Description A beautiful winter scene and composite I done of two gorgeous horses. The snow is falling and you can feel the chill when you view this piece. I love how the one horse is staring right at me while the other one could care less. I captured these two out in the country and added them to the winter background and added extra falling snow.Horses are mammals, and as such are warm-blooded, or endothermic creatures, as opposed to cold-blooded, or poikilothermic animals. However, these words have developed a separate meaning in the context of equine terminology, used to describe temperament, not body temperature. For example, the 'hot-bloods', such as many race horses, exhibit more sensitivity and energy, while the 'cold-bloods', such as most draft breeds, are quieter and calmer. Sometimes 'hot-bloods' are classified as 'light horses' or 'riding horses', with the 'cold-bloods' classified as 'draft horses' or 'work horses''Hot blooded' breeds include 'oriental horses' such as the Akhal-Teke, Arabian horse, Barb and now-extinct Turkoman horse, as well as the Thoroughbred, a breed developed in England from the older oriental breeds. Hot bloods tend to be spirited, bold, and learn quickly. They are bred for agility and speed. They tend to be physically refinedthin-skinned, slim, and long-legged. The original oriental breeds were brought to Europe from the Middle East and North Africa when European breeders wished to infuse these traits into racing and light cavalry horses.
