May 17, 2026 would have been the 50th birthday of Königsstuhl - a German thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In 1979 he won the German Triple Crown and is the first horse that won all the races necessary for this crown. Since 1979 no other horse has won the crown. In addition to racing success, he was named German horse of 1979 and was German champion sire in 1988 and 1994.
I will post information about him from Wikipedia and other links before I give my thoughts.

Königsstuhl (17 May 1976 – 1995) was a German thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In 1979 he won the German Triple Crown and is the first horse that won all the races necessary for this crown. Since 1979 no other horse has won the crown. In addition to racing success, he was named German horse of 1979 and was German champion sire in 1988 and 1994.
Background
Königsstuhl was a black/darkbay thoroughbred. The stallion was born at the stud Zoppenbroich in West Germany. He was a son of Dschingis Khan (1961–1986) (Tamerlane -Donna Diana) and his dam was Königskrönung (1958–† ) (Tiepoletto-Krönung).
His dam Königskrönung was a great distance horse during her racing career, but also a big horse. Her first foals were much too big for a racing career. Kurt Bresges, the stud manager and owner of stud Zoippenbroich, made some stud experiments before he took a small stallion for his big mare.
On 17 May 1976 a black/darkbay colt was born. Königsstuhl was not a beauty in his young years. He had problems with his legs and had also a big head. The farrier gave him position help for hoof correction. In October 1977, Bresges died. His wife had to take over the stud management. She gave all yearlings and also Königsstuhl to horse trainer Sven von Mitzlaff. Bresges sold most of the yearlings, but Mitzlaff advised her to keep Königsstuhl. So the horse remained in possession. In August 1995 he died of colic.

In spring 1979 he qualified for the German Derby (Ger-Gr. I 2400m) and won the German 2000-Guineas (Ger-Gr. 2). In the summer of 1979 he won the German Derby (Ger-Gr. 1 2400m). After this he won some important races and in autumn 1979 he won the German St. Leger (Ger-Gr. II 2800m) to complete the German Triple Crown.

MY THOUGHTS:
As an animal lover, I love admiring horses, especially how they move around. Regardless of whether is horse racing or on buggy, I love watching them. I feel that horses can be use for riding and farmwork but I not for fighting in wars.
As I live in Australia, I also watch horse auctions and I noticed that horses are not getting cheaper. Unlike during the 20th century, horses do not cost more than $15,000. Nowadays, they can cost between $20,000 to more than $200,000.
Despite the costs, I still love the horses. I will remember Königsstuhl on his 50th birthday. If I had all the money in the world, I would have bought Königsstuhl, if he was alive.

Keep an eye out for little Amish riders like these guys out on the road. In some communities the pony cart is quite popular and you will see young Amish children (in some cases a good bit younger than the fellows in this photo) taking them for short trips on the roads. They sit much lower to the road than your average buggy, though they often (though not always) have the orange warning flag like you see in this photo. The one in this particular photo is not especially high but it does give a bit more visibility, eg coming down hills. Anyway, just a reminder if you're traveling in Amish areas that may have these. No one wants to be involved in a life-changing accident. This photo was taken in the Jamesport, Missouri community by Don Burke.

the late 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries, drawn usually by one or sometimes

"Outlined against a blue, gray October sky the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as famine, pestilence, destruction and death. These are only aliases. Their real names are: Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden. They formed the crest of the South Bend cyclone before which another fighting Army team was swept over the precipice at the Polo Grounds this afternoon as 55,000 spectators peered down upon the bewildering panorama spread out upon the green plain below."
