Horse Breed Of The Month - JUNE!
Hey hey heyy......
the horse breed of the month is......
The Friesian!
The Friesian is a horse breed originating in Friesland in the Netherlands. Although the breed's conformation resembles that of a light draft horse, Friesians are graceful and athletic for their size. During the Middle Ages, it is believed that the ancestors of Friesian horses were in great demand as war horses throughout continental Europe. The Friesian is most often recognized by its black
coat colour, though color alone is not its only distinguishing
characteristic. A Friesian horse also has a long, thick mane and tail,
often wavy, and "feathers" which are long, silky hair on the lower legs, purposely left untrimmed. The official breed rarely has white
markings of any kind; most registries only allow a small star on their
forehead for purebred registration. Though extremely rare, and not
accepted for registration in most cases, Friesians are occasionally chestnut in colour. The Friesian's average height is about 15.3 hands (63 inches or 1.60 m), although it may vary from 14.2 to 17 hands (between 58 in./1.5 m and 68 in./1.7 m) tall at the withers.

NOOOOO!!!!!
OMG! I'M SOO STUPID! I forgot to do a birthday celebration on THB's Birthday!!!! How could i forget???? I'm so sorry everyone! I really didn't mean to miss it! Lets just celebrate now shall we?
Well, on May the 10th 2011 a blog was born... Not your average blog, but a blog about the most beautiful things on earth HORSES! I first got the idea for my blog when my friend presented her blog to the class. I was INSPIRED and so i went home after school (obviously) and jumped on the computer, the rest is history. I never thought my blog would be such a hit, and i was beginning to think that i should delete it because i was getting no views. Then that one time i went on my blog and saw the number 1 on my stats i became hopeful. View after view, horse after horse my blog grew more widespread. I was astounded to see that people from other countries were watching my blog progress. I couldn't have made it here without the help and views from you guys and i hope all your horsey dreams come true!
Keep Cantering, Horse Crazy Girl :)

May's Horse breed of the month!
Okay, so I'm going to start horse breed of the month!
It's when there is a particular horse breed each month! so without further ado, i give you May's horse of the month...
THE SHAGYA ARABIAN!
Here's some info!
The Shagya Arabian was developed in the Austro-Hungarian Empire during the 19th century.Today it is usually seen in the Czech Republic, Austria, Romania, the former Yugoslavian countries, Poland, Germany, and Hungary but has been exported to other nations and it is bred around the world.
The Shagya Arabian has similar traits to the asil or purebred Arabian, with high carried tail, sound bone and fantastic endurance.
Shagyas tend to be taller, less refined, and bigger-boned than purebred Arabians; the modern Shagya Arabian is usually at least 15 hands tall and usually 16 hands, whereas a standard Arabian breed ranges from 14.1 to 15.1 hands.
This breed is recognized as a riding horse, and is also driven in harness. It was a hardy cavalry horse and is now popular in sport horse disciplines such as dressage, eventing and endurance riding.

Sorry
Okay, I know what you're thinking. I didn't take off the Easter special! I guess I got caught up in school starting and also my rabbit Stanley passing away :( .
But yes, the Easter special went a little longer than I had planned it to. So I went to change he layout back but I lost the old layout, that is why there is a new one. So, sorry about that! I also made my first You-Tube video which turned out to be really bad, but here it is anyway....
