May mean squat to non horse people.
I was reading a novel in which the hero rode off on his gelding and arrived on his mare. At the point in the book when he arrived, I said to myself "Wasn't he on a gelding?" And had page back to verify that such an important fact (to me anyway) was in error. Aha, I said to myself- the author didn't notice.
I always felt sorry for a movie director who thought the general public too stupid to tell the sex of the animals in their films. To me it was incredible that such an obvious thing was palmed off on the public.
A bad case of tunnel vision as most of the public can not see the difference and wouldn't care if they did. To them, chestnuts and bays are simply brown and all grays are white horses.
I despair of a country whose population doesn't know what really matters. And thinks it's funny that you do.
