Following on from the 'how colourful' post, I thought I would see who has any interesting breeds of horse/pony on their yard. I think we have quite a few more 'unusual' breeds on our yard at the moment - obviously some are rarer than others

We have

1 Fiord pony
3 Hafflingers
1 Ersky
1 Arabian Colt/Stallion
1 Exmoor pony
1 Arab
1 Quarter horse
1 apoloosa

Plus lots of TBs, TBxs, Welsh Crosses, misc ponies etc etc
 
We have a lusitano stallion and an andalucian gelding. I think thats about it on the odd stakes, the rest are fairly bog standard!!
 
we have 4 suffolk punches, and one foal. They are massive and extremely strong, they pull wagons around our village.
 
We have 1 fjord pony, 1 icelandic, 1 haflinger, and a load of mini shetties. They are mainly all native pony or cob types. There was a lovely dun-type colour pasa fino (sp?) where I work which I always thought was rather stunning.
 
Phew, someone else that not only has a fjord pony... but knows how to spell it LOL.

What is your fjord like? Ours only arrived about 2 days ago, he is very sweet but very very strong in his neck - is that a breed trait?
 
ahhhhh, I love the big horses. There is nothing cuter than a heavy horse foal.

We have a pure bred shire horse as well (don't know how I forgot about her as she is absolutely HUGE

some BIG cart horses...Normandy Cob perhaps?! 900kg white thing!! abslutly gorgeous!!
lots of shetland ponies with fantastic colours!!!
other ponies!!!
.......can't think of anything else
 
At college theres a new Fjord (sure it's one of those) in one of the fields, one of the liveries has a gorgeous andy gelding and one girl has a friesian stallion. Thats about it really.
 
We have the most basic horses on our yard. Foresters, Welsh cobs, shetlands. I think theres just two horses that are x bred things, tb x forest or something.

2 Donkeys!!

I own an Arab which isn't unusual - everything else is WB, TB, Cob or a mix

At a yard I used to be at the owner used to get me and my friend to ride her driving Mules - they were incredibly naughty!
