What do I think of when I think of the horses of Morocco are the Arabian horses, a breed quite different than any other. To me they have a different relationship to humans than any other breed I have come in contact with. They have become legends of the desert and are known for their speed, endurance, intelligence and their spirit… Their is a mysterious flair around them, a beautiful elegance and endearing quality of a very fine and noble heritage. What can I say? I love them.
But then less known but equally as powerful and spirited is the Barb horse who actually is the origin and ancestor of the American Quarter Horse, just less well known. They are very very beautiful horses and still are untouched from the certain breeding standards that we here in America have that might look pretty in some eyes but might not be all that functional.
They were the horses that carried the worriors into battle and reflect the proud Moroccon people….
…… Enjoy your day as the journey continues…..
Much love
