For fuck's sake:

> A strange initiation ritual involving a toad was required for members of a secret caste of nineteenth-century horse mystics.
> In the folklore of East Anglia (eastern England), a man who performed this rite became a “Toadman,” a kind of witch known for having a powerful affinity with horses. A Toadman could calm a raging horse, or turn a tame one wild, so that no one else could calm it.
> Becoming a Toadman would have been an appealing prospect to the typical nineteenth-century East Anglian ploughman. As skilled laborers, ploughmen were a notch above farmhands, but they lacked the clout of the landowners. A good ploughman was always in demand, but a bad one quickly became a figure of gossip. With a position like that, at once rewarding and tenuous, a little supernatural help could hardly go amiss.
Lots of Ennie wins this year for the crew.
