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.

    imgbox 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.
    image

    The tail on this one is nice, high-set but not too extreme or distracting.
    image

    image

    image

    The leg placement on these two could look nice.
    image

    image

    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.

    Thanks so much to Cavalynn and RKO for posting this awesome selection so far.

  • 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. :)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I like the head on this one
    image


    image
  • 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.

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • @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.

  • @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.

  • 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.

  • Polish seems like a good route to take!
  • Bay El Bey is of Polish bloodline, Bey is get of Kuhailan Afas OA sire line. Updated information on the Bay in my first post. Bey is also from Bask line as well.

  • 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. :x

  • @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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
