The scene was, as the cliche goes, idyllic. Rolling meadows of green blending into the even more picturesque White Mountains. Stunningly beautiful horses- jet black, chestnut brown, almost silver - roamed the hillside, surely aware of how lucky they were to live on a farm like this, especially on a perfect day like this.

Said Byron , "Do ya notice something odd about these horses?"
-
Not being an expert on the subject, I could only shake my head. My interest was piqued. Animal facts are usually awesome.
-
He continued "Notice how the right side legs, front and rear, of the horses are significantly shorter than the left side legs. This is so that they can easily graze on the steep hillsides of New Hampshire."
-
My mind was *blown away*! Hurray for evolution! What an awesome fact!
-
There are no nature documentaries on the Granite State that I can think of. Yet in my head I heard David Attenborough's British voice say "Deep in the mountains of New Hampshire, horses have developed a special adaptation..."
-
The look of wonder on my face must have been pretty evident. Because Byron started shaking, slightly at first, before spilling out into all out laughter like a madman.

It wasn't even April but boy, was I fooled!
