Heh.... They do have a lot of personality don't they!

Do you have pictures of him online? I only have a couple pics of my old stallion around... But there is an album here: Webshots (Links don't work from Webshots) that has one album of "Ancient History - Old horse friends" There are two pics of my stallion there.... pasture pics, I wish I had hung on to show photos. I don't remember throwing them out, they just disapeared in a move. He was an adequate stallion for his time (I am only about 15 in those pictures) who did well at show in his day, back when Saddle Seat Arabs were not all park horses!

I would love to see yours, as long as we are off-topic! I am going to bed soon, but post a link if you have one!

I've been looking for pictures of Aki, and now I remember why I have so few good pictures of him. He's the hardest horse in the world to photograph.

Being very affectionate, he feels that anyone who comes into his field is there to pet him. I back up to get him in the viewfinder, he walks towards me. I keep backing up, he keeps walking forward. I have plenty of pictures of his nose as he sniffs at the camera to see if it's edible. Pictures of the rest of him are hard to come by.

I really need a second person to hold him, and get him into some dignified pose. Dignity is the one think Aki clearly lacks. His personality is more like a Golden Retriever.
