My first pony (which I still own now) is a welsh C, and he's 19, but has lameness problems. =(
His flatwork has gone a little downhill cos I have bought another one but his jumping has gone crazy. :L
Fact: He is calm with everyone else who gets on him, but as soon as I'm on him, he's gone. :L
My new pony is a 5 year old FREISIAN (omfg!) cross, who is quirky and lively, but gets bored easily. I'm planning to jump him but his dressage is out of this world. :L
Your arabian sounds cute. =)
The Lundy Pony is a breed of pony first developed on Lundy Island in England. The breed originated in 1928, when the owner of the island, Martin Coles Harman, introduced 34 New Forest pony mares, eight foals and a Welsh Mountain B strawberry roan stallion. Around 1980, they were moved off the island and to Cornwall on the mainland. In the mid 80's, a breed society was formed and some mares and foals were returned to the island.
I saw a photo of one as a kid and always wanted one. Have never seen a "live" one though. Are these what you were thinking of?
Halter horses.
I want my horse to be healthy, not look pretty.
Grade horses.
I've known many grade horses to be as good as the next one, but unless they excel at something, they have no commercial value. Unfortunately, that often times means they end up in Mexico.
Breeding for color.
I love looking at a stunning palomino as much as the next person, but if all it can do is look pretty, whats the point?
PMU Ranches.
I don't care how many women are benefiting from the hormonal medicines, no horse should have to suffer for their benefit.
it’s almost like a photo

You’re an amazing artist both painting and music wise. keep it up ^ ^

véiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, que difuu
Strains or families are frequently used terms for grouping certain horses according to their various Bedouin breeders. In the desert when individual horses distinguished themselves in battle or performed exceptional feats of speed, courage or endurance, strains or families were developed from them. Certain tribes would focus on their influence, line breeding and inbreeding to them producing special characteristics unique to their family which was given a strain name, such as Kuhaylan, Abayyan, Hamdani, Dahman, etc. The strain name was handed down from the tail female line according to Bedouin custom as they rode only mares in warfare. Great sires were prized for the strain or tail female line that they represented. Although strain names are passed on through the tail female line, care must be given to place certain emphasis on the entire pedigree (all the strains represented) as well as that of the tail female line in order to
correctly perceive an individual or plan a breeding.
The Kuhaylan
In general the Kuhaylan strain is characterized by a more masculine, balanced and symmetrical appearance. They are broad across the chest, back, croup, forearm and gaskin. The forehead is usually flat, if any bulge (jibah) appears it is usually above the eyes. The head is usually wide and short with small, alert ears. The Kuhaylan tend to be of a quieter nature. They have a more forward type of movement which creates a look of flowing lines from head to tail. While the Kuhaylan Ajuz and Kuhaylan Haifi are very similar the more rare Kuhaylan Krush tend to have a more sinuous appearance.
The Kuhaylan strain is represented by three branches: The Kuhaylan Ajuz descending from the Sa'ud mare, *Turfa, The Kuhaylan Haifi descending from the Davenport mare, *Reshan and the Kuhaylan Krush descending from the Davenport mare, *Werdi.
The Hamdani
The Hamdani are considered historically as being Kuhaylan related. Like the Kuhaylan they are more masculine but of a slightly longer frame with a very strong back and more prominent withers coming well out of the back. They are slightly taller having strong bone of quality and substance with large joints. The head of the Hamdani is clean and wedge shaped without a lot of detail or prominence of tear bone and is slightly longer than the Kuhaylan. The hind quarter is somewhat egg-shaped creating the picture of power and speed. The Hamdani are considered the best in endurance and stamina yet with very quiet dispositions. They are most often bay or grey with very little white and they are a favorite strain of the Sa'ud family. The Hamdani strain is incorporated in to our breeding program primarily from the imported Sa'ud pure in the strain Hamdaniyah mares, *Sindidah, *Rudann, *Halwaaji and her daughter, *Amiraa. Also representing the Hamdaniyah strain in our program is the imported Sa'ud mare, *Al Hamdaniyah, and the imported stallion, *Furtha Dhellal,a Hamdani of the Dawasir.
The Abayyan
The Abayyan are more refined than the Kuhaylan and Hamdani and slightly smaller. They are noted for extreme tall carriage and a more lofty type of movement. The head is characterized by a bulging Jibah at the forehead and a fine, tapered muzzle. The Abayyan are longer in the back with a slight saddle-back appearance and high set of the tall. They are very deep in the barrel and forehand with broad forearms and a serpentine like appearance. The shoulders are very prominent with long withers and very clean boned straight legs. The Abayyan are more spirited than the Kuhaylan and Hamdani. They are usually bay,grey or chestnut with white markings more common than in the Hamdani.
The Dahman
The Dahman strain resembles somewhat the Abayyan and Saqlawi (related) strains in elegance but with more of the strength of the Kuhaylan. It is an intermediate blend of the Kuhaylan with the Saqlawi-Abayyan type. The head is short and broad like the Kuhaylan but with more bulge and jibah. They are compact with lines more like the Kuhaylan but with more over all refinement. They are of medium build usually with dry, flatbone.
The Dahman strain is presently represented by only one female line, that of *Sawannah imported from Bahrain in 1954. The line is carried on through her daughter, *Hadriya by the previously mentioned, *Jalam Al Ubayan. This line descends from a Dahmah mare of Sheikh Sulman bin Hamid al Khalifa, ruler of Bahrain. The Al Khalifa family has occupied the island country of Bahrain since 1783 and they were originally from a branch of the Anazah confederation.
Strain breeding is an art, as well as encompassing the science of equine reproduction. Any blend of several strain types may be suitable for various horses under certain conditions. A study of the various original Bedouin strain types is useful for both preserving these types in their own form or for breeding blends for specific preferences.

The first site below describes the evolution of the horse. The second site includes the history of horseback riding./
Whats wrong with a greenie? A green horse sounds like it would be great in your situation because you dont want a baby because you want to be able to ride but you dont want a push button horse. With a greenie, you can carry on with the training thats already been started and you will be able to ride once you get him/her, it will just be training sessions most if not all of the time.
What breeds do I prefer?:
- Thoroughbreds, may be hot tempered and everything but they are versatile with a bold attitude!
- any Warmblood (dutch, danish, oldenburg, etc), beautiful horses with a "can-do" attitude and gaits unlike any other breed.
- quarter pony, I never liked ponies until I worked with quarter ponies, they make awesome eventers/jumpers! They are fearless! built like a pony, quarter horse mind, slight pony attitude
What would i chose?:
Well first, what I wouldnt chose and why:
baby – cant ride/train to ride for a few years
rescue – great horses at the rescue I volunteer at, but many are often mentally unstable because of their past, it takes ALOT of work to regain their trust and turn them around. And sometimes you're risking a lot of work in a horse whos past may come back to haunt you and him.
I would chose either the trained horse or a green horse (even though you dont want a greenie). Not all trained horses are "robot" horses, actually many horses who are trained aren't "robot" horses. I believe the horse you speak of that has been ridden in circles his whole life is a school horse (which is notorious for being ruined). With a trained horse, there is always more to work with on them (unless its a school master, opposite from a school horse, but often turned into a school horse). Take your time looking into a trained horse. Theres many horses out there that are trained but always need more work and touch ups in their training. But, I would still suggest a green horse because you get to experience training first hand but you can ride right away, you're just picking up or occassionally backing up from where the past owner left off, and sometimes the horse has bad habits his past training didnt take care of and you can work on that with him/her. But, if you're absoultely against the greenie idea, go with a trained horse that you can continue to work with, just avoid a school master and a schoolhorse. Lastly, why did you say you might not like him/her? Before you buy a horse you ALWAYS make sure you like him/her, so you dont wind up wasting a huge amount of money that you'll just have to turn around and attempt to sell.
good luck!
HOLY CRAP! Comparing this to the original picture, they’re identical!
