  1. Go arabians! People say that they are so hot blooded & wild, but theyre not. The arabians at my barn are not tempermental at all, & they are the sweetest & gentlest horses at the barn! Theyre both lesson horses too, & theyre SO good you could put a 3 year old on their backs & they wouldnt move until he was ready. I love them so much! 🙂

  2. This looks like soooo much fun! But I wish it wasnt so far away! Do they really put vaseline on their faces? I dont see the point in that since they’re alreay so elegant and beautiful without shiny faces.
