Talk:Torrs Pony-cap and Horns

Holes for ears
I gotta say, that those big holes in the sides about half way down aren't likely for the ears, but for the eyes of the pony. Ears of horses are on the top of the head. Now, if there are holes on top for the ears also, that should be clarified, as most readers are going to assume that the holes visible in the picture are what's referred to in the text.

Otherwise, neat neat article! Ealdgyth - Talk 15:42, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * That's what the sources say - . I don't think the cap came as far down as the eyes. From the lower edge of the ear-hole to the bottom of the cap is only 3 inches .  Does that make sense? Johnbod (talk) 01:36, 29 June 2011 (UTC)


 * That pic is better oriented to show that the holes are ear holes. The way they've got it displayed/pictured in the article, it's a bit confusing. Ealdgyth - Talk 01:43, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Yes. I don't have a horse here to measure sadly. It would be great to have a photo of a mock-up on an actual horse btw, if anyone has some young teens girls handy - the measurements at the link are comprehensive. Johnbod (talk) 01:46, 29 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Heh. My teenaged female labor left for the summer and I don't have any ponies... just full sized horses. I'll try to talk to the hubby about it next week... Ealdgyth - Talk 01:58, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Great stuff! The photo is mine taken last week - as you say it doesn't reflect the normal angle of the head well, but I expect they wanted the decoration at the back to been seen easily. A perspex head, which a Roman helmet there has, would rather leave the ears in the way I suppose. I only took a couple of it - I wish I'd done more now. Johnbod (talk) 02:18, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
