Beautiful horses. Straight profiles. Very interesting to see. Thank yo.
i find it interesting that the dish has become such a pronounced feature..when i believe actually in historical paintings and patient observations -the arabian in movement gives the appearance of a dish when the nostrils are’flared’…giving the impression of dishyness. a simple misunderstanding has given way to extreme fashion of the extreme dish face.
Obviously, there were some with “dishes.” For example, the Davenport import, *Abeyah. But there are also horses with pronounced jibbah (although the placement might vary). That, combined with the large jowl and smaller and more flexible muzzle, gives an overall appearance of a dish. What is being done fashionable now is grotesque.
Old descriptions of Arab horses with smaller heads, level croups, etc., were always in comparison to the hot blooded horses the writers were familiar with. It wasn’t a competition to make the croup tip up or to find the smallest head.
