is not a remedy,' among other memorable quotations.

		Perhaps the horse could just be "incapacitated" until either the end of the battle or until the dead horseman respawns and can recall/summon or whatever you do to call your horse.
		Spurs aren't made to hurt the horse, most spurs are blunted, and aren't used in a way to injure the horse, but moreso just for a sense of touch.
		Generally today beating horses and prodding them is almost forbidden, older ages didnt use horses as an pet for girls, so then i guess they could be treated worse, but if the spurs were needed for foot signals, then they had limited control in first place.

		His main charge of "fabricating the Harappan horse'' is both baseless and irrelevant; baseless because we have rebutted his charge with the help of the original photograph (Frontline, November 24, 2000), and irrelevant because his claim of "no horse at Harappa'' has been shown to be false.

		I can see how a heavy war horse would keep on my trail but a rider in a warmblooded horse, say a Thoroughbred or a Andalusian, would disappear from sight before you got even close.
		Or even if you were close from the start, a warmblooded breed has a large endurance, enough to sustain a high speed during a long period.
		I think the horses there are a good example of how they could be implemented in AoC, not only horse riding but also fighting atop a horse and using shield/sword combo or spear/lance (though the lance in reality would probably break at the first melee).

		The emotional rush that the rapper and the listener experience isn't primarily based on how their bodies react to the beat (who nevertheless still may contain the elements necessary to get you to nod your head or wind your body).
		To stay with the drinking analogy, Arecee's glass is alternately half empty and half full, as he veers between optimism and pessimism, for instance on the subject of his own rap career ("Panhandling", "Growing Pains").

		The height of the top hat and the narrowness of the brim, as well as the wideness of the lapels on the gentleman's coat and the cap and vest of the fellow with the dog, are consistent with the 1870s and likely to be “uniforms“ of their occupations.
		It seems possible that the horse did just die, get cordoned off until the carcass could be removed, and the photo op appealed to the gentleman while he was visiting the saloon.
