Gallop

You were a child. You loved to watch a show called “Mister Ed,” a situation comedy running on the CBS television network from 1961 to 1966. “Mister Ed” told the story of an architect named Wilbur Post; his talking horse, Mr. Ed; and Wilbur’s wife, Carol. In that order.

You loved Mr. Ed. He was funny. He was sassy. He was sneaky. What kid wouldn’t want to own a talking horse who could surf at Waikiki, fly cargo planes, phone in racing tips to the Pimlico Racetrack, play baseball with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and speak English with a French accent while wearing a beret?
