You should dump it in his bed. Not next to it. For added effect.

Thematically, this only works if the horse in questions was the noble's beloved pet, as was the case in the movie.

Would be over-dwarvenly difficult. Just for obsidian shoes I would have to rebuild 3/4 of fortress. And making artificial lake in which I could cave-in him would need to rebuild the rest of it ... next time I guess.

Nah, see, yer thinkin' like a dwarf - the which is not a bad thing - butcha gotta think like a wise guy.

Build him a new bedroom - "to make up for past misunderstandings" - and put him off his guard. Then anything that happens won't happen in your fortress. A dog and where he sleeps and all like that.  ;)

Actually in the book the horse head was placed next to the bed, but Coppola misread it and didn't realize his mistake until after the scene was shot. Talk about happy accidents, eh?

If you can't place a bed on a dump zone just say you're being faithful to the original source material.

And if he screws up again?

Give him a kiss and then have him demonstrate the proper way to catch carp.  I'll give you a hint, first you say a Hail Mary...

Good catch, thank you.
