Above and Below are random pictures taken off the internet of this birthmark
A prophet was wandering the desert with his herd of horses for many days, and as they approached an oasis he sent them forth to drink. But as the thirsty horses approached the water, he called them back. Only five of his mares stopped and returned to him, and to thank them for their loyalty he blessed them by pressing his thumbprint into their necks.
It’s believed that a horse with such a mark will be outstanding, being a descendant of one of these brood mares that the prophet particularly treasured.
Jenis IS outstanding!If we were to believe this of any horse it would be Jenis.
She truly is amazing and rare. Below are pictures from the past both far and near of this most marvelous magnificent mare.
My horse whom I rescued from auction at 17 years of his age is now 21 and has this mark on his right shoulder. I am asked about it all the time, just a special mark for a special horse. BlackJack is the best horse I have had or seen. Everyone one we come in contact with just wants to be near him. He looks just like these pictures all black at 15hh.
ReplyDeletei had a morgan with the very same mark on his neck. this article just explained the question of it that i had for years. and French Fry was all that the story said the horses were. He was brave, outstanding and descent. he did anything you asked. I loved that about him. He is now retired and is in a field with his old friends on a farm.
ReplyDeleteMy mare is a black dun, her name is Codee and the best horse I've ever had... The legend also states that if you're thumb matches the imprint then it's your soul horse... She is my soul horse
ReplyDeleteI've got a black mare with the thumbprint and she looks quite like the horse in the photos
