lol @ not riding the head, true! i remember a horse a few years ago in grand prix. can't remember his name, or even who rode him, the horses nickname was jughead. it was like they took a warmblood and transplanted a draft horse head onto him. i tell ya, people were fitting that guy for a paper bag to wear!! but man oh man, that horse could jump.
the fact that palomino breeders sought color was almost their undoing, no one worried about the looks...yeah, shiny as a new coin, but ugly!! thankfully that's been turned around for the most part....
the most beautiful horse imo is the arabian. far and away!

LOL! I'm with ya there, I have a rather ugly-headed Walking horse filly, but let me tell you the view from her back is pure heaven, as smooth as silk! Breeding for color has hurt a lot of breeds, a few years ago the black Arabians were all the rage, unfortunately the majority were just plain UGLY, it's a lot better now. I bred my black Saddle horse to a black Arabian that gave me goosebumps, he was THAT gorgeous, I knew if I died on the spot I would have died having seen the most beautiful horse in the world! The resultant foal is now a 5 year old mare and in 30 years of breeding is the most beautiful horse I have ever bred, she is currently leased to a Dressage trainer and competing in Sporthorse classes, no money could buy her from me, next spring she goes to a black Magnum Psyche son for an incredibly exciting foal!
