Me ! ! !

:wub: Regardless that connemare is beautiful...as is everyone elses' horses (of course, I've never met a ugly horse though lol).

Buckskin: a palomino-colored horse (tan or gold) with black points.

Dun: a horse of any color with charactoristics such as a dorsal stripe, transversal stripe, and striped legs.

Palomino: a horse the color of a "new gold coin" with white points. White legs are not necissary, but usually wanted. Palominos are a color, not a breed. Palominos can only be born by breeding two palominos, and even then, only 1/2 of the foals will turn out palominos. Many breeds do not allow palominos to be registered, such as arabians and thoroughbreds, and are therefore classified as chestnuts.

Well what's dun is dun! I am greatly saddened to read of all you guys losing your horses at such young ages and injuries. Cindy lived over 30 and could in theory still be alive, as I have not heard back but she was fine 5 years ago, obviously retired though. Silence (the pony on the previous page), died aged 25. Sophia - the connemara at the top of the page is still only about 13, and is currently, from what I gather from my cousin, who she is currently with, winning most english competitions, limited by the rider I suspect. Irish horses are the best in the world :D
 
Lovely horses everyone. Im ashamed to say i have never been on a horse but i would love too some day. They aren't really that common where i come from in Dublin, And as William said we Irish breed the best in the world :D (roll on Cheltenham) Thanks for sharing your pictures.
 
OMG I am so surprised I did not see this thread earlier!

I could look at those horse pics all day long!!!
Unfortunately I am have such bad hay fever I can not even get more than 3 ft from a horse :-( .
