Jamr, yesterday
Jamr, despite being small, is magnificent. In fact, he does not look small at all when moving.
Yesterday, I also took these photos of him walking in hand. He is short [13.3 and a half], I am tall [6 feet], so that makes for titled photos where his legs look shorter and his body bigger.
I wish I had taken some video too, as he was moving in a way very reminiscent of the 1920s Crabbet stallions in this British Pathe short film, one hundred years later.
Wow, he is lovely. I would love to see him in an endurance or even dressage home someday, if the opportunity came to pass. I wonder if us US people could start networking interest for that…
Why not, but he is not leaving the farm. He is just too precious. His planned offspring will go to endurance homes.
I suspect he “rides like a bigger horse” too. I enjoyed having the opportunity to meet him earlier this month – I think he’s got a lovely brain on top of that body.
What a tank he is. He really appeals to me. Can see what you mean about the Crabbet movement, even in the stills.
His movements are so flowing, and he is so round, and his daughter Bassma even more so. She has great, flowing action.
He is an amazing,spectacular stallion!!!
