I found this post fascinating! They look so handsome standing there in the snow, too.<br />I wonder if neck length has anything to do with it, too? Baby Doll's neck was so long and, even though she carried her head like a WP horse, when I would take photos from her back, her ears were always in the picture.<br />Now with Rosie, I have to hold the camera down lower to get her ears in the photo, and she actually carries her head a little higher than Baby Doll did. Of course she's just a shorter horse, about 14.3, but it's still not easy getting up on her back yet. lol!<br /><br />I don't know who I hauled my butt up on top of Baby Doll's 15.3 back.<br /><br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071043294700974116.post-88195643169015757332010-01-29T23:35:24.314-06:002010-01-29T23:35:24.314-06:00I wonder how Voodoo would compare to Casey.

Friends of ours have a <i>huge</i> Quarter Horse gelding that's marked very similarly to Sunny. Loading them in the trailer last fall we had a good chuckle over the fact that Sunny is not only considerably shorter than Buddy in height, he's also a good foot shorter in length. Swapping horses is a truly interesting experience!SunnySDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07591623033468632399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071043294700974116.post-9660700684899640102010-01-28T20:39:28.683-06:002010-01-28T20:39:28.683-06:00Interesting --- it is true that how they hold thei...Interesting --- it is true that how they hold their heads can make them look either small or or larger. John's mare, Zora, often walks along in the pasture with her head hanging down. But when we ride and she has her head upright, she is definitely more impressive looking.John and Regina Zdravichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03750649450237309246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071043294700974116.post-70412794327957619142010-01-28T18:13:15.932-06:002010-01-28T18:13:15.932-06:00Excellent post!

And you're right, a lot of it has to do with the way the neck is connected to the body and how they carry themselves. <br /><br />Handsome MIB there!Leah Fryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18158981037468411293noreply@blogger.com
