Obviously the horses weren’t the brains behind the operation. They were used to add physical strength to the effort of… putting Humpty Dumpty… back together… who I definitely remember as an egg but am just now realising was only illustrated that way and never actually referred to as an egg in the text of the rhyme itself…
Anyway they probably pulled carts of equipment or something idk how you put an egg back together. Or a human for that matter.
Iirc it was a cannon.
That would explain the horses. You got me interested enough to look into it, and the origin isn’t clear. The cannon is one of the theories, it may also have been a riddle to which the answer was that Humpty was an egg.
I like the idea that it’s a riddle containing a message that all the king’s horses and men can’t even put an egg back together. That no matter how much power and influence you have some things cannot be done; we are all mortal.
This is peak comedy right here
“Have you come up with a solution yet?”
“Neighh”
You bridle like it's such a cinch.
I do feel like all the kings men were doing the bulk of the work on that one.
Damn it, Im a horse, not a doctor!!
Obviously the knights turned the horses into glue but it didn’t work
So obviously Humpty Dumpty wasn’t a pizza.
Yeah, sure, but how does the horsey move?
Better invent the motion picture to find out.
