Earlier today I posted a few photos of George Washington's Long Horse and it seems to have stirred the bees nest as it were. People are claiming the photos are fakes and accusing me actually photoshopping them myself just to back up my claim. Clearly these people are idiots. One person even went so far as to say this statue is just a photoshopped version of this one. Obviously they are two different statues, a fact that anyone with eyes can recognize since one statue has him riding a long horse and on the other he's just riding a regular horse.

Seriously, check out some of these comments:

"Please, these pictures are so badly photoshopped, it hurts my eyes. I urge you not to make others believe in this obvious bullshit."

"And that "color photo" you posted on boingboing: every saddle, down to every single pixel is perfectly identical. This could only have happened if someone just cloned sections of the horse to create an illusion of a "long horse"."

"You are getting mad at everyone who denies the (former) existence of longhorses, yet you simply do not get that everything you base your case on is photoshopped. Shame on you, seriously."

"wow, its like he thinks if he tries hard enough he can just make us say, "oh really, not photoshopped, even though all evidence possible shows it is?" dur, ok i guess, if he says so""

Can you believe these Idiots? Well I've been doing my homework as well and I've dug up even more proof. Turns out my great great great grandfather used to make horse shoes for long horses and after about 25 calls to random family members today I was able to dig up a photo proving it even further. This is my great great great grandfather Jebediah Bonner:

Now sure, someone might try to argue with that photo by saying it's not really my great great great grandfather but that's pretty much going to be their word against mine isn't it? Well, that's not all the proof I was able to find. Feast your eyes on this:

Got that one off ebay. It's a turn of the century pressed steal long horse toy. How would they have known to make the toy look like that if it wasn't because long horses really existed? Want more? You got it. Here's two more photos of old long horse toys:

That second one is hand carved and from some place far away. So there you have it. Can we put this issue to rest now?
