- My Dream Horses -

My first choice for a dream horse would be a four year old medium dappled gray Trakehner mare with a dark gray mane and tail. She'd have a huge perfect star on her face and four tall stockings on her legs.

Cleopatra's Starpasser

My second choice would be a five year old bright blood bay Arabian gelding with a black flowing mane and tail. He would have black ears, a fairly dark muzzle, four white stockings with black above them, and a star on his forehead. (I actually found a horse that looks just like this) 

Life's Illusion

(Fantasy for short)

My third choice would be a black yearling colt. He'd be pitch black except for four socks and a star. He'd have a silky smooth mane and tail and he'd run like the wind. I'd have every part of his training. It'd all be up to me. I'd teach him to be a trick rider's horse. I haven't come up with a name for him yet, either. I also haven't chosen a breed. 

Dark Mirage

(This is what I'm going to call him unless I come up with a better name)

When I'm an adult and have my own ranch set up somewhere where it's nice and warm, I would love nothing more than to own these three horses, even if I didn't have any others. It wouldn't even matter if they couldn't do all the things I've listed.

These horses would be a spirited and they would be a champion jumpers, able to jump seven-foot-high fences, clearing them totally. They would be scared of nothing, not even cannons or bears. They would all excel in English and Western riding, including huntseat and dressage, mastering the most difficult moves.

They would all, even the yearling when I trained him to, do any and all of the styles of riding or racing, whether it be calf roping, harness racing, and so on and so forth. They'd be able to go thirty feet in one stride, and leap ten feet straight up into the air and twenty feet across from a standstill. They would be able to pace and harness race, too, their movements would be like liquid, and their muscles strong and smooth. they would be a good racers, too.

They would let me and only me near them and ride them. If anyone else tried to ride them, they would not let anyone on them; they were all mine, and it was on me that they doted. They would respond to my every command, no matter how hard, and they would be willing and able to do the difficult and intricate moves of the Spanish Lippizaners.

They could run at great speed over rough, rocky terrain for hours upon end without tiring or lessening their speed. They could go from walk to gallop, trot to gallop, and so on, in a second's time. They would go to shows and fairs a lot, and win first place every time. When they won and their names were called, they would prance into the ring, holding their heads and feet as high as they could get them. Then, after receiving their awards, they would turn and "bow" to their loving audience. They would love it.

This dream horse would be able to gallop downhill (which is a very dangerous and dumb trick to do, don't try it at home) without missing a beat, and run miles for hours over grass, dirt, rocks, sticks, logs, pebbles, sand, gravel, mud, and nearly any other kind of turf.

They could gallop over jumps in perfect form, not missing a stride. They would not sweat, even after hours of running.(Yes, if this happened in real life it would be an emergency. But this is really almost fantasy) They would not hesitate to do what I asked her. They would be capable of sensing danger, and when they did, they would stop and shake their heads as if to say no.

They would have hearts of gold, the most perfect horses in the world,

Author's Note

I know perfectly well there are no horses like this in all the world. These were the figments of a child's imagination. Mine. But can't you just imagine having a horse like one of the three mentioned? (Talk about people beating a path to your door to breed their horses to yours! :^)
