Friesian Horse Scam

Heads Up Buyers – The person who placed the ad is a proven scammer & similar ads have been found for the same animal under different names. The ad I’ve left up for reference & discussion because the scam ads tend use the same descriptions & photos. The people who asked me to place this ad are in no way affiliated with The Equinest, I’ve removed any contact info for them & urge everyone to read the comments for more information.

If you are interested in adopting an animal for minimal cost, why not check out a rescue or two?

ebonyRecently I was contacted by a horse owner who has an unfortunate situation and needs to find a good home for his Friesian gelding. He is offering Ebony free to a good home with the assurance the animal will be well cared for.

Something a little different this week. I thought I’d show a whole new perspective of the horse world that we are all familiar with but perhaps none of us take the time to fully appreciate.

Professional Irritators

You all know them, they stick wherever they land, they are flies. Ok, maybe these images won’t make you like flies, but they may give you an appreciation for their diversity.

The Horses of Peter Paul Rubens

A Flemish Baroque painter, Peter Paul Rubens was a major player when it comes to Baroque style art. His work is bold and lively while giving the viewer a feeling of color and movement.

Tokens Appearances

Although he didn’t seem to find the horse a particularly moving subject, they do make an appearance in a selection of his art.

A Level Above

His deep understanding of perspective and the ability to convey overwhelming emotion with his art make Mr. Rubens a master no matter what he paints.

Men Love Horses Too

Man and Horse

Image from Flintlocker

Despite the fact that horses have been carrying men into battle for thousands of years, the love of the equine animal is largely a female passion.

Big Softies

The romantic vision of a cowboy and his mount aside, we don’t see as many men in the modern horse world. But I think that when no one is looking most men find that they have a weakness for horses too. I even found some pictures to prove it.
