From this thread on a previous page, Arnie, my horse that died a year and a half ago......

And now, my new barn buddy, Love God. Oh, yes, you absolutely better believe we're thinking up a new name. Racing names are always a bit weird, but this one......eeewwwwwwwww.......

If you compare him with Arnie, you can see we have to put about 100lbs. on his bones. He's only five, so hopefully we'll have him for a quarter century like we did Arnie.

The Trundholm sun chariot (Danish: Solvognen) is a late Nordic Bronze Age artifact dating from c. 1400 BC which was discovered in 1902 in a peat bog in Denmark. It is a bronze statue of a mare and a large bronze disk (gilded on the right side), which are placed on a device with spoked wheels. The artifact was cast in the lost wax method. Here is an image of a stamp depicting the sun chariot (as it may originally have appeared), designed by Viggo Bang, engraved by Bent Jacobsen, and issued by Denmark on May 15, 1957, Scott No. 364, Facit No. 394, plus a photo of the actual museum artifact.

to KCR10Elswick
Hi Kevin
I am very glad to see a colleague.
Equestrian sport and horse racing including the most popular sub-theme in the "horse philately", in my opinion

You have shown wonderful Japanese special postmark, can I use your pictures for my site?

By the way I invite you to my site "Horse on stamps" www.horse-stamps.narod.ru . I hope you will find some interesting material for you. The site includes not only the stamps, but also special postmarks and postal cards and envelopes.

Write me by mail or PM- I'll be very glad to discuss our common passion !

In addition to the Danish stamp, which showed nethryk

Trundholm sun chariot from Botswana

I don't know why the mail Botswana chose this plot, but the chariot looks very very colorful in Africa. Danish version is better in my opinion
