   Even earlier than Monty Python, Peter Sellers was riding an invisible horse in the 1956 program, “A Show Called Fred”.

   @grumpyoldfart
   1956? Wasn’t that before they domesticated horses?

   My sister and I rode invisible horses all over the neighborhood in the early fifties. Mom insisted that they be stabled in the ivy along the side of the house ~ no riding indoors! In literature it has to go back at least as far as National Velvet (novel 1935, film 1944).

   Monty Python was very, very cool.

   Mishatto, My little sister and I did the same thing! During the winter we were allowed to ride indoors. We were Jim and Sam…cowboys.
