We live in the 21st century in Singapore - you don't even need a horse! Just get an osim horse thing - Hi Ho Silver , Awwwaay!
Naaaah - go for the saddle club
On a side note; going back to the Lone Ranger - I heard a rumour that 'Kimo Sabe' means 'soggy bush' in navaho. Anyone else hear that? Or am I talking bull plop again

For Baron (from some website, I don't know which one):
What is the meaning of this expression that became such a memorable part of the Lone Ranger series?
Fran Striker, who wrote the scripts, was also the person who answered the fan letters to the Lone Ranger. He always started his replies with... "Ta-i ke-mo sah-bee" ("Greetings trusty scout").
There have been numerous other suggestions regarding the meaning of this term:
Dr. Goddard, of the Smithsonian Institution, was reported as believing that Kemo Sabe was from the Tewa dialect. He supported his contention by calling on the "Ethnogeography of the Tewa Indians" which appeared in the 29th Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology (1916). It seems that in Tewa, "Apache" equates to Sabe and "friend" to Kema.
Jim Jewell, who directed "The Lone Ranger" until 1938 said he'd lifted the term from the name of a boys' camp at Mullet Lake just south of Mackinac, Michigan called Kamp Kee-Mo Sah-Bee. The camp had been established in 1911 by Jewell's father-in-law, Charles Yeager, and operated until about 1940. Translation of kee-mo sah-bee, according to Jewell was "trusty scout."
A scholar from the University of California at Berkley thought that Kemo Sabe came from the Yavapai, a dialect spoken in Arizona and meant "one who is white," since the Ranger always wore a white shirt and trousers in the earliest publicity photos. The Yavapai term is "kinmasaba" or "kinmasabeh"
The Lone Ranger Maquette
Generations of fans have come to love the adventures of the original masked avenger and his faithful ally, Tonto. At 12-inches tall, the Lone Ranger stands heroically atop a detailed rock base, guns drawn, ready for action. The logo has been meticulously sculpted into the rock surface and each silver bullet (28 of 'em), buckle and stud has been individually painted. Authentically detailed and a must for all Lone Ranger fans young and old. Each cold cast resin statue comes hand-painted and ready to display. This extra special edition is individually numbered and strictly limited to 1500 pieces. Includes certificate of authenticity and comes in a special decorated collector box! Designed and sculpted by Ruben Procopio.
According to Rob Malouf, a grad student in linguistics at Stanford, there's another possibility: "According to John Nichols' Concise Dictionary of Minnesota Ojibwe, the Ojibwe word `giimoozaabi' means `to peek' (it could also mean `he peeks' or `he who peeks'). Rob continued: "There are several words with the same prefix ["giimooj," secretly] meaning things like `to sneak up on someone'.... It is quite plausible that `giimoozaabi' means something like `scout'.... `Giimoozaabi' is pronounced pretty much the same as `kemosabe' and would have been spelled `Kee Moh Sah Bee' at the turn of the century."
In his book of humour and observation, noted columnist James Smart observes that the New York Public Library defines "Kemo Sabe" as Soggy Shrub. His entertaining collection is appropriately titled "Soggy Shrub Rides Again and other improbabilities."
An interesting side light comes from the son of Fran Striker, "It is usually assumed that Kemo Sabe is how the Ranger refers to Tonto. However, in many of the early radio broadcasts, the Ranger calls Tonto "Kemo Sabe" AND Tonto also calls the Ranger "Kemo Sabe."
Another suggestion has been that Tonto, (whose name means "stupid" according to some interpretations) responded by calling the Lone Ranger "qui no sabe" which roughly translates from Spanish as "he who knows nothing" or "clueless."
One of Gary Larson's Far Side cartoons shows the Lone Ranger looking in an Indian dictionary and discovering that kemosabe is "an Apache expression for a horse's rear end."
