The Mongol herds (of horses, that is)

The Mongolian horse is much-renowned for hardiness and speed. They are not big animals and look a little bony this time of year. But some of them have these glorious l-o-n-g manes and tails (almost to the ground). They are mixed colors, too. I have seen some that approach Appaloosa coloring, a couple of paints, and at least one palomino.
Look at that tail! The others are smart to gather around to get the flies flicked off.
Looks like a Dr Doolittle push-me-pull-you,huh?
Oh, and dappled grey, too.
