Are they want you had in your head?

Not mine Twinkley Lights; mine looks more like pic 1 at the moment and I'm aiming to get her more like pic 2 of Immy's mare! She is definitely scrawny at the moment but I don't think the lack of grass and rubbish weather helps...
 
I wasn't even looking, but I'd always had in mind a chestnut mare, tb or arab type between 14.2 - 15h.
And I was just riding a friends young cob for fun for a while, thinking she'd be an easy project and slowly I realised that I didn't want anyone having this horse other than me. She's my everything, aswell as everything I never wanted. Big 15h coloured with more white than I'd like, ridiculously wide, gets sunburnt, is a delicate flower for something that's meant to be tough and hardy, but I couldn't part with her now.

First time round I didn't want a grey and didn't want an Arab. Ended up with a grey part Arab. Second time round I didn't ever want a grey again and didn't want a youngster. I bought a grey just backed 4yo.... Ah well!
 
I wanted a black hanovarian which looked like black beauty and who was young enough so i could go there and do stuff with her. I got a black hanovairan 3 year old who can be a pain in the ass at times but who's turned out to be my horse of a lifetime.
 
After a 28 year break from riding - went for a couple of riding lessons and ended up buying a 5 yr old 17hh TB grey late cut gelding - my last horse, who I adored, was a 14.3hh bay arab mare! A few years later I was given a 15hh bay mare - they are both amazing and I wouldn't swap either of them - its not the colour, size or breed that makes the horse - Mark Rashid's book title says it all - a good horse is never a bad colour - which, if you read his book, moves on to pre-conceived ideas on breed behaviours, etc.

It all depends on what boxes you need ticking I think, some people's requirements are more specific than others. I do have blips occasionally, I am not as hard hearted as I appear, which is why I have two rescued minis that will never do anything more than be expensive lawn ornaments. :)
 
Bought samba hackney x welsh as a project plus bit of fun. Toffee was all go go go and I wanted that back for a while. Samba is not all go go go and when we had a group gallop she looked annoyed she had to keep up lol. Not what I wanted but the loyalty (as in total cow with anyone else) she has with me says to me she has a home for life.
