Answer 1

This picture (photo) reminds me of the famous saying: 'You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink!' I really think this horse would be happier if his owner allowed him to continue to graze in the field!

Con correcciones: Esta imagen (foto) me recuerda el refrán famoso: '¡Puedes darle consejo a alguien, pero no puedes obligarlo a que lo siga'! ¡De verdad, creo que este caballo estaría más contento si su dueño le permitiera continuar a pastar en el campo!

el refrán......lE permitiera, jejej, good one, - Heidita2 19 mins ago

Original caption (Spanish only): Esta imagen (foto) me recuerda del refrán famoso: '¡Puedes darle consejo a alguien, pero no puedes obligarlo a que lo siga'! ¡De verdad, creo que este caballo estaría más contento si su dueño lo permitiera continuar a pastar en el campo!

Good one! - rac1, Jul 5, 2017

I had some help from my Oxford English /Spanish Dictionary with the saying (refrán) itself, as I had no idea how to translate this one, but the rest of the Spanish is my own work and effort - FELIZ77, Jul 5, 2017

Answer 4

mientras que bien hecho :) - 006595c6, Jul 5, 2017

Gracias por la corrección. - NKM1974, Jul 5, 2017

Hola Nkm. "While / Whilst" requires two clauses in a sentence. You can just join your two sentences to fix this "... illusion, whilst the ..." Or, if you want to keep two sentences, you can replace "Whilst" with "Meanwhile." - jellonz, Jul 5, 2017

Answer 7

A diferencia de Keenland o Fasig-Tipton (para caballos de pura sangre), la subasta primal por los caballos de Mongolia está escasamente atendido.

Unlike Keenland or Fasig-Tipton (for Thoroughbreds), the Mongolian horse yearling auction is sparsely attended.

para caballos de ....la subasta de potros de Mongolia ...atendido. difficult, good try - 006595c6, Jul 5, 2017

Thank you, Heidi. Portos are foals, but I am talking about ones that are one year old. The word it gave in the dictionary for a yearling is primal. Is that word wrong? - Echoline, Jul 5, 2017

Oi mate! The velvet ropes are there for a reason! Get your horse out of there!

Love it! - AnnRon, Jul 5, 2017

Thanks Ann :) - jellonz, Jul 6, 2017

mueve tu caballo y sácalo de ahí. I guess this would be "tú" form ;) - 006595c6, Jul 6, 2017

Gracias Heidi - I was tossing up whether to use su to represent formality or tu as a lack of respect? and I just couldn't figure out how to make sacar work :) Thanks again. - jellonz, Jul 6, 2017

This last edit is based on another question in the Q & A. I think I got there in the end :) - jellonz, Jul 7, 2017

Los caballos mongoles ejemplifican la prueba lucha en un ambiente cambiante, en este caso, la desertización.

Mongolian horses exemplify struggle in a changing environment, in this case, desertification.

struggle would be lucha here. :) - 006595c6, Jul 5, 2017

Thanks, Heidi. I had that and then changed it after looking on wordreference.com. I guess that was a bad decision. - AnnRon, Jul 5, 2017
