A HORSE IS A HORSE OF COURSE!
Cowboy Brother feeds Noah a Gnome after a ride around the arena. The gnome will be OK.

In order for the gnomes to feel powerful they have to be looked at in person. They have to be touched and interacted with. As humans, I'm sure we can all relate to this need of being touched and looked at. It is so important to remember that these gnomes we sympathizing and developing empathy with are "inanimate" objects. They don't just walk around on their own, or at least not when we're looking! Gnomes as statures serve a very different purpose, which often goes unnoticed.
They are intended to be used rituals and meditations like Saint statues and shrine fetishes. Each gnome possesses a different capability. As humans, we've lost touch with ritual an innovation. The gnomes being produced and distributed via Joann's or Michaels are fed up with the mendacity kitsch lawn accessorizing and fairy tale associations. Travelocity exploitation is not a journey the gnomes feel proud to sponsor, but what can they do? They're statues!
Although this may look nothing like a gnome it is one. In the world of Charm City Gnomes costume is part of their everyday rituals. This is what we in the fairy-tale forest call GNOME DRAG.
This gnome is really interested in bringing attention to their passion and connection to their sacred forest friend, The Stag. The stag was once a might beast that brought strenght and wisdom from the trees and earth to the people of the woods. As civilization evolved, and machines became standard structures for societal development ( Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction)Just as a gnome is taken from its original environment, so is the stag. Both the gnome and the stag often find themselves transformed, altered, and put on display for human-home decoration pleasure.
Stags don't want to watch T.V, even if they look nice in your living room.
Gnomes don't want to work on your garden, even if they make it look lovely.
Both creatures do much better in the woods.
