If you have her registered name you can look her up on the allbeedpedigree site.

thanks, i dont have a registered name though, she came from Ireland in a lorry and i know nothing before that

we'd need a full side-on pic to guess more accurately. she has a very quality head, plenty of tb in there i'd guess. of course, if she has big hairy soup-plate feet, i reserve the right to change my guess!
she looks lovely, so her breeding doesn't really matter!

 

[_Libby_]

better?

Do u think arab?

 

[Blizzard]

Hmm she looks like a different horse in the 2nd pic!

In the first one she looks Tb, in the 2nd she does look like an arab.
Perhaps arab x TB?

Hard to tell really, her front legs and feet have odd conformation, she def looks arabby in the 2nd pics though.

yeah i know front legs and feet are very strange! however no lameness or problems .. touch wood!

 

[kerilli]

pretty quality, definitely. she's very sweet. i'd get a good farrier to try to improve the foot-pastern axis on her near fore though, bless her, and i wouldn't canter her on hard ground until it improves.
sorry if you already know that!

 

[_Libby_]

Thanks yeah I just got a new farrier who is trying to sort her feet out

Could be totally wrong, but maybe TB with a tiny bit of welsh somewhere??

In the second pic she looks to have a deeper jaw than an arab x TB.

I'm rubbish so just a random!

I have to say she looks Dutch to me. We have a very similar mare who came from Ireland and was given to me who is by Calypso ii. Alot of the Irish continentals are Dutch probably with some Arab in them.
