Why aren't you sure what to do now? From what I've read here, he has almost certainly come from the continent, not an ad in H&H. But he's here now :)
So if he came from the continent, you may be able to find out his breeding (roughly) by his branding. The pics posted on the EE of the Hungarian Lipizzaners looked unbelievably similar to his, so I think that's the best place to go now :D
 
Am pleased some things have been sorted out for you. It really doesn't matter if he does turn out to be older than the advert stated. Have you had the dentist out? They will be the ones that can give you the most accurate age. Hope you find out some more details about your beautiful boy.

Agree with this.( Have just had a nosey on EE;))

Also, to the OP, you have done a great job with him. Well done.
 
My horse is one of the Lipizzaners on the EE thread. As others have said on there, it seems your horse is very likely to be a Hungarian Lipizzaner with that brand. Lippa on there lives in Hungary and has offered help to you to trace your horse's identity for you, she is your best bet to find out his bloodlines and breeding. She helped me to buy my horse from Budapest, she is very experienced with Lipizzaners and I'd imagine would be your best port of call to find out more about him.

I don't think you will ever know what has happened to him or what he has been through, if I were you I wouldn't torment yourself with it. Just enjoy him for what he is now and find out about his bloodlines.
 
How interesting. OP you have done such a wonderful job for this boy.

I'd contact the lady on the other forum - I guess she would be the most likely to help you progress further.

Lippi's (which I very much agree he probably is) are renowned for being active well beyond other breeds so you might be suprised, although I'd have thought your vet would have been able to give some indication of age.

Best of luck.

maybe get his breeding confirmed and leave it there.

if he is a lipi, dont worry about what yr doing with him, there are incredibley tough horses, he will tell you when its time to slow down.. they are also incredibley intelligent, and can be sharp, so things you may think are him being naughty are proberly infact him out smarting you.



(ive had a lipi and he drove me insane)
 
Tom Bonner told me that he got a lot of horses from Europe, so it's looking more and more likely that you have a Lippi there, particulary as Tom tends to get "confused" over passports. (As proved in court).
I agree with jhoward, don't stress about what he may or may not have been through, but I'd definitely take up that kind offer to find out his origins. Apart from anything else, we're all dying to know!
Happy Christmas, proud owner of a lippizaner.

yes he does try lol on the ground he is perfect but ridden wise when i ask him to move in with inside leg alltho he listens well on that when i ask to trot he dog trot like a shuffle then as i push him on he bucks only a lil flick so i stopped riding him had his back done got new saddle and he still does it untill i realised he was being naughty or trying me and was a bit abrupt and made him listen now he dosn't do it the lil **** lol xx
 
Read alll the replies, good luck with this and he is so lucky to have you!!

I would honestly not take any notice of the passport... my pony was sold with a fake passport.. it was fully intact but it was just completely wrong, wrong name, breeding everything

xx
 
hello everyone again thank you so much for all ur lovely messages about casper and how well u think i have done with him... im gonna ask to close this now and if u do know him ect i'd rather not know im gonna stick to what i have i would still like info on his bredd ppl think he is tho xx i thank everyday i have with him hes such an amazing boy, and by how he is with me im pretty sure he thanks me for having him (even if he is kinda perverted about it lol) i love him more than anything and wouldnt change a single thing with him.... im moving to a smaller yard next week as had a lot of probs with my old horse on my yard now and im still tied with the same brush :( so new year new start, i will still update info of what we do ect have a wicked new vid to put up soonas my phone decided to work lol thank you all again for comments and all of ur help xxxxxxx
 
Hes lovely and what a great job you have done with him. Microchipping wasnt compulsory till about 2000/2001 in the netherlands if hes got a KWPN passport this makes sense that he was born before then. He could then have moved to another country in his early life meaning he never got a chip? possible .

If hes healthy and happy dont worry about his age he will tell you what he can and cant do you sound like a sensitive owner who will do whats best for him.
