#Ayo send NFL players you want me to describe as horse breeds

[damnedtoearthnothell]

Ur bio says ur an equestrian so what breed of horse gives off specific NFL player vibes? I saw this Faroese pony with Mahomes mane and ever since I can’t stop assigning horse vibes

*rises from dead to answer this a month late*

After doing some EXTENSIVE research (debating with one of my riding friends) I have answers. Here are some of my favs (and possibly not favs) as horse breeds:

I was torn between a thoroughbred and a standardbred for Aaron Rodgers and then I had a THOUGHT. A registered black Saddlebred who’s a solid 16hh, was never trained in the gait, and used to do stadium jumping for a pro and now does dressage for an amateur with big dreams.

I chose the American Bashkir Curly/North American Curly (name is HIGHLY debated) for Mahomes. Also 16hh, this bay was brought by an ambitious pro and brought them to the highs. Curlies are a rarer breed, and even then not often seen in the show ring, but they have are very versatile and have proven themselves in the upper levels!

Travis Kelce has been assigned: the Percheron! Seventeen hands and gorgeously dappled, this draft horse has been seen at the TOP levels of combined driving with his partner, the young Creed Humphrey.

I had to, of course, assign the classic thoroughbred (one of my personal favorite breeds) to someone, and then I had to pick multiple. Because honestly, which NFL position does the Thoroughbred fit better than the runningback, although it's easily applied to the Wide Reciever position. Strong, fast, and powerful… and easily injured, I assign the thoroughbred to players such as Christian McCaffret, Austin Ekler, and Saquon Barkley. And with recievers I’d assign it to Randall Cobb, Devante Parker, and Sammy Watkins, among others.

And now Joe Burrow. I knew I had to include him for the clicks, as much as I pray he retires tomorrow. After much debate, I eventually settled on the Irish Sport Horse with a little thoroughbred heritage. 16.2 hands, bay, and gorgeous, this horse excells in eventing! He’s barreled through the lower levels and now is ready to win a 5* event.
