This is the same little paddock yesterday's horse was in. Two young women exercising their horses. The horses are wearing "hats" to protect them from the deer flies and mosquitoes in the woods. Presumably the women are planning a trail ride after their exercise session

reeves123, the most beautiful horse I've ever met was an Arabian stallion named Cadence owned by a cousin of mine. Based on their history and on Cadence, I'm not at all surprised the breed is good at winning endurance races.

jack 2 for the last 75 years or more an arab horse has won the world endurance race , I trained race horses for over 40 years T"breds and trained Arabian horses for the last 10 years or so I had Arabian horses that would run a mile flat race on Monday and run a 100 miler on Saturday and win both look hhim up his name was Sumthingtosingabout [ some thing to sing about ]

Plumpossum, yes, the lipizzans are gorgeous. Their motion is stunningly beautiful. The Friesians are too, but the manes and tails are somehow overdone. When I see them all I can think of is the amount of work it would take to keep those manes looking their best. I wouldn't dare go for even a walk in the woods on one. And the percherons and clydesdales are my favorites of the heavy draft group.

Finally did look it up Jacki. I recognize him (her?) from a previous Jigidi posting (two years ago or something like that). Silver palomino, shiny coat, and looks to me like the perfect horse for the anorexic supermodels of a few years ago. I'll take one of these healthy looking creatures over that poor beast any day. These are horses to love and share adventures with. That one is something to put in a padded stall wrapped in cotton batting.

Beauty, of course, is in the eye of the beholder, as some one once said. Arabians are enchantingly beautiful, but to me, the so-called "baroque horses" (Andalusians, Friesians, Lipizzans, etc) are exceedingly gorgeous, and so are the mighty draft breeds.

I didn't look up "the most beautiful horse in the world", but it is probably its astonishing color that makes it so beautiful. Its picture has been around for a while.

sometime, when you get a chance, go on the net and look up the most beautiful horse in the world and let me know what you think.

jacki2

that's true about arabians and they are very fast for short runs. but they don't have the stamina of quarter horses and some other breeds. i haven't had a chance to ride any either. the strongest horses i've ever ridden were appaloosas. and they are very sweet too. but a appy stallion ran away with me one day. considering the size of his neck, i don't think he really noticed i put on the brakes. after a couple of miles he stopped. i got him turned around and we walked all the way back to the barn,

I agree with you Jacki, though I have seen a few that are . . . let's call it "less beautiful" aesthetically than others. And yes Arabian is over the top in sheer beauty. Quarter Horses are a favorite of mine, not for their aesthetic beauty, though they are up near the top, but because they are so very intelligent and intuitive. I've never ridden a purebred Arabian, but from one part arabian I loved to ride and from reading about them, they seem to be both intelligent and intuitive also.

hi jacki. pretty sure it is an untouched photo. to me, all horses are beautiful, but i always thought arabians are the most beautiful of all. and that one has it all. i agree-a work of art.

and this is a nice shot. i've never seen those 'hats'. i don't think i ever rode much in the woods. we had a few acres and our roads were so lightly traveled, it was pretty safe riding along them and we had lots of open fields around too.

bluebird42

Wow, Jacki! Is that black Arabian a painting or a photo? These are just horses, that one, either way, is a work of art.

Janet, the leather thongs sound effective as the horse can shake his head and get his own flies off. These depend a lot more on the insect not being able to get at the horse. Hugs.

jacki2

jacki, you need to see the arab ladywil posted.

Yes I was interested in these eyes and ear hats too, Jacki. Some bridles in Australia have short leather thongs to keep away the flies. I too loved riding horses when I was young and had two friends who owned horses, so I had fun there, but haven't done it for many years now. We couldn't afford to keep a horse then, so I never owned my own, just galloped about with my friend and our pretend horses.
Thanks for the memories, hugs.

Eyes yes, and they have ears of mosquito netting. I'd never seen them before either. Somebody found them in some equestrian catalog and ordered a few. They were helpful, so we ordered more. If we're planning to spend much time in the deep woods we carry a leafy branch to "sweep" the flies off neck and hind quarters as needed, but reaching the ears and around the eyes is difficult from the back of a horse.

I was incredibly lucky to be born into this family, Ardy. But I spent the school months as you did, with stick horses and later with bicycle horses -- until the snow flew. Though there was one spring when the veterinarian down the street allowed us to "train" a few of his heifers for riding. He had a herd of cows and sold milk on the side.

Welcome Lunie!

Interesting about the "hats" - never heard of those before. They seem to only protect the eyes - and remind me of Aussie hats.

I wanted to learn to ride when I was a kid but again it was an expensive sport so I just dreamed and pretended. We galloped around the neighborhood with our stick horses. Thanks, Jacki.

Thanks for sharing Jacki!
