This horse I met today

[Malakai10]

I just felt that I absolutely had to tell you all about this horse I met today, unfortunately, I don't have any pictures but I'll try to get some at some point.

So, I went riding today and the stable-yard owner has rescued a new OTTB gelding. He is the most gorgeous horse I have ever laid eyes upon. He had this very fine, black coat (slightly tinted brown) with a bright white blaze and three stockings (one front left (I think) and two back) which were slightly yellow from dirt but still an absolutely exquisite appearance. He had this very elegant and noble head and a light, lean body*. He's basically what I imagine a medieval courser of a very high-class nobility would look like.

So, yeah, I just really had to tell you about this gorgeous horse and I'll try to get pictures because everyone deserves to be able to set eyes upon such beauty.

* he's not going to be lean for long, though - my SYO does not like lean horses - he'll be healthily round very soon, let me promise you! But not fat. To put into perspective how my SYO likes the horse's weight: my thoroughbred was mistaken for a warmblood because he was so muscular and all around Not Thin.

** also, this poor baby is very nervous so an acquaintance of mine is playing with him and desensitizing him and I hope the poor dear gets his confidence back soon but I'm sure he will because my SYO is a very sensible lady who Knows Horses

*** interesting fact, my SYO has had like, one case of colic in all of the horses boarded there since she moved her there (which I think is two decades? If not more) and I am Very Impressed

**** but I'll get picture when/if I can

EDIT



This picture is from when he was much younger. I'm not sure if I just couldn't properly see his markings when I first saw him or if his leg markings just got bigger as he aged as those are clearly socks! Pictures don't do this horse justice.

Also, get this: the racing people whop owned him before wanted to put him down because 'he's impossible to control' and 'dangerous'. He is such a sweet horse. Clearly, they don't know how to handle horses because he is such a brave and clever sweetheart.

He had this very fine, black coat (slightly tinted brown) with a bright white blaze and three stockings (one front left (I think) and two back) which were slightly yellow from dirt but still an absolutely exquisite appearance.

He sounds stunning! A few years ago I had a retired seal brown TB from a nearby racetrack, his name was Moses (Amos Moses was his racing name).He was the sweetest thing! He was also really tall, about 17 hands! I was really young, so my dad had to help me mount him

That just makes me think of the time my mum gave me a leg up onto Malakai... and vaulted me right over him. I was very grumpy, covered in sand and without even an injury to show for it!

That happened to me too many times! I feel your pain, you can’t even brag or show someone your “battle scar” from the incident.

Sounds nice!

I'm sort of able to picture the horse in my head. Sounds, and looks like from what I can picture, really awesome! Let me know when you get a photo to show!

Yeah, it's better to see in person than to see it in picture but even then, he looks awesome! Yeah, who on earth would want to put down such a beautiful horse?

[AHorseandPonyLover]
