As title says really, and why do I ask ? Well coz I'm bored! :D

Mine would be.... 15hh-15.2hh skewbald/Roan/Spotty 8yo Gelding. ISH or Connemara X, awesome jump, nice flatwork, good to hack but with quirks so I wouldn't get bored, decent personality
Your turn :D
 
About 16h (ish) true middleweight, not what seems to pass for a middle weight nowadays. Heavy cross TB. Percheron/TB or Shire/TB. Gelding, flaxen or roan of some description. Ride and Drive. Nice steady average jump, good dressage, elementary maybe. Clever in harness, not a puller and brave. And stands nicely. Good legs.

Would be to do a bit of everything, pleasure rides, dressage, HDT, pleasure drives, le trec, RC etc.

Don't ask for much do I!
 
I'm bored too, horse is on box rest :( , so will join in :)

Mine would be a mixture between my current horse, bay TB mare, and my old loan horse, tricoloured cob x gelding. So a tricoloured TB gelding with a kind personality and a sense of fun :D
 
i own my dream horse as shes does everything i ask tries so hard for me and will just walk across a field when others are cantering. Highland ponies are my dream ponies to have and i have 2 of them colour wise dun is my fav for the breed as they are intelligent but have a sence of humour to it.
 
A slightly green but enthusiastic and sensible 14-14.2 hh mare, Dun, buckskin or tobiano (or both?).

Sensible and fun hack, reasonable jumping ability (up to 3 foot) willing and forward with nice enough paces to do low level eventing and local shows.

Friendly and fun, chunkyish hairy pony mare.
 
14.2-15.2 Connemara, Mare (must be happy, no moodies!), Grey (pref iron/steel, dappled would be lovely), 7/8 yrs, awesome jump, awesome flat work, awesome hunter, awesome personality, loves cuddles, cheap to keep - doesn't injury itself constantly - travels like a dream, loves to compete, loves to hack and gallop on beach, will go when you say go and stop when you say stop. Stands nicely to be groomed, bathed, mounted etc

Hoping to find her one day! Is it possible!?
 
My mare would be my 'perfect' horse if she was bay, black or didn't roll in poo and mud all the time and if she was a little more chilled out. :) I'm getting too old for sharp horses and I'm certainly not as confident these days :(
 
I own my dream horse. I've had Ballet for three years now, and although it's taken a while to get with her, I wouldn't swap her for anything. If I was being picky, I'd ask her to be a bit more polite out hunting, take more of an interest in dressage, and respect the showjumps just a bit more. :D
 
A dapple grey show hunter like the one Robert Walker had at Royal Windson -forgot it's name!
Although my Milly isnt what i originally wanted she is pretty fab and like a dream to ride! (most of the time) so i wont be trading her in for the grey hunter any time soon!
 
Don't get me wrong my donks are great but neither arew what I was looking for, the welsh D is a nuerotic stress head that only me and two others can do anything with without him having a panic attack, he doesn't jump has to be led in a chiffney and is difficult to load but my 92 year old nan could hack him down the m25 and he wouldn't bat an eyelid, perfect to clip and bath :) The Connemara jumps like a stag, loads perfectly, easy to clip and bath, but doesn't hack any bucks like s*** when excited! If I could take they good points from both amd mash them together I'd have a lovely if slightly mental beastie :)
 
A 14.2 baroque style Friesian for dressage and hacking and fun riding, or a 14.2 highland with hair down to the ground. I will probably never be able to afford either. :(
 
Too right! I admire horses like that very much but my laid back cob mare taught me to appreciate a teddy bear with lovely manners.
 
Well, when I went out looking, I wanted a 16.3hh coloured ISH 5yo mare. That is what I got... but I want her to stop the bucking. Early days, early days.

She has the most lovely temperament, I just hope that I can turn her ridden work into my "dream" criteria so she would fill the dream horse catergory :p Oh and I wouldn't have minded if she was put together a little better ;)
 
A mix of TB and sensible pony blood, 15.2hh-16.2hh, any colour. It would have fantastic feet and not need shoes, have a decent jump without dangly legs, and be a general cheery sort :)
 
16hh TB X ID dappled grey. great jumper and good at dressage and XC. Cheeky but not naughty and not scared to jump anything. Oh and will look after me when i ride!

This is hopefully what we are going to have in about 5 years time when our baby has grown up!xxx
 
I have been so lucky and own my dream horse, 16.3hh Grey ID x TB/Shire mare who I have owned since she was 4 and we have done everything from hacking to BSJA to foxhunter to Novice eventing. She has been and is my ideal horse, so genuine, kind and talented all rolled into one, a star, a one in a million. Pity she is now 20 and although still working, has very bad melanomas in her head and neck but when we get the jumps out she still likes to show me who is boss!!! We have never had a refusal and I could count the knock downs on my hands and sorts her own strides out - I have just sat and steered and been very lucky.

I need to find another one in a million but so far no luck but cannot replace her as nothing will compare to her, so while she is still enjoying life I am making the most of this talented star!

Victorianna - dedicated to you!
(god getting soppy now LOL)

I would make him sound again, less quirky to ride and less confrontational.

Other than that I would grow him an inch so he was up to height for cob classes and give him a patch of white on each side of his neck so he could show in CHAPS classes :D
