I'll start, and put my breed at bottom, next person does my breed so on etc....

Arab owners - normally one hell of a rider, and often slightly crazy, often seen hooning about having a whale of a time off their spirited horse, regardless of weather horse always looks stunning and rider normally fairly dishevelled.

I have a Newfie.
 
Newforest- usually the ones that turn up looking as scruffy as anything but then surprise everyone. Usually rider/owner looking rather distressed while pony looks very pleased at being incredibly stubborn. - my experience with my ponies! :) (im also a newforest owner) :)
 
Since newforest has been done and last one has a newforest too how about cob owners, love that they can do everything and anything with their little chunky monkey but insist it's a mini warmblood and hog and trim it to disguise it. I have a mini warmblood. Lol. I also have irish sports so how about irish sports next?
 
Irish sports horse owners

The master of all disciplines. If there's a horsey activity to be done, the Irish sports horse owner and their versatile steed will have tried it.

Hardy, determined and often full of knowledge the owner of the Irish sports horse is often seen using very old school, but effective horsemanship.

Spanish horse
 
Spanish horse riders....normally paled from death threats from people wanting their gorgious horses!!!!! And when in doubt...piaffe everywhere :p

I have a Welsh D, TB or a traditional....take your pick :)

section D - bit scatty and freaked out by anything insignificant, great in a proper crisis! Like to have charge around, bit bossy but so adorable and loving.


quarter horse

Mine really is a cob x DWB. I recommend them...she is as cheap as a cob to own, but moves like a WB and eats up the ground with her huge paces...When we come the TB's scatter in fear cos she is a big bird!
 
Section A - can be seen at shows looking beautiful on the lead rein, with women in unflattering outfits in tow. Off the lead rein either merrily hooning about with a small child aboard (can cut corners like nothing else during a jump-off), or not moving at all (busy eating).

I now own a warmblood, but have ridden lovely section As in the past
 
Shetland owners - surely they're worried looking mothers standing at the side of the ring watching small child be pulled around by their little monkey, who is intent on ditching small child and eating.

Mother is actually more worried the pony will catch sight of some grass, balloon up to 500kg and get laminitis, than they are about the welfare of the child ;)


I own highlands but I can't pull off "regal" or a head scarf... A kilt and a false beard it will have to be :D

Only met one haffie owner so here goes....... owners usually have long blonde hair to match the mane and tail of their mount, wearing pink lipstick and always looking ready for a night out. They enter the all that is offered at their local riding clubs and always come out smiling with a rossette, they then tie the haffie up to the lorry and have proper tea in a china cup whilst admiring their chunky blonde ponies.

And since two of my breeds have gone lets try the last of the breeds I own (Appaloosa)
 
Not a true appy but a mini one was seen kneeling down so he could eat with his grass reins on :D along with small child kicking away with oblivious pony filling its stomach and feeling rather proud of beating the grass reins. Mother found it amusing :D.

What about connies?
 
Traditional cob owner - usually found looking smug when your WB is hanging from the branch of a tree because of a scary looking plant as traddie tries to eat the plant! or you reverse into the yard to off load your 2 tonnes of horse feed whilst they mix their handfuls of chaff and an apple, but they prefer to bath the horse at 4 am so said WB owner cant see them covered from head to foot in soap suds sobbing "turn white dam it" into their horses feathers.
 
OMG Dncing queen you describe both me and my sec D to a tee - omg have we met before lol- just true discription of baby and me lol !!!!!! :) xx
 
Tradidional Cob Smart and mean tempered will grab hold of your leg in its mouth with ears still pricked reverse at high speed scattering all others around you at the meet like Skittles to get to a mate. Owners also tend to be a bit thick set and bombastic with thick cob like necks bulging within a Hunting stock or collar and tie. Cobs Rule and dont care what other people think of them.

Chalky White King of Cobs
 
I would have said the trad cob owner may be a slightly more mature lady, who often fills their breeches quite well, but is cheery. They may be nervous, and recovering their confidence, or more likely came to horses later in life and are now utterly besotted. Hacking, a little dressage, small sj and even some hunting will make up the repertoire. That she loves her horse is not in doubt, but she probably needs to be a bit more firm with him!

The cob will be treated like a king, almost worshipped as a god like entity, and never worked beyond his abilities. He will probably know he can get away with things, and may push the boundaries but also will look after his charge as and when required. He is perhaps less than impressed by the shade of saddlecloth, the spotty rug or the incongruous diamante ensemble, but he knows he has it good. His luxurious mane and feathers will be groomed to perfection, a work which he will promptly undo as soon as his feet touch freedom.

This is a happy pairing, who have bucketloads of fun and may often be envied by the riders of more "competitive" horses who are struggling to achieve similar goals!
