It’s the second time I see so beautiful photos of horses. The photographer had to love this animals sooo much! Thanks for sharing them. It was a really incredible pleasure to watch them.
Can you tell me what Breed of horse the large black one with 2 white hooves on the back legs is?
Looks like a Gypsy Vanners, I think most if not all of these are Cobs aka gypsy vanners.

What’s that horse with the black hair standing up behind the others in the second frame?
Also, is the last one a pinto draft horse? That doesn’t look so rare to me… Even I’ve got a pinto pony.

How are these horses rare? They’re a bunch of Gypsy Vanners, that are common as dirt and sold to silly Americans as pretty fluffy fairy horses. And it’s retarded to consider color when breeding unless it’s to avoid the frame or splash pattern (which are associated with death and deafness) when breeding. Breeding for palominos and cremellos, etc, is one of the reasons the horse industry is in the state it is today, which is SAD. Horses are selling for a mere $25-50 daily. But people would rather have a worse horse with a prettier color. Sorry, but it really irks me off when people ooh and ahh over palominos and crap like that.
LlamaRoper-”But people would rather have a worse horse with a prettier color.”
Who are you to say what is a worse horse?
Maybe its people like YOU that have caused the horse breeding industry to be the way it is.
No wonder these so called ‘worse’ horses sell for less. Its idiotic breed-snobs that have caused that, because its all about having a pure blood horse isn’t it? Even when its used as a family hack.
sheesh.
reminds me of beauty and the beast…
Sarah- by “worse horse” i believe Llama Roper means a horse with poor conformations. sadly, america’s breeding practices are low in there area of standards. people breed for the coat or appearance rather than how the horse should truly be build. it causes many problems in the future of the horse, many that lead to death or abandonment, but more frequently, they are bred again to “upgrade”. most of these conformational faults are hereditary. “worse” horses often sell for many millions of dollars until they break down. the “cheap” horses are the mustangs, which are wonderful companion horses, and the broken down horses which sell in bulk for cheap to the slaughter houses in canada and mexio.
well i know nothing of bad or good breeding but i do know that they do have bad things that are passed down in the blood line but family hacks not a nice expression as these kiddies get attached to them far more than any adult ever would and so i would want a better quality and charecter for my children one who will live to a ripe old age when they are better to cope with it all that beeing said not pure breeds are more hardey to ilness and weathering too me thinks xxxx
