OMG! I can't stop looking at Austin!This is Austin, the famous dappled Gypsy Vanner. I follow him on FB.
The dapples are seasonal. They only REALLY show during part of the year.
Here's a shot of those famous dapples.
This one is very unusal!Black Leopard Noriker
There are lots of beautiful horses out there, Frank.

A blue roan. I'd love to find a horse this color! 
Not a true horse- Daughter used to have one back in the mid 1970's. Shetland Pony
Wow! I've never seen a horse with markings like this before! Thanks for the picBlack Leopard Noriker
Aren't they gorgeous? I've been smitten with horses my whole life. They're such wondrous creatures, so magnificent. And they allow us to sit on them and carry us. Some, sadly, are "broken" and forced, but more and more, the relationship is mutual.
Ever seen the Horse Whisperer with Robert Redford? That's based on a real guy, Buck Branaman. A true horseman, he does clinics to teach people how to handle horses. Not to break them, but to learn to cooperate with them. He can have a wild horse tap-dancing to Jazz inside a day. The troubled horse they show him working with in this clip warms up to him in 15 minutes.
I haven't seen the movie. These horses are really wonderful.Wow! I've never seen a horse with markings like this before! Thanks for the pic

I like the parts of the movie that deal with the characters' relationship to their horses. They threw in an obligatory romance that I fast-forward through. It adds nothing to the movie. This clip shows what a wonder he is to see working with them. I'd LOVE to see one of his clinics one day. And I don't even have a horse (yet).
It's a hope of mine to invite him to add me to his yearly schedule if and when I get my farm, and have it running. It would be his only clinic in the state, if I ever put that together.
I know. It'll never happen. But when you give up your dreams, you die. And horses are mine.

Aw! It kisses him back!
In my room I have 2 huge posters that I had made of 2 very beautiful horses.
This is the same hore, but this isn't the photo I had blown up into a poster. I can't find the picture of the Gypsy Vanner that I used.

The amazing Austin in action. Just look at that magnificent tail, mane and four white socks.
While it is a masterpiece of nature, I'd have to tie that tail up so that it doesn't drag and catch all that dirt.
