Please show us your best Arabian Horse Reference Images
-
What makes a good reference photo? Images should have:
-Bright, clear lighting, without overly dark shadows
-Be side-on shots with the photo taken square to the shoulder, like the current images in the game.
-Be good examples of the breed type.
-Show as much of the horse as possible, tall grass hides a lot of leg details.
-Bonus if we can clearly see at least some of each leg.
-Limited, or ideally no tack at all.
-In addition to the nice square on body shots if you have an image of a body part (like a head, mane, tail etc) that you think is particularly nice feel free to share it but we need square full body shots more than anything. The body part in question should be clearly labeled and must STILL be square to the camera. We can't use the images otherwise.
We need adult horses AND foal images.
Please don't share images of "pretty horses" that do not fit what is outlined above. It bogs things down and makes it harder on us.Post edited by Ammit at 2023-08-17 07:30:39Need to contact me? Read this first.

Ammit Edit:
This Grey Mare is Egyptian Arabian
- this stallion is very beautiful
Foundation Egyptian Arabian stallion
This foal is a rare Arabian color but at least it is standing still lol
The top bay is a Polish Arabian he is Bay El Bey GET
this one is an odd photo but I thought is was a nice head profile, it is hard to find nice un-tacked Arabian head shots.

I think the body and neck are particularly nice on this one.
The tail on this one is nice, high-set but not too extreme or distracting.
The leg placement on these two could look nice.
Personally I love this head, but maybe it's too dished for most people's taste. -

I am cleaning up the image threads as we go to fix any broken links and remove images that are not straight to help streamline the process and show people what we are looking for.

I tried to find more head shots.

We need the heads to also be square to the camera. Jenx is getting better at horses but right now he needs pretty picture-perfect references to work off of. We will get there will losser reference images. :)Need to contact me? Read this first.

I'm still looking. Arabians seem to mostly cock their head in portrait shots so it's making it hard to find them square on.Thanked by 1Ammit

@RedtailFoxFarm Ammit and her team could make use of that, looks like it has some of the many Arabian body types :)Post edited by RKO at 2023-08-17 12:28:41Bluegrass id:182429

That is such a good resource RFF! The Russian Arabians are my favorite of the types, but it seems imprudent to add Russian breeds right now with everything going on.
This guy is incredible. Straight Russian.
RKO the image she posted are just Russian Arabians.Post edited by Ammit at 2023-08-17 12:28:58Need to contact me? Read this first.

I like the head on this one
-
The one white one -the stallion is an Egyptian bred or one that is related to horses bred by the Bedouin people, that horse is considered foundation stock for Arabians :) I think the stallion was bred by one of the Arabian Princes so as I look at his head it seems a bit more refined. Now I have to do research lol. I know I like the older looking Arabians Bedouin or Egyptian type horse.
P.S. Bedouin bred horse - I think the white stallion has this type of head on him :) the photo is small, the grey mare may be Russian type but idk for sure I was looking for older body type photos.Post edited by RKO at 2023-08-17 13:30:42Bluegrass id:182429

Ammit, that Russian Arabian is incredible! I love his type! Totally understand why you think avoiding Russian breeds/types would be wise for the moment, though.
I've always liked Crabbets. My faovurite examples don't have good images that meet the criteria so here are some others:
This guy is a bit of everything. Crabbet, Spanish, Polish, and Egyptian. He has some cool things about himPost edited by paradoxphoenix at 2023-08-17 13:57:42 -
All Arabians are beautiful, I love all Arabians except for the over refined ones that is. Mostly I am concerned about the over dished heads they seem to be breeding.Post edited by RKO at 2023-08-17 18:28:33Bluegrass id:182429

Maybe instead of the Russian Arabians go for the Polish Arabians? I feel like a lot of modern day Egyptian Arabians have been bred for a dramatically dished face, which I’m personally not a huge fan of

I love Arabs for their personality alone lol ; IMO the Riding Horse we currently have Is an Arabian Head ( it might not be popular to say this but ..... its just my opinion )
-
There's some beautiful horses in this thread.

I think we may be going for a Polish type as our base. Lots of people made it very clear they don't want super exaggerated type and want something that looks more ridable and I think the Polish fits the bill. I love the Russian types personally but am going to avoid adding Russian breeds right now to the game.Need to contact me? Read this first.

Personally I love the modern sport horse Arabian, like the Varian lines. Mirage V is one of my favorite stallions.

@Ammit. Awesome, I think that is great, the bay I posted is Polish type, I did post two Polish and one Egyptian type on Mesa, the foal is a Polish type. The foal here is Egyptian I believe. I am looking forward to see the new BC art.Post edited by RKO at 2023-08-18 04:47:54Bluegrass id:182429

@Ammit Yes he did - I think he comes from the Bay El Bey bloodline (I am going to have check on that) - now that was an Arabian. The Polish Arabian has two or three foundation sires that did come from the desert and one was from the royal stud farm I believe. Sadly the Polish sire line (there were 8) three of the lines are extinct now.Post edited by RKO at 2023-08-20 05:53:43Bluegrass id:182429

Padron was very beautiful indeed. I am thinking most of the Arabian horses I like are Polish and I am just realizing this lol I love model horses and my favorite model is the proud Arabian stallion from Breyer, I wonder if it was based off of a Polish bred Arabian.Post edited by RKO at 2023-08-18 06:57:59Bluegrass id:182429

In RL Polish Arabians are definitely my favorite! I'm not as familiar with the Russian Arabians, but I've never liked the idea of throwing away an animal because of what people and countries are doing. Lots of German Shepherds were destroyed because of that. And many varieties of livestock and seeds are extinct and lost now because of that sort of thing. :(
-
I Love the Top Line on these! And the croup is just Beautiful ! such a level slide from wither to tail.
-
Absolutely gorgeous! Bay El Bey and Khemosabi are two of my favorite Arabians. From what I've seen of the line they've all got that beautiful body and head. :xPost edited by bluchrystals at 2023-08-18 17:07:18Thanked by 1Fiddler

@Cavalynn - Please remember that not adding art at this moment, and respecting the victims of war, is in no way even vaguely comparable to killing living animals. This is a deeply unfair comparison. It's rather upsetting to read what you wrote.Post edited by Ammit at 2023-08-19 04:49:43Need to contact me? Read this first.

I didn't mean to imply that you're destroying real animals. I wasn't thinking that and I'm sorry if it sounded that way.Thanked by 1Ammit

I hope the art you make doesn't have them all stretched out. The photos you shared of khemosabi are a lot more natural and comfortable looking
-
I too like to a natural show stance, I tried to post photos of Arabians that had a more natural pose, very had to find especially since they need to be a good picture. Most the horses I looked for are older body type Arabians.Post edited by RKO at 2023-08-20 07:32:19Bluegrass id:182429

Wow those are beautiful Arabians, here is a grey mare
this is a very nice pose, except the head is a bit unfocused but this is for reference only I think it shows a very nice nearly level pose and there are many head references on all three servers.
another almost level pose

Ammit; I love the ones that you posted. The gorgeous head shapes and body stance.
To me the straight faced don't really look like true Arabians, to me need that dished face, but not to the extremes.Post edited by SheebaArab at 2023-08-21 21:13:46 -
Any of the Arabian shown would be good, the Arabian look that Ammit and her team is looking for is Polish type. So Kemosahbee is of Polish bloodline one of the bays Ammit posted. Arabian standard calls for a slightly concave profile. So I am sure Ammit will create art that will capture the Arabian beautifully.
