Also called Nine-Horse Painted Hill and Mountain of Nine Horses is located in Yangshuo county in the northeastern part of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in China.
Legend has it that on the side of this mountain there are nine horses, and that the more a person sees, the greater they will be.
I guess the average person sees 3 to 5 horses on the hill.
Here is a few more pictures to help…

The Reminisce horses are the product of an artist in San Francisco named Ruby Neri. She became a prolific horse graffiti artist while she attended the San Francisco Art Institute in the 90’s.
Although her work is graffiti in every sense, the subject matter was well-received within the community and many images of her work can still be found.
Today, Ruby sticks to sculpture, but I wanted to pay tribute to the 90’s and her lovely Reminisce Horses, so I collected as many as I could find.

Regardless of your stance on graffiti, you have to admit that some of the artwork is amazing.
I’ve always enjoyed street art and I love horses, so I thought I’d look into the street art scene and see if they liked horses too.
Initially it seemed that the horse is not a popular graffiti subject, however as I started to intensify my search I was able to find interesting horse graffiti from around the globe.
In fact, I found so much of it I had to break them down into several posts.

I like to feature equine art of all types, especially if it is well done.
While I find origami frustrating when I’m trying to make it, I do like to see the products of other people’s imagination and a few sheets of paper.
I scoured the web to found all of the coolest horse origami out there and compiled it here for the viewing pleasure of us all.
Frankly, I was expecting to have 5 maybe 6 different designs, but I was shocked because I just kept finding more and more.

Quite possibly the coolest horse trailer ever built, this is transportation for the serious show circuit.
With all the comforts of home, a full bathroom, full kitchen and plenty of space to unwind after a hard day in the saddle.
Oh yeah, and there is space for horses too.

In doing my research for the horse color posts, I discovered that there are some horse colors that actually have a metal-like sheen to them.
Usually associated with the champagne dilution gene, which is rather new and rare in the world of horse genetics.
Generally this gene is found in warm weather horses (who have thin skin and fine fur over their bodies), and is a trait most often found and displayed in the Akhal Teke breed.
One of my new favorite breeds, the Akhal Teke is the subject of all of these images (they were all I could find with metallic coats).
Enough words, here are the pictures

Please read this as it’s important to the future of horse people everywhere.
Writing this site myself requires hours of labor intensive research across the web, searching for both information and images.
In these searches I find some of the most atrocious websites, and some of these atrocities are committed by people selling horse web design.
So I developed a few rules of conduct for horse websites which will not only make my life more pleasent, it will help your website get more traffic too.

No horse website is complete without mention of horse oddities.
Most of us have seen miniature horses, but this one is really small, the smallest.
The video is from 1994, so it’s pretty dated, but it’s such a cute little horse I couldn’t resist posting it.
