As promised and especially for Kallen, Kelly & Jan here are more images of the Konik Horses that are used as a 'natural' method to manage a number of Nature Reserves throughout the UK.
Wow!!! Those are fabulous portraits. I love horses, and these ponies are beautiful. I especially love the second photo and the profile shot. Thank you!
They really are such lovely horses. The RSPB reserve at Minsmere also have some and I've seen them there, but didn't know they were at Oare Marshes too. Wonderful!
Thanks Kelly. Unplanned change but the picture seemed appropriate to herald that Spring is on its way. In the last week bird song has increased dramatically & now we wait for our early migrants to arrive.
Hi Rachel. The Konik originates from Poland and many display the characteristics and primative markings of the extinct Tarpan; the dun coat and dorsal stripe. Thanks for your visit.
Frank they are just beautiful, such lovely photos. I have to admit I had never heard of Konik Horses, it's amazing what you learn on the internet!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful horses. They are all so majestic looking!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what it is that draws us to horses. There's a connection and yet a sensed wildness in them. These are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of these horses - they just seem so regal and wild at the same time!

ReplyDeleteThese horses are wonderful and they remind me a bit of the Icelandic horses in their attitude...
ReplyDeleteWild and free.... beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone & thanks for the comments - Glad you liked the Konik's, (translates as 'Litte Horse') & they are surely nature in its purest form. Frank
ReplyDeleteYes those horses are great Frank and I do like your header.
ReplyDeleteThanks Roy. I thought it was time for a change from the 'frosty' Thrush!
ReplyDelete...like the new banner at top. That is a beautiful bird.

I think that is an excellent choice Leedra.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful ponies. They remind me of the Connemara ponies that I've trained from Ireland. I wonder if they are long lost cousins.
