L'Année du Cheval s'annonce et avec elle, une très longue série équine !

Ici, des chevaux au naturel, particulièrement des chevaux de Camargue (photos 1, 3 et 5)

Saint-Jean de Védas, Languedoc

Belgique, Flandre, près de Bruges - un cheval de trait, sans doute de race flamande

Belgique, Flandre, La Panne (De Panne), réserve du Westhoek des chevaux "koniks" (apparemment liés aux tarpans ?)

La Rhune, Pays Basque. Est-ce un pottok, cheval à moitié sauvage ?

Camargue

Lanildut (Bretagne)

Saint-Gilles (Camargue gardoise)

top top qis - tarpan (well the tarpan i a extint animal well)

Tarpan

"A good tarpan will serve you, faithful and true. A bad one will kick you in the head." —General Jarkeld, the Arctic Fox

Working on this one was challenging because there is only one picture from 1884 taken of this animal before its extinction. However, when I have to put inventive ways to create an animal as realistic as possible is when I enjoy the illustration more. 

Tarpan

Scientists have long grappled with the origins of the domestic horse, seeking to establish its ancestral roots. Initially, there were two distinct horse populations: the Prewalsky horse in Europe and the Tarpan in Asia. Regrettably, the Tarpan became extinct at the dawn of the 20th century, leaving no DNA samples behind. This absence of genetic evidence has posed a significant challenge in determining the true origins of the domestic horse. Nevertheless, studies analyzing the DNA of the Prewalski horse have provided compelling evidence of a close relationship between these horses and their domestic counterparts.

Numerous endeavors have been undertaken to revive the Tarpan breed. While the Heck Horse bears the closest resemblance in terms of appearance, their genetic makeup tells a different tale.
