I was looking at the news online and came across this story about how on this specific Shiate holiday you have to touch a horse. I looked at the picture attached to the story and at first thought it was a fake horse, but after a closer look THIS IS A REAL HORSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And a good horse at that. I wouldn’t be able to stand their calmly but that horse is just taking it all in. I WANT IT. Next time you are in Afghanistan could someone please buy him for me? I still can’t get over what a good horse it is.

You THINK he’s a good horse. He actually used to be a bay and looks like that now from all the gray hairs he got doing the ritual. 😉
rofl!!! I love the comment above! HAHAHAHA
Ozzy would love that. I wish I was kidding.
I have to agree with nowthatsatrot! But, yes, he seems to be more than a good horse. He’s a saint! I couldn’t handle being in that crowd.
definately amazing! that took a lot of desensitization….my filly probably would have eaten someone there… :0
Wow! That horse is a trooper! I love it. My horse would have high tailed it out of there as soon as he saw the crowd. Awesome first comment!
although my horse probably would’ve preformed the same, (very laid back mare) you think they would’ve have some kind of organization to it………
What a great horse. Our horses would all freak out.
I should point out that this horse was bred to do just this. He is a descendant of the horse Muhammad rode. In their religion, the lineage of this horse holds great importance as well as this ritual.
