Richard Harris stars in this 1970 film - "in 1825 an English aristocrat is captured by Indians. He lives with them and begins to understand and accept their lifestyles. Eventually he is accepted as part of the tribe and becomes their leader"
The English countryside is full of unexpected twists and turns, from quaint villages with thatched cottages & duck ponds to magnificent vistas and stunning views...but sometimes it's the more blatant and 'in your face' things which take your breath away. This is the Westbury White Horse, a large equine figure originally cut into the side of Bratton Hill to the east of the town of Westbury in the early 18th century. And on a blustery evening like yesterday, with the sun highlighting the most perfect of clouds as they scudded across the sky, he looked so gorgeous and photogenic!
Carvings such as these are referred to as Leucippotomy; while horses are the usual subjects of chalk-carving, human figures too can be carved on the chalk uplands so characteristic of southern England - it really is fascinating stuff!
Anyway, perhaps not so much 'a man called horse' more like 'a hill called horse' :o))
