I remember as a child the first I seen was black and white, so I named it the cow horse. :D

They are good for farm or racing. I have seen two difference ones perform for shows as well. I love how quiet they are, more like a docile than most others I have seen. Anyone been close enough to touch them? The mane is so smooth it blows me away.

I've never seen one. They look beautiful though! Wow, the tail on that second pic you posted... gorgeous!

I have never heard of them but the pictures of them are beautiful! My little girl used to call cows horses, lol.

I can certainly see why you would call them cow horses-the markings are really quite striking. I have never been close enough to touch one, no.
