Horse Appreciation Thread

[Earl Grey Ghost 446]

I hope there's not already a thread like this on here, but I thought that maybe we could have a thread for horse appreciation! I love horses, and the are very beautiful, strong and intelligent creatures, so let the discussion and picture posting begin! Please be respectful and kind, everyone likes different things for different reasons! I'll start the first picture off with one that is very much like my Pony Persona, Momento Mori (sans the wings obviously! lol).

certainly my love of horses drove me more into this fandom. I was so happy to finally have a real reason to have a pegasus OC. had been mulling it over for some time before that as I was active in the furry fandom. One of those people who doenst like having too many charcaters to manage.

My fave breeds are: Shires, Clydes, Dartmoor Ponies and shelties. Big fan of heavy power horses and stocky rugged ponies.

Well here we go then, let's post a few of those mentioned so far, as well as one of my favourites, the Appaloosa!

just saying!

Horses are indeed beautiful animals. Anyone who has ever interacted with a horse in person would know that. Or just anyone who has seen a horse in person!

[The Kaeya Simp 13,986]

Equines are excellent...

Humans are the opposite...

What does everypone think of this discraceful vid!

While I do agree with you to a certain extent, and understand your sentiment, it is getting increasingly harder to find land for wild horses. I'm sure you aren't entirely opposed to people who use say---dogs for work, such as police dogs, rescue dogs, drug sniffing dogs, cadaver dogs----well horses are work animals too and can be used in law enforcement, as well as farming land. As long as the individuals owning these horses do not abuse them, respect them and take ample care of them with excellent shelter, and just overall good animal ownership, I don't quite see the problem with horses being owned. I'm sure you have a pet or two, do you not? And if not, are you against your friends that do?

Horses can be great companion animals just like cats, dogs, etc---and just like other pets, (mostly cats and dogs), can be used as therapy animals as well.

yall are lookin at a horse-crazy gal right here!  I volunteer at a horse riding stable (I muck stalls and help with the horse care) and I love western style riding.

My favorite horse breeds are the Thoroughbred:

 

And the American Quarter Horse:

Love the Mustang as well. The car not so much, but the horse, yes please!

Then of course, our Arabian

And we cannot forget about the breath-taking Akhal-Teke. <3 I cannot get over how gorgeous this horse is!

I actually pet a Clydesdale at Disneyland a few years ago. He was sweet.

I'd like to know what's in their minds

To really appreciate a horse, you need to understand them.

This guy gives a ton of good insight on caring for horses. Here's his latest vid:
 

And when it comes to people who think they know what's best, he'll put you on full blast:

Arabian Horses are the prettiest IMO.

 

Interesting Tip:

Apparently Prophet Solomon/Sulayman (AS) had an intense fascination for horses under Islamic History (Not sure if its also the same under Judeo-Christian History). He owned like a thousand of them from his father Prophet David/Dawud (AS).

What is it with Horses having a sacred significance under the Abrahamic Religions?

 

Oh well who cares, they’ve got such derpy looking snouts that its cute.

Fresians! *___*

Another gorgeous horse, I'm sorry, I couldn't peg the breed right off, but the whole pictures is just beautiful! I had to share!

[KillerKingBakudan 702]

Just saw this the other day, and I just had to post it.

I really love horses I've been wanting to go horseback riding for a long time of course I don't know of any places to do trail rides her in Cincinnati 

I don't know of any equestrian parks that give trail rides close to where I live or if I have enough money to do so 

but I really love horses and their lovely flowing mane's

and lovely flowing tails

all that beautiful hair on their mane and tail just flowing in the wind as the horse runs and gallops on so beautiful

I used to train Morgan Horses. The Digital pics I have are not very good quality though - and most are all on paper photos. Anyway, my favorite horse was named 'Midnight Echo' and she was the fastest, strongest mare I've ever met. All black, and very much the 'Nightmare Moon' of my life for a while. 

I used the Monty Roberts training method. I was quite successful with it.

Here are some Morgans:

I love riding, though it's been a little while since I've had a chance to. Ultimately, I'd love to ride in hunts, but that's a good ways off still. I'm not THAT good yet.

I'm also a huge fan of horse racing, and I've taken several trips to Lexington to see all the farms and the famous champions who inhabit them. I've even got a lock of mane from 1994 Kentucky Derby winner Go For Gin. I REALLY wanna go see American Pharoah, but I dunno when I'll be able to do that.

[Magic_Spark 154]

Well I have what most dream of. 

I own a miniature horse. she is something special. She makes people happy just being around them. 

She has won ribbons at Nationals and local shows. She loves to pull a cart and drive. I plan on breeding her sometime in the future. Just right now my trainer says to wait a bit more. She is an expert and has been very good to both me and my horse. She gives hugs and kisses too.

I love horses one reason is their related to My Little Pony have you noticed the ponies from the older generations of My Little Pony actually look more like a horse than the current Generation of course their still ponies they just look different I think a horses mane and tail are very unique parts of their body and also makes them unique horses are one of my favorite animals I enjoy horses manes and tails flowing in the wind while running I enjoy their lovley flowing tail all those hairs from the tail just looks so beautiful a horses lovely flowing mane and lovely flowing tail just flow like a river baby

[ZethaPonderer 2,197]

What kind of horse is being shown in this video?

Also, just posting this here for appreciation and most importantly for the LOLZ.

Horse are wonderful creatures, but sadly I had a really bad experience that stopped me from riding them. I ran into a vine while riding a horse and it got caught on my neck, so it gave me a large cut and choked me a little before I was able to get it off. Anyways, I still love ponies and horses though.
