There is an Estonian native breed one that retains many physical characteristics of the native northern horse. This particular breed has had little influence through the blood of other breeds.
This animal is also known for their kind disposition and robust frame – a stark contrast from the high strung light breeds of their neighboring Russia like the Akhal-Teke.

Where I am
I live in the Fancy Hill area of Natural Bridge Va.
Tell us a little about you, what is your background & where do you come from?
I come from Augusta Co. Va. near Waynesboro, just up the road from where I live now. I was born in the country and loved horses ever since. Got my first pony at age 8 and have had horses most of my life, to just trail ride.

Horse and riding equipment is expensive and its important to do some research before investing in new items.
Riders Recommended has a solution to help with the research. It is a clever site that allows horse people to recommend products that have performed well for them.
It’s not a site filled with advertisers trying to promote their own products, the recommends are all from bona fide equestrians.

I thought this video was kind of fun and who doesn’t enjoy a nice English accent voice over? It may only be useful for those who intend to be circus clowns (don’t do it), but it could be a handy party trick.
The instructions are simple and look easy enough to follow and the demonstrator is full of enthusiasm. Enjoy.
