Royal Highland Show 2014 - Part 4 - Pure & Partbred Arabs

I took millions of photos as usual, all of which can be found here. As ever, feel free to take and use as reference, just remember to credit!

----------------------------

While big hairy cobs and fuzzy ponies will always be my favourite, there is just something about a nicely turned out partbred Arab that never fails to impress me.

I really need to recreate those browbands for some of my models...

I think I remember this one from last year - I love that little bit of roaned mapping around the patch on her quarters.

I'm no expert on Arabian showing and call me biased, but I greatly prefer the way they are shown over here to what you often see over the pond, where half the horses seem to be wearing ten foot hair extensions with glitz and glitter everywhere. XD

As gorgeous as this horse is, I can't help feeling that the white girth was a poor choice as it is a bit distracting.

This one was massive! Very dishy head too, although I don't like it as much as...

...this one!

Back to the partbreds!

Oh to be a judge! I'd have thrown all the rosettes in this one's direction - absolutely stunning!

Winners!

I did a bit of photoshop tweaking on this one. :P

Part 5 coming soon!
