Bushra, Ju’aytiniyah mare of old Tahawi bloodlines
Power and grace in motion at 25 years young. I have a sense this will become a beloved picture.

What a mare!!;
The reach of that hind leg is impressive!
So she, at age 25!, still appears to have pristine hocks Cradle country Asils rule.

Well paint me jealous!! She really doesn’t look 25 in this photo.
She is TWENTY-FIVE? Cripes, what a lovely mare.
As an aside – what is the inscription on the wall / what does it say?
“Bi dhikri Allahi tatma’innu al-qulub”; “Hearts find solace in the mention of God’s name”
Since Bushra moved to my place eleven years ago I noticed some unique qualities that I never experienced with other horses before. She has extremely flexible skeleton. She can make very sharp maneuvering and use her joints beyond the usual limits. I cannot forget how she once almost crawled under a fence, or how her body was nearly a zigzag shape while swiftly moving between some woods. She was still quite young at that time. Now at nearly 25 she still amazes everybody who sees her.
What a beautiful mare
