Plod:According to Wiki, the ’Urban Legend’ is Catherine..um……”LOVED” horses and I’ll leave it at that cause theres probably kids in the room.
It may be that the myth about Catherine arose because some of her lovers were members of what is now the British royal line. In many cases, it’s easy to get them confused…
Jealous lies made up by male nobility that made a law after she died that women couldn’t be Tsar. It was all very well and good for male Russian nobility to have as many concubines, male or female, as they liked, but to have the Empress Catherine taking lovers and then treating them well after she was done with them, well, that could not be tolerated. One of her lovers was Orlov, who was a great breeder of horses (Orlov trotters) and that was really the only connection. As far as I can tell, Catherine never even rode a horse, from either direction.

In the last panel, if Liz is speaking to the horse, there shouldn’t be a comma in her balloon.

Catherine rides underside-saddle.

If Catherine isn’t careful, she could get herself killed someday doing that.

Liz is NOT speaking to the horse; she is speaking to the person under the horse.
