What is your favorite breed of horse? 🐴🐎🐴

*pulls out Barbie Land version of PowerPoint*

I don’t have a favorite. I have a list. But I’ll give you my top three! Because that’s way better!

1. Appaloosa - This breed is gorgeous and I love all the different colors and patterns. Also they’re very gentle, loyal, friendly, intelligent, and hard workers. Really great breed for beginner riders. Also they have striped hooves which is like a rare thing for horses. The stripes resemble zebra stripes!

2. Thoroughbred - One of the most popular breeds, thoroughbreds are most known for all the races, but they are really good for other jobs too. They’re friendly, brave, and very adaptable. And they look like really regal and noble. Like a king should ride this horse.

3. Haflinger - Also known as the Avelignese, are on the smaller side when it comes to horses but still pretty impressive. They’re energetic, smooth, muscular, and elegant. Basically me if I was a horse! Even our hair matches!

Interestingly, Haflingers/ Avelignese horses being Always And Forever Flaxen Chestnut is a recent thing! As recently as the 1920s and 30s there were multiple brown, black, palamino, dun, and roan Haflingers in the studbook. Which does make sense tbh as the Noriker horse is really closely related. Chestnuts (whether flaxen or not) were already generally favoured though, since, as is often the case, one very popular half-Arab stallion (Folie) was used an awful lot (to the point where some studbooks consider him as The First Haflinger).

for the horse asks: appaloosa?

Appaloosa - What's your favorite horse color(s)?

I don’t really have one but I LOVE when horses and ponies are what they’re supposed to be!

I’m also a huge fan of the primitive markings, and general Lascaux cave horse appearance.

So like I wouldn’t say flaxen chestnut is my favorite AT ALL, but the Haflinger!! . yes you are a cobby little horse with a big butt that needs to be a flaxen chestnut!! and everyone understands this. Perfect animal. No need to track changes. Also I do love when a horse has a bit of texture in their mane and tail, so respect to Haflingers for being the rare wavy-haired horsie. I don’t even like blondes so you see what I mean here about it just being the pure synergy of intention and form and style, the Haflinger just is perfectly complete.

And then a brunblakk fjord horse. The mealy muzzle. The dorsal stripe. Black ear tips. Someone from 20,000 years ago is grasping my hand across space and time and we are crying together about how perfect a thick little horsie can get. Granted the fjords always have the weirdest haircuts in the world, but you can see exactly why. This horse is so perfectly what it’s supposed to be that you can’t resist scrungling it a little bit. Also another animal that IS its name like: all Norwegian Fjords LOOK like the breed name is Norwegian Fjord, and they ARE all named things like Freya. As they should be. This is an animal that is exactly what it should be.

You know how horse people compliment each other’s horses by saying they have a kind eye? It’s hard not to have a Kind Eye if you are a brunblakk Norwegian Fjord.

And of course, my baby, my darling, my moorland mousie, the feral shaggy brown/bay with mealy markings that is the Exmoor Pony. You look at this tubby beastie and you say YES. YES YOU ARE BORN TO BE A LITTLE BEASTIE ENCOUNTERED SUDDENLY ON A MISTY MOOR . The sculpting of the contour colours! Some sculpture artist would spend hours with an airbrush trying to do that! and they just wake up in the morning , eyeliner: on, eyeshadow: on, lipstick: on, cheeks: contoured, muzzle: mealy, dapples subtle, ready to go. Can’t even see their eyes half the time, but underneath 25 pounds of luscious pelted mane they’re wearing natural mascara. And for what? Living full time on rocks in the rain, baby!! This is a cave painting horse and it always will be!

The reverse of that of course is horses who Shouldn’t Be That Color. For example I am a little bit upset by this chestnut Shire, who isn’t a flaxen chestnut and probably should be. What are you doing baby? You need some leg markings sweetheart. Can we just dye your mane and tail black maybe, you have bay energy. Ughhhhh I’m trying not to be prescriptive. Ughhhh all horses are beautiful and beauty standards are fake but ———— - sweet child we HAVE to style you somehow!!!! You are a Shire!!!!! WHAT IS THIS??

And I love - LOVE! - a grulla/grullo. Obvious reasons: I like primitive markings, and I have the aesthetic taste of a small child. Who doesn’t secretly love a deviantart sparklehorse?

but I will be the first to admit that it is a razor’s edge between a really lovely grulla horse who reaches back to touch our shared history and knowledge of ourselves, an unbroken thread of beauty that should be painted in a cave under an ancient mountain, like a jewel of the earth: and a necromantic vessel that was bred to encourage possession by evil ghosts, to be harvested regularly and sold at retail prices by some midwestern white woman as part of some tortuous work-from-home scheme. And I do understand this. I know this about myself and about grullas. Like, this one is a horse that probably shouldn’t - we probably shouldn’t have done this. You know?

Do not ask about cremellos.

I'm 100% here for this horse - pony discourse. I don't ride anymore (bad fall from a pony, of course it was a pony) but I have some thoughts, cause I'm small so I always rode the ponies or haflinger(avelignese?) and it is STRESSFUL. whenever I dealt with normal horses I was waiting for them to be feral, I was waiting for smth to happen but nothing. just big scaredy babies. ponies have twice the amount of attitude for their size. as a short person that's very relatable ALKSJD

oh yeah, as a short pro rider i break in and school a lot of ponies, and they’re generally easier to break in but they’re often badly trained (a la dogs, where the big ones are generally much better trained than the little ones because big dogs are seen as intrinsically more dangerous, even though a chihuahua is ten times more likely to take your hand off than a bix mixed breed mutt), so taking ponies to school them is like russian roulette except only one of the chambers is empty

sidenote: you’d think coming off a pony would hurt less because they’re close to the ground? but you’d be wrong.

8 legs 2 touches by Claude@Munich Via Flickr: Sandra and Nino in motion. There are some more photos of this beautiful Mom and her son in my photostream! The Haflinger, also known as the Avelignese, is a breed of horse developed in Austria and northern Italy during the late 1800s. There are several theories as to this breed's origin, but its current conformation and appearance are the result of infusions of Arabian and various European breeds' blood into the original native Tyrolean ponies. Haflinger horses are relatively small, are always chestnut in color, and have distinctive gaits described as energetic but smooth. The breed is well-muscled, but with an elegant appearance. Haflingers have many uses, including light draft and harness work as well as various under-saddle disciplines such as endurance riding, dressage, equestrian vaulting and therapeutic riding programs.

Avelignese Horse

Can anyone clarify if this is the same breed or a different breed from the Haflinger? Wikepedia says they are the same, but that is not the most reliable source, and my encyclopedia of horse breeds lists them as different, with the Avelignese being the ancestor of the Haflinger.

Searching them separately, the photos that come up for the Avelignese show horses that look slightly heavier than the photos of horses that come up for the Haflinger. However, in Italy I learned that Haflingers that have Arabian influence have a separate registry and brand than those that do not, and I'm wondering if the "purer" Haflingers without the Arabian ancestry are the Avelignese.
