Looks like a camel to me.

"The horse is the most important animal in Mongolia,” an aide traveling with Biden told reporters. “It is the lifeblood of the country (nomadic history), so giving a horse is one of the most meaningful gifts that can be given."
Biden said that he named the horse “Celtic.” But the horse apparently did not respond in kind. When asked later to explain what happened, Biden said the animal "reared up" on him and concluded that it must not have liked "the Irish epitaph."

Unless “Celtic” suddenly committed suicide upon hearing his new owner was Joe Biden, didn’t he mean to say Irish epithet?
Lord, save us from this moron.

It is now...
My fave mongolian movie..."Close to Eden". Glorious. Rent it. It will blow you away.
Well, it was Joe Biden. Can’t expect him to understand what comes out of his mouth.

or Johnkerry...
“...it must not have liked “the Irish epitaph.”
Methinks Joe meant “epithet,” recognizing “Celtic” might not be well received by a Mongolian.
“the Irish epitaph.”
It was a dead horse?
Did he wake up and find it in his bed?
“YOU like Horse?”
“mmm, yes very nice.”
Was soup last night...”
Did the horse die?
Biden, you clown. The word you are looking for is epithet
Looks like a camel to me.
Check the toes, it’s the only way to be sure...
Bet if Joe was given an Irish Setter he would name it Genghis.

“the Irish epitaph.”
Obviously, The Gaffe Machine Biden does not know the definition of “epitaph”.
Maybe he was jut beating a dead horse.
Biden's Secret Service name is also Celtic. It's supposed to be kept a secret.
When Biden used that name for a gift horse he blew his own security cover.
Now the Secret Service has to come up with a new name and change all of their security protocols for Joe.
“After reading the entire article, I found that Biden tried his hand at archery. Dear God! That’s the last man who should be allowed near arrows!”
When I read about this, I couldn’t help but conjure up an image of Joe Biden with his bow, and Dick Cheney with his shotgun, going out hunting together. I’m pretty sure Dick Cheney would be a lot safer than Joe Biden in that scenario.
“... if Joe was given an Irish Setter he would name it Genghis”.
Seriously, that is the post of the day for me! LOL!!
Could be worse. My mom had a Lhasa Apso once, and named it “Chinka”.
Beginning to think, we will hear a similar announcement soon from Biden; like the sad one, we just heard from Glenn Campbell.
That is to say; it's "alzheimers" - but with no good-bye tour. (Maybe this trip is what the Doctor - and Obama - ordered. Or just Valerie Jarrett.)
No doubt about it. Dick Cheney would be safer than Biden.
