He could have been describing a prize horse.

When you are looking for a specific breed, or traits in that breed, you want to buy what pleases your eye. I don't see an issue with it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, remember.

Oh, I did grow up on a farm where we raised sheep, among other animals, but I wouldn't have called the sheep WE raised beautiful. As lambs they were cute.

This is the Nejdi Sheep. And I think it's got really nice hair on it, nothing like the sheep we see over here. Facially, not very pretty, looks more like a goat to me, but that's my take on her.
