The few surviving horses were done in by pulling heavy steel chariots into war zones. Those horses who shirked their duty were cursed to become dark-skinned tapirs.

Isn't amazing how I'm required to be honest in ALL my dealings with my fellow man whereas Apologist can be deceitful, obscurant, lie by omission and in all manner be Mormonicious.

In any area where horses and humans have existed together (as PG mentions as well), someone would have to come up with a really good explanation of how those humans would ever have allowed such an incredibly useful creature to go extinct.

Just not believable in the slightest.

I read her dissertation
https://pqdtopen.proquest.com/doc/18950 ... tml?FMT=A.I.

Notice her use of Fairmormon for sources, not good to see secondary sources in a doctoral dissertation, especially concerning Loltun cave.

And Thoroughbreds are horses that were valiant in the pre-extinctness?

For his next trick he'll produce birth certificates for them. Trigger, Champion and Mr. Ed.
Naturally, he'll have them notarized so you know they are real.

Most excellent.

And now they are Stud Gods, while the lesser workhorses are merely midgley’s Meat Wads.

If they had horses they would have had saddles -maybe even horseshoes. If they had saddles and horseshoes they would have had iron workers. If they had iron workers they would have had anvils. They would have had tanners, along with clear evidence of tanning vats. They would have had wheels. They would have had roads. If they had roads, they would have had at least some toll booths, and accounting systems for keeping track of the toll fees. They would have had fields of alfalfa or hay. They would have had corrals. They would have had plows, which means they would have had vast fields with straight furrows where they grew monocultures like huge maize fields. And all these things would have been within a few miles, if not a few feet, from each other.

All these things have been found in abundance in the Old World from Roman times, which is the same time period as the supposed Nephite times. Hell, some of the old things are still being used today. Come on, apologists- put up or shut up.
