Equine

He melts my heart
as l watch his Dressage
his graceful presence true
of intelligence, faithful,  beautiful

He was once a warhorse
of medieval times
but now a gentle giant
where personality shines

He's a Horse for Kings
with flowing mane and tail
in the Battle of Mohacs
no courage fail

The Black Beauty knew
past Knights rode proud
his sheer beauty grew

Friesian Horse
........................so beautiful

Are you a horse lover? We watch Heartland and the horses are amazing. Never heard of a Friesian horse though. You're always teaching me something new. Google

Yes. l bought a massive oil canvas to paint myself black Friesian Horses galloping through snow , but too ill . So i'm asking my son in law (his mom has horses ) who's also an Artist to paint it for me, as a commission. He's a animal portrait painter.
