"BRO IF A HORSE IS TELLIN U THAT U HAVE A SUNSTROKE, IT'S PROBABLY RIGHT"
-says the horse to a semi-unconscious and delirious old great bulgaria who's slumped over its back
don't worry guys, the horse is smart, it brought old great bulgaria to a shadowy place so he could feel a little bit better and drink some water
for real though, steppe people (including Bulgars) had a very close relationship with their horses, to the point where if a rider got lost, its horse could bring them back home safely bc the horse remembered the way
