Ohmygosh, the horse photo~~ <3 <3

They are Norwegian Fjord horses. They are my favorite breed.

I like Arabians and Thoroughbreds, they have a certain regalness to them.

Meh, Arabians are nice, but every Thoroughbred I have ever met has had an ugly head. There is a certain build to Fjords that make them sturdy and cute. Pluse you can put hearts in their mane.

I'm sorry, but my first though after seeing that picture was "Emo". 

I mean common, black hearts, and his/her mane over the eyes like that...

Nah, Przewalski's horse has got an ugly head, Thoroughbreds are built for speed so I sort of overlook that a bit. If I'm not mistaken, Arabians are some of their ancestors...




Arabian mare with her foal. All arab's heads are the same, they're the most recognizable breed out there IMO.

Arabs are beautiful. Przewalski's horses are cool. They are also very closely related to Fjords. If we are going for ugliest head though,  Lipizzaners have my vote. I hate the Roman nose on some of them. Of course, every breed has good and bad horses. Many of the one around here are the poorly bred versions. And another fjord foal, just because.

I do love the look of most Arabians. Not all are exactly the same, though - Egyptian lines tend to have more extreme, delicate, dishy heads with a more pronounced jibbah (forehead bulge), for example.

Also, I want to get a Fjord now - just so I can scissor hearts into its mane.

Funny I was just looking up Lipizzaners! I had always associated them with Austria but apparently they're not an Austrian breed, just the most common for those fancy shows they put them through.

That foal is cute, but then again nearly all baby animals are cute.

I'm assuming they're also the ones with the more upturned noses/snouts? Okay, I shouldn't have said that all their heads are the same, but they're all still very recognizable though, even with the slight variations. I can't say the same for many other horse breeds, many of them look the same to me.

It's crazy what selective breeding can do to a breed. Especially a breed like the Quarter horse. I usually put them in about three categories:

Halter



Pleasure



and Ranch

They were originally bred for racing right? Quarter mile races? The first one looks like a runner...

Racing and ranch work. That first one isn't even fit to ride. His hooves are too small for relative body mass and he has too much muscle.

AWWWWWW.  Why don't we have a smiley with hearts for eyes?  I need one right now.

That's adorable, details?

Small, brown and with a collar that's a little too big!
