Arabian horses strut their stuff

The Arabian horse breed is arguably one of the most beautiful with its concave profile and proud carriage. In 2018, during the National Endurance Ride Championships, I was lucky enough to go on a tour of an Arab stud. Because of the breed's toughness and spirit, Arabs are very popular as endurance mounts.
One at a time, four stallions were shown at liberty in the arena. Later, we were driven out to see the mares in the paddocks. Although I wasn’t taking photos for the website at the point, I had my trusty point and shoot camera with me and managed to get some quite nice shots. I had forgotten all about these photos but came across them again today. I hope you like them.

My eight year old great granddaughter has become obsessed with horses. She asked me about Arabians recently so I showed her photos I found on the internet. I will show her yours, they’re gorgeous!

@JWMILLER @HomewardBound Yes, it does seem that many young girls become besotted with horses and riding. I was one of them.

@JudyEv They use them for that here also. I have also seen some good barrel racing horses that were at least part arab. They are very agile and can turn around the barrels easily.

@kobesbuddy They certainly can be. They don't suit everybody.

Wow, that is indeed a stunning horse! How beautiful!!!!
(Now that I’m back home and all the jackasses are gone after the Kentucky Derby I can stand to look at horses again. )
