So sweet... horse love

#PAARDENLIEFDE 😍 Yesterday I posted a picture of /about horse love: it was 2 Tinker horses 😍 What is a #Tinker : The Tinker is a medium-sized, mostly fur horse from the United Kingdom and Ireland. Fur means that the horse has several colors. The colors are almost always white with brown or white with black. However, there are also even (1 color) colored Tinkers. The Tinker is known as a strong, calm and reliable animal. The standard type Tinker has an average withers height of 1.45 m and although one can speak of a small horse or a large pony, a tinker -just like an Icelander or a Fjord - is always a horse. A Tinker of three years old must have a stick size of at least 1.35 m.

During the winter, the animal has a thick coat. The thick coat protects against cold and the long hairs ensure the smooth running of rainwater. In summer, the coat is short and shiny. The mane and tail are always long, curly or straight. The Tinker has long lures: long hairs on the lower legs of the horse. This is called wallpaper along with tail and mane.

Tinkers have a wide head with large eyes and small ears. The front legs are muscular. The thighs are also firmly built. Because they are so sturdy, they can easily carry an adult human
