You don't like how he looks? You must need glasses, how can you say that about the greatest race horse of all time?

There's something about his eyes I don't like... LOL He looks likes a fruit loop, but like I said, that's just my stupid opinion and obviously it holds no merit for how fast he can run.

I think he is a pretty horse. I know what you are saying Cajun. I thought the same thing about his eyes. Just didn't know what it was and I can't put a label on it.

I think the picture she was referring to him about his eyes is where he was focused and looking intently at something, his eyes were wide and he looked surprised, of course me being an Arabian breeder we love that look, it accentuates a lovely face, our magazines are full of stallions snorting and blowing and looking so alive! It's part of their beauty to me. I've never been a walk, trot, stumble kind of Quarter Horse fan, give me the hotbloods anyday!

You should see some of the Quarter Horses hunters/jumpers and dressage horses that I ride. Why, some of them are more hot-headed than some of the Arabs that I've ridden! In fact, the Anglo-Arab mare that I once owned behaved 10 times better than my Quarter Horse does now...LOL! No, I know how rambuctious the halter Arabs can be. I was at a Regional Arab show practicing judging once in Raleigh, NC, and a darn Arab stallion reared up, fell backwards, and rolled over. He was the most correct horse in the class though, and in halter, you know that it doesn't matter if they act up so long as they are still long enough for the judge to get a good look at them. He stood right back up as if nothing had happened and won the class!

I too like those bright burning eyes that Bernardini has. He is a very mature and regal looking horse. His eye reminds me of the Slew's eye. I think that Bernardini epitomizes the "look of eagles". I'm also pretty sure that he is probably a mean and rambuctious horse, but highly intelligent. He sure is beautiful and can run though which is all that matters. Champion screams out at you when you lay eyes upon him.

And that's probably why I don't like the way he looks. I was never big on Arabians. (No offense.) I'm not a QH person either, but nothing beats a horse with wideset liquid eyes. (Kind of like Barbaro.

)

Yeah, I like the face on Barbaro too. My QH yearling that I had to put down had a face like Barbaro. That's the look of the kind of horse you want to have as a show horse. In my experience, horses that have a face like Barbaro's are highly, highly intelligent, very people oriented, and very sweet. My QH yearling was the most intelligent animal that I had every worked. He had such a wonderful, loving, and curious personality. He would come trotting up to you as soon as you went to the gate of the pasture. I didn't think that horses could have those kinds of relationships with people before I got him. He left me too soon

HUH? Now I think he is a nice horse, but the greatest of all time? HUH? Maybe you need glasses or have you just been following racing since the Preakness? Don't dub him that yet. Let him prove it first.

I'm not going to be so silly as to call him the greatest racehorse of all time, but his looks are quite frankly flawless, the horse moves and looks like a painting, a very fine one at that!
