Yay you posted your horsey picspam! Comolete with your awesome horsy knowledge.

I did a quick Google about horses manes and apparently English style for shows is right but Western cowboy style is left according to some. Some say it doesn't matter unless it's an event or show and other's don't know. So yeah...Personally I have no clue. I can confirm it is Tarrento in the shots with Morgause as Bradley said so in the episode commentary.

The grey horses are so pretty.

I am also fairly sure that isn't Tarrento in the jousting scenes. It's a lighter bay and the mane looks different to start with.

That stirrup shaped brand is so odd. And idd you notoice in that scene in the closeups it's either a different horse and/or the horse is facing the other way?

Those horses are such great professionals aren't they?

Tge unicorn is gorgeous. I remember pondering with someone whether the unicorn was also Morgana's horse.

I love Merlin's randonly changing horses. In the season 2 commentaries they do mention Colin often rides a horse called 'Cora' in France (like Bradley rides Tarrento) but I honestly can't tell. I do think it makes sense for Merlin not to have a regular horse.

I too have wondered why Merlin's riding style is so different. I like your idea it's because he is a country boy.

I loved your picspam and comments!
