re: Good Morning Thread *Im Glad Its Friday Edition*

wtf is horse painting? is it similar to the face painting booths you see at fairs, cept for horses?

hey fes, i was just thinking of some things that your gf and aspy don't have in common.

my 1st thought was that aspy doesn't have those big ole arse scary bulging eyeballs like your begf does...lol

why is that dress color thread getting so much play? i guess darth must have posted his color guess.

Hey Aspy.

I saw a show on BBC last week that made me think of you. It was about this 70-year old lady that went on a search for a pure Appaloosa horse on the steppes of Russia. Pretty incredible story.


Looking for a link...


ETA:

Here ya go. No longer available streaming but I bet you could order the DVD or something. Really great programme (<---UK spelling).

An app in Russia? I thought they were an American breed. I'm going to have to look in this. You learn something new every day.

I don't want to give it away... but it made me tear up. AWESOME show.


ETA:

I'll spoil it for you if you want.

BBC History Article about the show

Facebook page for the program getting picked up by stateside film festival(s).

It's pretty amazing. They go over a 12K foot pass on horseback... Took them 2+ days each way... to get to this one valley that was so remote that it was basically an island. That trip resulted in DOUBLING the count of "pure" appaloosas in the world to roughly 200. The republic of Kyrgyzstan has dedicated itself to keeping the breed pure now and considers it a mission of national pride.

Yeah, I could not have done that. Heights are not my friend

Pretty cool to learn where they come from.


Thanks berg
