I think it is kind of generous to call it a "rare breed" the way most googleable sites seem to -- as far as I can tell from reading, it is just one particular family's line of horses. I expect they are perfectly good horses but would suggest ignoring 99% of the hype since experience with similar situations would indicate that's about the right margin ;)

Note that by "horns" or "frontal bosses" they just mean "have a little lump on the forehead part of the skull".

Be interested to see if anyone here has encountered any. As for any arbitrary private line of horses, the chances seem low but nonzero.

Good luck, have fun,

Pat

Yea, I noticed that. I was reading about them and the little kid in me thought "Gasp, a unicorn!". Google, uh, yea, no. :(

This drives me CRAZY! I work with dogs for a living and golly people use the term "breed" pretty darn loosely sometimes... :he

You need to post over 10 posts before you can post pics.


My suggestion, go to Introduction section and introduce yourself to others. 10 introduction and you can post pics!

Regarding posting pics, check out FAQ' section.

BTW :welcome from New Jersey

would also love to see a picture of a moyle up close...esp. of the frontal bosses...a friend of mine was looking for pictures of some to use in reference for drawing and could never find a good, close-up photo of ones face.
