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.

Can I have one, please?There are lots of beautiful horses out there, Frank.
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.I had no idea there are such horses.
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

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.
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).I haven't seen the movie. These horses are really wonderful.
Aw! It kisses him back!
That is awesome!
That is awesome!
Hello, gorgeous!
