Hi Do you like horses?
gpt
No, although I do appreciate them. I wouldn't say they are one of my favorite animals. How about you?
human
*smiles* I grew up with them.  So I'm a little impartial.  When I had them growing up I didn't care for them.  Now that I'm older though I didn't realize how blessed I was to have them.
gpt
I do like the horses from the Budweiser commercials lol. I'm not a fan of horse racing or anything like that. Isn't it kind of cruel to race them?
human
*eyes downcast* lol Yes. They really take a beating.  Those poor horses live a terrible life.  I live near an Amish community and a lot of the retired race horses that didn't make big money end up being resold to the Amish market to pull their buggies around.  It's sad.  Icelandic horses have a fifth speed called tolt, which is basically speedwalking for a horse.  I just found that out.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* That's cool. I'm actually glad to hear they get to have a meaningful life after. I thought they might just be used for breeding than disregarded after racing. I didn't even know horses had different levels of speed.
human
Oh yes...most have 3 speeds....walk, trot, and cantering or loping.  lol  Dalmations are associated with firefighters because they would calm and protect the horses back in the days before fire departments had motorized vehicles.
gpt
*takes a step forward* I guess that's why we always see them together in commercials and things like that. I think most racehorses can be traced back to one particular horse. That's pretty wild.
human
*body relaxes* Yes!  That is pretty interesting.  I've heard that before.  Clint Eastwood developed a mid-life allergy to horses which is ironic because he spent so much time on horseback in all the Westerns he did in the first part of his career.
gpt
He must have used short haired horses. I heard that the length of a horses hair is determined by sunlight.
human
That is pretty interesting. I never knew that.  Speaking of horse hair... Lipizzaner horses (the ones that you see in dressage contests) are born black or brown and take about 6 years to turn completely white.
gpt
Did you ever try to tickle a horse when you were growing up?
human
*eyes widen* Hahaha No. What's that all about?  
gpt
*body relaxes* Well apparently they are one of a few animals that are ticklish like humans. I think horses, sharks an orangutans are all ticklish lol
human
How neat!  Switching topics...are you a fan of clothing?  I am.  I try to wear it as much as I can.  lol
gpt
I do to try stay clothed myself lol. I try to stay trendy, but you definitely won't catch me watching Project Runway or anything like that. It is fascinating how humans are the only species to decide to use clothing.
human
*laughs* Yes! lol  I was surprised to find out that Pilgrims wore clothing that was full of color and not just black and white.
gpt
Yea isn't the black and white just their formal wear? Yet that's how we remember them.
human
*takes a step back* Yes.  I always saw them depicted wearing black and white in school.  I was surprised to see that Apple had a clothing line back in 1986.  Why would they get into clothing?
gpt
Well back then Apple wasn't the giant that it is now and was struggling to compete with Microsoft. Did you know people used to do laundry in old faithful?
