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.
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 :)
