      I so wished I could afford one of your canvases for a center piece in my living room, but as a cancer warrior, I have to many medical bills to be able to afford the 27 × 32 of that stallion. It's the most beautiful painting I've ever laid my eyes on.
      Great work 👏.

    Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful Shire horseshoe! I remember when you bought Apollo & he came to you in such poor shape. But, you stuck by him with a good feeding program did mild exercise to start, got him vet checked and after a year he started going to horse shows and eventually started winning! I trust he is doing well. Thank you for rescuing him and God bless...........

    Is it an optical illusion that when the legs aren't feathered in white they don't seem as fluffy? And I agree, I like Apollo the best. His history makes him very special too.

    @gailnarum4700 Před rokem +3

    I realize they do not dock the tails, but the tailbone still seems short. I wonder if it is kind of an optical illusion because of their huge haunches and great height. What a wonderful show. I am somewhat surprised at the number of horses. And these are only Shires! Draft breeds in the UK must be thriving. It seems as though drafts are gaining in popularity.

    • @apollotheshire
      @apollotheshire  Před rokem +2

      The tail looks strange when it is shaved for sure! I do think the awareness and popularity of the breed has increased. I’m biased but I think they are amazing! 😊

    @jenniferlehman326 Před rokem +1

    If you notice not one tail is docked.!! They've discontinued that practice. Deeming it cruel. So now they just braid up the tails, even when doing any type of harness work at all. They've done the same for ALL Draught (draft) breeds. Best Regards from a Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 🇨🇦🇺🇲

    • @apollotheshire

    • @jenniferlehman326
      @jenniferlehman326 Před rokem

      @Apollo The Shire & Santiago Michalek It's not only the Shire, but Belgians, Percherons, Clydesdales and even Haflingers. All draft breeds have banned the practice of docking the tail. The only time you will find a docked tail in any draft horse is in the Amish draft horses. They still dock their tails as foals. As soon as they are born, a band is placed around their tail, and it stays there until the tail and band fall off. They essentially, cut off the blood supply until that part of the tail dies and falls away on its own. And because the foal is still young and with mom, she keeps it clean, so no infection ever happens. That's the only place you'll ever find a docked tail now. Never from a renowned or recognized breeder. Best Regards, Jenn. 💖

      @apollotheshire  Před rokem +2

      No, it’s illegal to dock tails in the UK, they are either shaved, hair trimmed or braided. This is done so their long tails don’t get caught in the rigging. Can be very dangerous and injure or kill the horse or driver. Thanks for watching 🙂
