it does actually. Probably because he (or she) needs a shave. Great photo falstaff.

Edit: He has Sinatra's eyes too. D'you reckon he came back as a horse?

ha ha..
this character is only two years old and spoiled rotten
the pic I posted "sniffing for a handout is the same horse, let me post another pic.
The horse is pissed actually, he is in close proximity to some fillies.

i was gonna say, looks like he wants somethin real bad and cant have it!

Falstaff · Jul 25, 2008, 03:44 AM

yeah, he is a stinker, and one of the biggest horses in the stable. He is too young for stud but he gets around. the Saudi fellow that owns him has given him a name and he wears it on his bridle, but I wanted a shot of him just relaxing in his box. Most of the time they actaully just enjoy themselves doing exercise all day long.

Jeff, do you by any chance have any horses of your own??? A family friend of ours here in Saskatoon is a legendary horse breeder and he breeds horses and sells them all across Canada right up to the east coast, was at his stables the other day and his operation is still going well, just that now he's really elderly and soon won't be able to take on all the responsibilities you need to as a horse trainer, saw his best stock the other day, 80 years of breeding he said and they were real beauties. He's got a girl he's training as well and she's so lucky, she's going to be a legendary horse breeder one day too by the looks of it. Myself, I'd love to have one but then I'd have to move out into the country or have a place to keep it and that could be expensive for how much a young guy like me would ride her/him.

Edit: best stock, I don't know if they were thoroughbreds lol

nice pic looks like hes been going at it all night.!!!

thanx guys, but I dont know anything about horse flesh save what I have learned from my grandfather and Mr. Britain at his stable. I didnt realize there are so many variations of breeds, etc. My grandfather always liked a tall horse, like a Morgan, etc. I am partial to arabians. The racing thoroughbred is fascinating. There is an Irish fellow that will show me around the place for a pint or two and I relish the oppurtunity to see the animals exercising and enjoying themselves.

im certainly no horse expert but he looks damn healthy, is he a TB?

Falstaff · Jul 26, 2008, 10:02 AM

yes, I am told of American stock that was imported from Canada I think.
