Breeds for sale in England...

[metalmare]

I see so little variety in the breeds for sale in this country. I suppose their are dealers that specialise in bringing in obscure breeds somewhere. What is the most unusual horse you have ever seen for sale IN ENGLAND (not on the net in the USA or somewhere)

a zebra

LOL - I think the most interesting thing I've seen is only something like a Friesian or Haflinger and they're hardly unusual. And I look at tons of ads. I must live in a boring area.

There is a place in Yorkshire (I think) who advertise on horsemart. They always have unusual types. Can't remember the exact breeds but they all seem to be big coldblood types.

I really like the nonius. God only knows about how you would go about getting one in this country though! I think I shall just have to go on liking them from afar!

There was a place in yorkshire (I think) that sold zebra!

My instructor has a lipizzaner... And a girl I know has a friend who owns a bashkir curly! (poodle-pony)

 

[metalmare]

I've never seen Lipizzaner, though I have seen Adnalucian. That Bashkir Curly thing takes the biscuit! Any pics?

Lots of them over here, they are being touted as hypo-allergenic! The up and coming designer horse it seems!
