Episode Cast and Crew Details

• In the 1st century, Roman Emperor Caligula so cherished his horse Incitatus that he fed the animal oats mixed with solid gold flakes. Eighteen servants cared for the horse in a stable made from marble and ivory. [edit]
• The largest documented horse in history was Sampson, an English Shire foaled in 1846. Sampson stood seven feet tall at the withers and weighed 3,380 pounds, roughly the same as a compact car. [edit]
• The highest price ever paid for a horse at auction was 15 million dollars for a 2 year old named "The Green Monkey" in 2006. But the horse never won a race and retired with lifetime earning of just of $10,000. [edit]
