Oh, you don't want to slaughter my horse, do you?

I've got a different 7 lines suggestion though :

                   yip..                         
             Yip..         yip..   \              
                                  __G.            
                                 (ab)(\.-=,       
          .--.   .-- .    .--.    \/.-')`/        
         '    `.'      `.'    _ _-'>>b "'         
                             (*)   b           a:f
        
:)

The word "convert" indicates that this is something that could be done
very easily, even automatically by a program. I'm afraid it's a bit more
difficult than that (for example, notice that nobody has yet been able
to make a _good_ "gif-to-ascii converter"). What you are asking for is a
completely new picture (it would be at that size) of a horse with a
rider carrying a sword and a shield. This is an excellent challenge to
the ascii artists in aaa, but it is not an easy one (a six-line version
would easily find its way into my six-line challenge file...
*hint*hint*).

This is such a great pic...  I don't really know
if it can get much smaller while keeping its
greatness...  here's my humble attempt.
