wierd animals

This is a Zorse, and as you have probably guessed, it's a cross between a horse and a zebra! Animals like these that have been purposly or sometimes acidently bred are called 'hybrids'. Zorses like zebra's are quite skittish and wary, but it is possible to train them under saddle and on a lunge. And there are even shows for them!

Miniature horses

In hand showing

The miniature horse comes in all colours found in horses and are some of the most cute equines ever! There are category A horses which must be no higher then 86.3 cm high at the withers and category B horses that must be at least 86.3cm but no higher then 96.5 cm. Mini's are used for heaps of things inclueding driving (where they pull a little mini sized buggy), in hand showing, breeding (of cource), pets, and even guide horses!!! The fancy (and expensive) show mini's have to be as close in looks to big horses as possible and the smaller the better! They are also judged on temperment and conformation  . They are normally to small to ridden but very small children sometimes can. And amazeingly, you can keep them on 1/4 acer of grazeing!

This is yet another one of my horsey drawing's that i did just recently.
 I found a photo of an American Shetland in one of my horse books, liked it, and started drawing!
 There are quite a few obvious mistakes in this one - like too short a body and the neck is a quite long, but it's all part of the fun. And like they say- we learn from our mistakes!

(if your wondering - no, this is not a three legged pony, it's leg is just behind the other one!)
