My old boy, I had him 17 years, had two tight swirls very close, side by side right obove the eyes. I had to let him go with 27 due to a bad front knee. He never complained, ever, but I didn't want to stretch it until he could not rise after a napp. He didn't deserve that. He was the best horse ever, for me he did what I ask, and told me over the years if I was unreasonable by sending me flying once or twice. But when realy shit happens, he took care off me, saving my life. He was very special and save as you can get them. I could lounge my 2 year old cantering and he would never make a wrong step. BUT it seems he had another side as well, rearing up until the rider who was looking after him, refuced to ride him again. I travel for work so my horses are without me for around 2 weeks, then I'm back for 4 weeks. Every time I'm gone my horse got messy in the box and had this episodes where he scared people. I think he was choosing to be nice to me, but I would have liked if he would tell me when he had issues earlier. One day he was not eating his lunch 😮 so I called the vet for colic. The went told me, na, is just a mild one, I'm overreacting. But when she started emptying his intestence with bone dry, hard poop, she got very serious. He never showed how sick he was. Now I have a boring, one swirl between the eyes colt. He is somehow very different, and somehow very similar. I guess one makes their own horses to a degree. He was a fabulous jumper and didn't do to bad in dressage either. 😉 Love your videos by the way, and the book I'm currently reading 😊

I have a double whorl mare, vertical. She fits more of your description of a horizontal double whorl. She is definitely fractious and if she gets overwhelmed, I have to just stop and let her stand for a minute. But, she is super confident, adventurous, gritty, and she has that laser focus. She is also never the one to show up with dings or scrapes, so not at all accident prone. However, she's a mare, so not stupid, and has been raised in a forest (her "pasture" is just thinned out forest). She's always had to step over windfall, and glacial rubble (Canadian Shield area). She's the horse that has challenged me the most but man is she ever worth it. Interesting that you mention about not wanting to be pet on. She really only wants me to pet on her when it's fly season and I can itch her udder and belly. I got an old grey mare with a center swirl for hanging out with, so it's all good. But when I want an adventure and to cover ground, my double swirl girl is who I want under me.

Interesting observations. Boy to I have pictures to send to you! This year's foal crop has whorls I have never seen before in 60 years of breeding. Not only did we get strange whorls, we got snips on many of the foals. An interesting year! I personally love the little higher double whorls as I find them to be smart, clever and lots of fun to work with! Your comments about the donkeys has made me go looking for ours to take note! I'm looking forward to your second installment of this discussion!

Lol my gelding is a stacked double whirl high at a a slight diagonal Walker gelding but he is also a Gemini and he is exactly what you said. He was my first horse too. Honestly though maybe because of his breed he is a sweetheart, though when he decides he is done working he will stop and nothing I do will make him go. He is also lookey and can be spookey, but luckily his breed is very easy going and goofy so other than being spooky sometimes and lookey (spooking himself because his looking around) he is very tolerant of my shenanigans and mistakes. He’s sort of like a big, stubborn black Lab.

Enjoyed this video! My 2 rescued seniors are single whorled, high on the forehead. What you said is very true of them. Tho the older one came from a kill pen and while his weight and health are back, he’s got pain even with daily Equioxx. He gets a bit grumpy and sometimes I think he wonders why on earth I touch him so much! He’s come a long way. I like your comment about making things his idea….definitely respects me more as I respect him more.

I’m a retired veterinarian. Have 19:39 heard old timers talk about whorls didn’t put much store in it. But immediately went out and looked at my horses after listening to this. Don’t have any double whorls in the 8 I have. But my main show horse does have a slightly looser whorl quite high on his head midline. He is pretty quick and always alert. Very sensitive. I’ll have to check more horses. Maybe something to it as another layer on top of their base personality. The others are all single tight whorl in center b/t eyes

I picked up a 3 year old filly this spring with the double horizontal whorls, didn't think much about it. My wife said that means she's really smart. So I did the right thing and didn't believe her....we shall see. But I must admit she is very willing to learn and seems to pickup on things very quickly. I hope my wife is correct, but of course I won't tell her if she is. Great video, very glad you did it and I'm looking forward to the next one. Thanks Brett.

My one mare has a double side by side whorl. In young years she had a difficult attitude but I always got along with her and love her to death, she is just wonderful. She would and has done anything for me in the last 13 years. A real friend. My other mare has a double whorl one above the other and man, she is a machine. She doesn't like to cuddle that much. If you want anything from her, put a halter on, than she is immediately in "work mode" and anything becomes possible. She works as hard as you can imagine, she is brave as a lion and intelligent as a mule. This horse in the wrong hands would be a nightmare, but I really love her. I would buy her again in a heartbeat.

I pay more attention to the ancestors than whorls. Each horse carries so many possibilities its by pure chance which ancestor you are going to get. So a serious breeder will identify a problem horse from 60 to 100 years ago and try to minus that individual from the pedigree. Most people are not aware of those horses from long ago that are causing problems and don't know where their problems is coming from. Hats off to those people who have researched and published which horses were a problem in the breed magazines.

@HorsemanshipAsAnArt Год назад
Paper does not mean a lot to me, it only gives you an idea of what you can expect. Cashes Clay's brother couldn't fight and my sister is a Dr, so much for pedigree. I see what you are saying but only a few of the associations can go back more that fifty years

I have a registered paint with very little coloring to indicate his breed. He pretty much looks like a sorrel qtr horse. He has 3 whorls on his forehead, one big one on his left side where the cinch goes, a couple on the side of his neck. Don't know what they all mean but I know that 2 yrs I could wrap him in a tarp and he played with it without care. I was riding him when on the trail came a team of 10 sled dogs pulling small 4 wheeler and he wanted to chase them! I had a Coyote in my paddock and he was chasing it, head down and ears laid back. I wanted to shoot but didn't dare for fear of hitting the horse.

I've had her 17 years, and yep she's still a tricky handful, but never boring!

Pick your breed (I prefer Morgans) but a whorl centered at eye level or a little above will usually be a horse that is pleasant and easy to get along with. Depending on your part of the discipline you may want to go that way or one a little higher if you want a horse that will meet more challenging work. Enjoy your riding!
