When I was under the age of 8 I wanted the black stallion... though in my mind he was big and tall and didn't particularly look like an arabian. Then I started actually riding and decided that I would prefer a bay and definitely wanted him BIG. When I say "him" for the first time I couldn't keep my eyes off of him and knew right then that the exact horse I wanted was a 17hh Bay Dutch Warmblood with embers burning in the depths of his big brown eyes. I bought him 3 years later and owned him for almost 9 years until the day he passed away. He was my perfect horse and I don't think any horse will ever compare.
