Horses are so beautiful for many reasons but I just love a horse’s eyes. They have so much expression in them and the big eyelashes look so pretty. I love Icelandic horses in particular because they are just so dang cute. I always want to hug them and fortunately they don’t seem to mind.
All horses are huge and fast and watching one run is beauty in motion. You can see the powerful muscles rippling and at times it seems like the feet don’t touch the ground at all.
I got fascinated with horses when I was very young because I though they were the most beautiful animals in the world. And I still do.
Beauty, of course, is a subjective measurement. So what looks beautiful to one person may not to another.
But I haven’t ever met a person who doesn’t consider horses to be beautiful. Not one, in more than 50 years, in any of the countries I have visited or lived in.
I think it’s because they are a perfect combination of form and function. Their way of living — as grazing flight animals with fight capabilities, who live in family groups called herds and communicate through many means — perfectly suits their bodies, and their bodies are perfectly suited to their lives.
Their eyes are large — to watch for predators and to communicate — and their ears are large and mobile, also to keep them safe. Nostrils, too, have a shape and a mobility that draw the eye to their tenderness. They have few facial muscles but with them they can produce myriad expressions. Their legs are long and slender, all bone and sinew under the knee, and their bodies flow like water from poll to croup. Mane, forelock, feathers and tail, created for protection from flies and heat and cold, outline the horse’s shape and look like floating fire in a low sun.
Humans have helped this along by breeding for specific characteristics, but in most cases — there are some awful exceptions — the breeding is intended to enhance the very features that nature has evolved for the horse’s survival.
I also believe that there is something ineffable, something of the spirit, that led horses and humans to working partnerships and not just a predator-prey relationship such as humans have with most other grazing animals.
