When you learn how to crochet/ knit or really any type of fiber arts, there will be a voice in your head that tells you that you should make something for everyone for the holidays.

Do not listen to that voice, for it is the devil.

sometimes when you're travelling you will see a beautiful unique bird that captures your attention completely and you will discover that the locals call it the Boring Sparrow and there's 70 000 000 of them and they eat nothing but spicy chicken wings they find in dumpsters.

the common loon, also sometimes known as the great northern diver, is a large member of the loon family, a group of sleek waterbirds known for their agile diving ability. while brownish overall outside of the breeding season, in their breeding plumage loons are quite stunning, with an iridescent black head & upperside, white underside and white patterning over much of the body. though the sexes’ plumage is alike, males are much heavier than females. loons dive for a variety of aquatic prey, with their diet consisting of fish, crustaceans, insect larvae and mollusks. while larger items like fish are sometimes brought to the surface, prey is often swallowed whole underwater. loons are monogamous, and pairs typically stay together for multiple years, sometimes surpassing a decade or more together. they work together to defend their territory, and to build a large nest for their brood each year. loons’ nests are built out of dead marsh grasses and other plants, and are carefully constructed even though each clutch only contains 1-2 eggs, which both parents incubate for around 28 days. both parents also assist in raising the young, who are capable of diving underwater at only a few days old, but remain with their parents until 70-77 days of age.

I just want to take the funny looking foal home. He's like the opposite of those overbred seahorse arabs.

And I'd let him grow a tail. Obviously.

@craigslisthorses this creature seems right up your alley. Anteater nosed thing.

[craigslisthorses]

that is, in fact, a giant anteater

OK, so I went down the rabbit hole and this is apparently a Pura Raza Española (PRE) horse. Foals and breeding mares are traditionally shaved in this way for hygenic/grooming reasons. As this li'l guy matures, his mane & tail will be allowed to grow in and he'll look more like this:

Please note that I am *not* an expert in any way on this, so if somone more familiar with the breed can chime in that would be great.

Pura Raza Española (PRE) horses and Puro Sangue Lusitano (PSL) horses are different. This foal is Trovante QL and he’s a PSL by Lord Plus out of Doçura QL by Riopele. He was bred by Coudelaria Quinta da Lagoa and is already growing into his features just a few months later. The rams head or “Roman nose” is normal for this breed and is often very pronounced in foals. His sire has a COI of 1.42% and I’m not sure about his dam’s line since I couldn’t find her registration but his damsire Riopele has a COI of 8.11% on 5 gens (I calculated it manually hhh) which is on the low end of the spectrum for Lusitano horses, which all have some degree of inbreeding. Unless his maternal granddam is wildly inbred, his COI is probably far lower than his damsire.

Rosa Gutierrez has another stallion named Rei Mago who was born looking like Trovante QL and has since matured into a fine looking stallion. Lusitanos are just kinda Like That. Foals in general are gangly awkward little things that have an ugly phase. He’ll grow up and look normal.

As for the shaved mane and tail, it’s tradition in Portugal to shave foals to protect them from ticks and other parasites. When they’re older the breeder/owner will let it grow out. I think they may also do it for broodmares who are foaling soon for hygiene but I’m not 100% sure.
