Speaking of "manakin"/"horseaikin", there was a beautiful WWII German
camouflaged horsedrawn wagon (Conestoga???) at Beltring complete with two
horses (not camouflaged!). Well, the wind moved their tails... and it took
a few minutes for me to realize that the two horses were...
dummies/"horseaikin"!!! Consider that on the background there was that
special trailer to move real horses...!!!

"From my cold dead hands": yes! it is a sign I have seen in the film "Red
Dawn" by John Milius (vice-director of the N.R.A.)!
