1. I read that Polo riders like a small headed horse but that looks really strange.

2. Ok. Except that it’s not the same animal. It might be an exact copy at the genetic level (and even then not really due to transformation) but it’s personality and traits that made it unique won’t be the same because replicating the life of the first is impossible.
   Just because sometimes can be done doesn’t mean it should be.

3. $800,000 for a pony? Don’t let Capt Capitalism see that, he’ll blow his top.

4. Still beautiful animals.

5. Polo Players unite against GMOs. ☺

6. Maybe we could clone politicans. Oh, that’s right it has been done.

7. I thought they were called “Polo horses” because they were in mint condition?

8. Whateva….

9. Yeah well it’s my understanding, that thanks to dolly, that it was established that the aging process is like the maturing process. IOW the individual cells have a built in odometer in the DNA. Cloning a mature critter, limits the clones life expectancy to the source cells.
   So, hypothetically cloning a middle-aged individual will result in a prematurely aging clone…..no fountain of youth.
   But I may have been misinformed…….

10. Think Godfather, Part 1.
    Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!

11. What a splendid picture. I hope to be excused for a bit of levity here.
    In 1954 Ava Gardner starred in the movie “The Barefoot Contessa”. I checked on IMBd, the movie information site. There was the poster for the movie and verified what I had read at the time. To the left of Ava was the statement “the world’s most beautiful animal” meaning Ava.
    I remember a rather conservative gentleman who made a statement to the press. “The world’s most beautiful animal? I thought it was a hawss!”
    Upper middleclass pronunciation of the word- Horse. (lol).

12. Ban Cloning we dont need another Barack Obama,John Kerry,Bill Clinton or Jerry(Moonbeam) Brown
