Roman noses. Is it just me?

[kippen64]

I love a horse to have a good Roman nose. In my humble Australian opinion, when you have a big cracking hunter type, then a Roman nose is the icing on the cake. Would love to know the view of others here. Cheers.

My girlie has a bit of a roman nose and I think she looks lovely. So no it's not just you

 

[ConnieLove]

I absolutely love them but yet to own a horse with one!

 

[sychnant]

My horse has one - never much liked them but I think he is gorgeous! He's the bay with a star in my sig, don't have a pic of him side on though

 

[Cuppatea]

it depends on the horse thats wearing it.....

 

[Oberon]

I like them too.....as long as its not on an Arab

 

[Paint Me Proud]

i'm not a fan, you either love them or hate them i think. Not my cup of tea.

 

[Lynnskatz]

my girl has a bit of a roman nose and i think she is gorgeous x

This.

I like a good old-fashioned roman nose as long as it's attatched to a quality body.

As you say.. they are nice on the right horse..

Roman noses are SOO handsome! My ID xTB has a slight one and it really suits him as he is a quality hunter type.

I love them only because my girl has a slight roman nose I find it really makes her face appealing and ive had comments in past that she would make a great little hunter,shes an irish cob x tb.it was quite prominent when she was a youngster but as shes git older shes really filled out in to it...if I can find baby photos I will show you,but I will dig out a goodish photo of her recently.i was always told as an old tale if you rub a horses roman nose everyday it will bring you luck in the future....

How about this nose

 

[SophieLouBee]

My lad has a slight one, it's distinguishing & handsome He looks so different from the front though.

I love a great big head with a roman nose, I could cuddle it all day.

I think they look common

 

[Black_Horse_White]

My horse has a slight one, come to think of it so do a few people I know. Doesn't bother them or me ;-)

 

[Ginger Bear]

Not a fan I'm afraid.. But then I'm not a fan of the type of horse that has a roman nose..

 

[muffinmunsh]

Annielusian: that takes matchy matchy to the next level!
I love a big strong warmblood or hunter type and a bit of a roman nose often just suits them

 

[millitiger]

I wouldn't say I love them but I quite like them- I have had 2 x horses with roman noses and they have been the best horses I have ever owned.

 

[Tinseltoes]

I cant say Im a fan of the roman nose. As said depends on the horse.

 

[SplashofSoy]

They can look great on the right horse for an overall picture

 

[POLLDARK]

Just can't take Roman noses at all, would go so far as to say that I wouldn't go & view a paragon of all virtues if it had a Roman nose. How sad is that.

 

[KSR]

I've never gone for that kind of head shape.. However my 1 and 2 yo Cleveland bay lads both have that head shape.. I presume they will grow into their heads of a sort.. Not that they aren't gorgeous as us.. My other 2 Clevies and my DWb have lovely straight ones..

 

[midi]

I hate it unfortunately, I much prefer the opposite extreme.

 

[Ruth_Cymru]

I love a roman nose on the right horse. My last horse had one, and I refuse to believe that it made him look common, but I was besotted by him so maybe I'm a little biased:

 

[Mare Stare]

I don't like them. I always think that roman nose = stubborn for some reason. I don't know if there are any grounds for that.

 

[LouiseG]

I love a roman nose! Have no idea why, haver never owned a horse with one, but defintely have a soft spot for them! And moustaches too... but not together

 

[Bright_Spark]

See, I'm the opposite- I'd take on a paragon of all virtues even if it had a head like a hammerhead shark! LOL

There was a time when you would get looked down on for riding a coloured, they were considered common xxx
