My childhood drawings of horses were purple. And indicated an immediate need for grazing muzzles.

I am laughing hysterically! Mine all had Fjord manes and bad conformation.

LOL!
Well my early drawings looked more like wild boars, really. But I improved a bit over the years!

Look for “A Horse Called Doodlebug”. It might have been “Named” instead of called, but Doodlebug was too small for the girl to ride. She was heartbroken when Dad made a little cart for Doodlebug.

My dream horse was always black with a stark white mane and tail. And he was really, really fast! Not sure where I thought I was going, but I was gonna get there in a hurry!

Oh yes fast, and no need for a saddle or bridle. We had perfect sync and thought alike, always

Oh yes. I find myself trying to gently squelch the beliefs of my adult beginner and returning rider friends that riding with no headgear is somehow the epitome of equestrian sophistication.
Now riding on the buckle from seat aids is a worthy goal, but if you can’t figure that out you won’t be galloping down a beach on a naked horse.

My neighbor has the most beautiful little miniature horse gelding that is pitch black with a white mane and tail and not that much white splotches on his body. The tobiano gene in all it’s glory. He looks like my 8 year old vision of a my little pony.

Will do! Next time he’s turned out adjacent to my pasture I will snap a pic of the lovely little boy.

I mean, I DRIVE and I don’t want a Friesan, mostly because they always look they’re about to vertically launch, and I’d rather have forward momentum when the legs start moving. (I guess if I did want a Friesan I’d spring for the patented FeatherlessFriesan ™, because I don’t have time for my own hair, let alone a dependant animal’s.)

I remember a story about a girl who gets a shetland who was too small to ride and she trained him to a cart and cleaned up at shows. His name was Merry Christmas since was born on christmas day.

I misread this, “You won’t be galloping down a beach naked on a horse.” Friday brain!

Uh yeah right??! I don’t get the fascination, I have been asked about riding naked and it’s like, bro, I do not want hair all up in my coochie wah wah, mkay? Like really? Not to mention the chaffing and prickly heat on your buttcrack? Men are dumb. Some women are too.

Also, I can tell you my mare would be SO OFFENDED if I did that. And embarrassed for me.

We were out riding one day and came across a group of young men hanging out on rocks in a creek. Not splashing or shouting. My usually calm mare was quite spooky and alarmed. I realized she’d never seen so much naked human skin and wasn’t sure these were just people. I don’t know what she’d do if she saw me naked. Her eyes about popped out the first time she saw me pee.

IME horses are fascinated by human toes. I guess they don’t see toes really often.
