Fascinating theory. Wild horses do all crap in the same place, but generally not in anoxic waters of swamps and marshes where plant matter must accumulate to preclude oxidation and preserve carbon to subsequently form coal seams.

Since the SK coal was deposited in the Cretaceous and horses did not evolve until a little later during the Paleocene, it is more likely that the coal deposition ended when the horses showed up and ate all of the plants. The horses extract much of the BTU content for their own metabolism and as talented as they are with regard to their toilet habits, they are woefully ignorant about coal diagenesis. The bottom line is that these horses may have diminished the potential value of my GXS shares. I am considering bringing this to the attention of Jim Sinclair and imploring him to initiate a class action suit against the Eohippus.
