I'm not the biggest Arab fan in the world as I like my horses with more bone and hair, but I really like seeing them at the RHS. Part of the reasoning for that is that they look like actual practical horses, unlike the oiled up and blinged out showhorses you tend to see in America especially, with loads of mane and tail extensions floating about.
This was the Ridden Arabian class, and yes, I know that they aren't actually riding them in most of these photos but they were being trotted up for the judge.
I thought I recognised a grey from a couple of years ago, but I wasn't sure, as if it was, it had greyed out considerably, but I've just checked and it has the wrong socks on the wrong legs so its definitely not the same one! The way it stood was really similar though.
'I love my human!'
I wonder which one has tail extensions? XD
Next up, Anglo-Arab and Partbred Arab!
Tail Extensions? Really? I didn't know that they did that! :O

Yup! Sometimes its more practical, if your horse has a naturally short tail or lost it in an accident or something, but its more often seen in the show ring, though not so much over here I don't think.
