CC and what breed/s is she?

[MrsElle]

I know nothing about conformation. If something looks really bad I can just about tell that it isn't 'right', but other than that I am clueless.

Bailey is 4 and unbroken. She is a bit overweight at the moment, but wicked me has introduced her to a grazing muzzle this week.

She is 14.2 ish at the moment, and doesn't look particularly pony like, but I haven't a clue what she might be crossed with.

This is her in December, looking like a cut and shut pony!

And last week - excuse untidy mane, she has now been introduced to the solo comb and is looking much tidier!

And just so you can see how pretty she is

ETA: The December photo is what she looked like when she came to us, we aren't responsible for the condition she was in at the time.

Crikey, well I have no idea on breeding, maybe a bit of cob in there, but wow does she look better compared to when she arrived. oh and I love her diamond shaped snip

What a fantastic change well done you!!! No cc I'm afraid but I'll take a guess at breed and say NF x TB!

I'm glad I scrolled down...I was thinking omg if you think she is overweight atm then what on earth is she going to look like after diet but then saw second pic! Phew! She's sweet looking - not too sure on breed maybe tb x something native? Nf? Welsh?

From what i can see by the photo,
her shoulder is to upright, she looks slightly rouchbacked and goose rumped. her neck looks slightly ewe necked as well, can not tell on the legs as not standing up straight.

There might well be some TB in there, she has such spindly thin legs compared to Fat Lad, although pretty much everything has spindly thin legs compared to his chunky Highland pins!

Her mane is a nightmare, I have never seen a mane like it. It is mega frizzy and always looks a mess, even now it is short and tidy. Fat Lads long locks are easier to look after than Baileys!

She is the sweetest, most genuine and loving pony I have met. I am always greeted with a whinney when the car pulls in, and I can't even say it is because she expects food as she hasn't had any hard feed since I got her, only hay when the grazing was poor over winter. I never feed treats either, because I am cruel I love her to bits

Wow what an improvement - I love the shine on her coat. I was also thinking native (connie/NF?)x TB

can only guess on breeding, but looks quite a bit like a horse my friend had some time ago, she was about 15hh, and a total cross breed, she had some tb, some hanoverian but must have had something small in her too, like nf???

I too saw the top photo and read about being overweight and thought WHAT!!! then read on and saw below photos lol!! looks like she's still got some growth to do yet too?

I am just off to google all that

I know what goose rumped and ewe neck is, and that may be due to lack of muscle. That should improve, she is being sent away to be started in the autumn.
