Apparently...

in the south it's become common to graffiti horses, and we're not talking tiny tags here. No, we're talking the full eight can, six colours, four shades and something in geometric. It's a wonder the horse fails to notice, though in animal terms it seems horses are remarkably dim. So dim they make sheep look good, even after shearing when no sheep looks its best. I was reminded of horses on Saturday when Prince Charles and Camilla were on the news. Both ostensibly worse for the wear, no doubt from a gin too many afore the ceremony. As ever Charles affected his startled palomino look and Camilla, well Camilla had the air of someone upon whom a coat of graffiti would not have gone amiss. On reaching the door of Windsor's Registry Office they swayed in a bewildered manner until some off camera flunky with an enormous stick poked them into the building. Imagine the mayhem if at that moment a passing sheep had stopped to jeer.
