What kind of horse is the cavallino?

an expensive one !

 

A Stallion!!!!

 

The prancing horse, stylized from WWI Italian ace Baracca's plane at the request of his family, is such the perfect symbol for Ferrari - ask anyone whose boarded and paid veterinarian bills for one.

"Hey, Wilbur, that car must be mine - it's got my picture on it....."

 

I know what the hell a Stallion is but I thought it was appropriate. Since we have to know the damn specifics I assume an Arabian.

 

Its a fast Fking Stud

 

Anyone ever noticed how far out of proportion that horse's head is with his body? It either has a really big head and neck or a really small torso (or both)

 

Tommy what about the size of his balls? On my logo they are huge, even on my gauges they are huge.

Isn't it Arabian? I thought arabians lift their tail up when troting about..sure this one is kinda standing...oh I don't know....

 

That one looks like he's all meat and no potatoes

 

Wow - talk about a tubi......

 

This, from the Farmers Bulletin, "Breeds of Light Horses," published by the United States Department of Agriculture:

"The Arabian horse, while primarily developed as a saddle horse and ridden by the Arabs at a canter, is easily broken to make a safe although not fast driver. He possesses the general characteristics desired in a saddle horse, viz., good carriage of head and neck; deep, well sloped shoulders, a short back with proportionately long underline; wide and deep quarters; short, strong loin; tail attached high; compactness of middle; and superior quality of underpinning without any tendency to appear leggy."

"A typical Arabian horse has a wedge-shaped head; small nose; dish face; wide, deep jaws; eyes set low, wide apart, and near the middle of the head; a relatively large brain capacity; one less lumbar vertebra than most other horses, giving a short, weight-carrying back; one or two fewer vertebrae in the tail, which is set up on a high croup and gaily carried; ribs sprung wide and deep; large knee, hock, tendon, and hoof; dense bone; small stomach capacity, with small feed requirements and the ability to assimilate rough feed; and a marked prepotency in the stud."

The Cavallino, with its dished face, pretty much fits this description.

LMAO, true true

 

It's certainly NOT a quarter-horse; those are for Mustangs.

 

MarkPDX, as we say in East Tennessee, you ain't right....
