I love both, but I'd look very silly on a Conne!

 

[Madam_max]

Why such a difference in breed?

 

[Forget_Me_Not]

NEW FOREST wins hands down over connies every time...connies are nice but over rated! *Runs out sreaming and panicing* Voted CB

Well for me New Forests win all the way, HOWEVER if i had to choose between a CB and a Conny, i would def choose a CB, i've always liked them.

Connemara any day of the week. I absolutely adore Connemaras.

Right I am about to me hunted down and murdered by stinkerstonker but I hate Cleveland Bays!

I used to ride one and she was th biggest cowbag ever! When she wasn't being muleish and stubborn she was trying to thow me off or kick me

I know this is only one and you shouldn't tarr them all with the same brush but I wouldn't touch one with a bargepole.

Connies on the other hand are fab fab horses and I would love a connie cross TB for my next horse.

Sweetie - I'm too big for a pony!

 

[SummerStorm]

connemara any day for me!

[/ QUOTE ] What about a nice Connemara x TB then - would that be big enough for you?

 

[teapot]

I tried out a CB x over the summer and wasn't overally impressed either. And certainly wasn't the horse the owner had bigged it up to be

 

[Lucy_Ally]

This one that I rode was called Cher

and was just a nightmare. The owner had several people come and try her and she put 2 of them in hospital

She would also pin my elderly pony against the field gate and beat the cr*p out of her

Nasty nasty beast.

I think you've just been struck off somebody's christmas card list

 

[icestationzebra]

Maybe yes... but these days I am a WB convert

However I am the first one to admit that some pony blood in a 'big horse' is a real asset!
