Here's one of my favorite dressage horses. Blue Hors Matinee. She is a Danish mare who was 9 when this video was made. I love to watch dressage, and teach some of the basic manuevers to my horses. I actually taught a horse to do canter pirouettes once. Not as pretty as this mare, but she DID do them...
You'll have to have a little patience with me on this one, but it is worth it. My sister-in-law is Swedish, and she sent me this link that is in, of course, Swedish.
What the article said was: "This is how a horse is made - see the fantastic pictures." They are photos of embryonic horses at days 10, 30, 65, and 85. I love the day 85 picture. I have pictures of one of my '08 foals lying almost exactly like that when she was about 6 hours old.
Equine leg gear does a lot more than just make your horse look good. The right boots can help your horse stay sound and at the top of his game. Some boots offer support, like an athlete taping his ankles before a big game. Other boots offer protection. Think football pads here. And some are designed for specific events and maneuvers. Knowing which boots you need is not always easy, so here's a crash course in leg gear for you.
