HORSES. CAN. TALK.

[VERY HASTILY AND EXCITEDLY WARDED TO EQUESTRIAN CLUB]

LOOK AT WHAT ONE OF MY AUNTS OWLED ME THIS MORNING!! SHE PRINTED IT OFF OF HER PERSONAL HOME PC COMPUTER THING:



Horses can communicate with us by touching symbols. Can you imagine what this means for the Gooseberry stables?? We can talk with the horses! We'll know when they're cold, or sick, or hungry. Or even too hot! This is HUGE! I can't wait to show this to Mr. Covington in Equestrian tomorrow!! Does anybody want to see if we can teach the horses some symbols??

[Warded to Calvin]

Hi Calvin! I'm really sorry that I haven't thanked you yet! Thanks. THANK YOU! Thanks, bud Grassias Thanks for the chocolate frog! I'd never had one before and was afraid it would be all filled up with toothpaste black liquorice on the inside. But if I ever have one again I'm not opening it near anybody's laundry. It was almost a really, really gross frog.

[OOC — Welcome to today's episode of Kas Made Everything Be About Kurt]
1. Article is here if you're curious! Have been told it's okay to handwave the fact that it was actually written three years after. May have accidentally written this upon finding the article: (#noregerts)

1b. He would have rushed immediately to Mr. Covington, his eyes huge, clutching the printed papers like his life depended on it. "They can help us help them." he would have insisted, urgently. In one moment he would thrust the papers at Mr. Covington, and the next, run off to inspect the sizes of the stalls. Three minutes later, he would have come back in a near-panic, "B-but can I?" he would have pleaded, each word dripping with urgency, frantically looking back at the stalls.

2. Kurt will not be in Equestrian tomorrow and I wasn't sure where to post this since there isn't a regular EC post. Instead, he will be seen around the Junior Ribbonfin cabin, where he will look very glum. He'll be looking up drying charms in his textbooks and fruitlessly trying to dry out a History of Magic essay that had become so wet it was rendered illegible. (These details are also subject to change, but they'll be something like this. I'll update this post if it's otherwise.) He will be at the campfire party, though!

This. Is. Adorable.

That's an interesting article! I wonder how many symbols horses could remember at one time?

If you tell me what symbols you'd like, I'll gladly make a display board for you, Kurt.

Oh, uh, you're welcome.

They're very popular back home. People collect the little cards inside. They go wild for the silly things. If... you want, you can tell me which one you got, and it might be a rare one. Although I'm hardly some sort of expert, so don't expect a perfect assessment of its value. And even then I'd give it to you in galleons and sickles.

I want to read the rest of it. How long is it? Did they only test them on the blanket symbols? We need to make a list.

Great!

I wonder how much detail in the symbols they can recognize? And if they have to be pretty literal or more... Um symbolic.
