Coster the horse should complain, there’s no picture of him on his athlete page on the Olympics website.
This is a really cool picture, as is this one.
I had more to say about Coster, but forgot what it was, as I got distracted by this story about Bill and Ben, the oldest living equine twins turning 25 last month.
Bill and Ben are not only the oldest horse twins in the world. It seems they may also be in the running for the title of the naughtiest.
Ponies are by definition trouble. They are pretty cute, though.
update: well geez, I had no idea Coster had been suspended for doping. He’s still a damned handsome horse. Thanks for the tip, Rachel!
He is a stunning horse… but isn’t capsaicin the thing that makes chili peppers hot? why would you give that to a horse? (yes, I could go look it up, but I’d rather just wonder)
Here’s the link you emailed me, I meant to post it but am too lazy to edit now…

And you aren’t going crazy, there was another post under this one that accidentally got posted instead of being saved as a draft and I just un-posted it.
I thought that horse had an inordinate amount of acne and back hair. I hear its had a wicked temper of late too.
