Adonis
HEIGHT: 14.2hh
SEX: Gelding.
DATE OF BIRTH: 30-01-2000.
BREED: Boerperd x Arabian.
COLOUR: Dapple grey.
MARKINGS: Adonis has a very unusual dark grey mark on his face between his eyes, which almost looks like a heart from a distance. His tail is black at the base going to dark grey, grey and then white at the bottom. His mane is all dark grey. His 2 front legs are black with a small band of white just above the hoof on both feet. His 2 back legs and hindquarters are dark grey also with 2 white socks and a pale grey patch just below his back right knee.
WHY IS HE CALLED ADONIS? Adonis is used to describe any handsome young man and means ‘my lord’ in Greek. In Greek mythology, he was the handsome youth loved by both Aphrodite and Persephon. Adonis was killed in a hunting accident and Aphrodite pleaded with Zeus to bring him back so Zeus decided to grant her request on the condition that he would spend autumn and winter in the underworld with Persephon and spring and summer with Aphrodite (thus making the vegetation die in winter and blossom in summer.) When Adonis died, he was in Aphrodite’s arms, when he died, she sprinkled his blood with nectar and the short lived anemone plant grew (anemone is taken from the name of the wind that so easily makes it fall.) He suits Adonis because of his amazing good looks.
