Just not normally my type of horse AT ALL, but how cute is that little fella? I've been looking at him all day.

 

[Pixxie]

me too i want him so much

[Ranyhyn]

I cant stop looking at him - he's delightful!

 

[miss_c]

Yup I saw him and thought he was gorgeous! A tad pricey imo though!

 

[Lucy_Nottingham]

hes such a cutie!!!

 

[burtondog]

I saw this one too. So cute.

How big do Welsh D's typically grow to ?

 

[Madam_max]

I 'thought' about 14.2-15hh although ( I maybe wrong I don't know if there is an upper limit for showing????)

 

[ester]

no upper height limit on a D so depends on the parents! mines 14.2 I believe fihunts is 14.3 or 15

I saw an add for a 17hh welsh D. I'm sorry, anything over 15.2 is not a section D. They lose all type and look nothing like they should

Disagree completely

Deane Valley breed some amazing welsh D's, they have two stallions just over 16hh and theyre amazing

It dpends how a welsh D is bred wether it can pull it off or not. They need to be cobbier with lots of bone imo.

that foal is mine mine mine. i saw him first. get your greedy eyes off... all of you...

p.s. i think decent section ds over 15.2 are hard to find. but i have seen a gorgeous 16.1 section d before so they are out there. like someone said above, they need to have lots of bone to maintain that welshness.

love em all!

I spotted him earlier! My mum said no.

 

[trendybraincell]

hmmm...Kent, think he's probably from the Taraco stud, they specialise in duns, palominos and cremellos.

If it is them, I think one of their best stallions was out of action all last year from a broken neck and was virtually paralysed.

 

[miss_c]

Yup you're right Ester! Genie's 14.3 1/2hh! There's one I see regularly at local shows that is 15.3hh, but doesn't look it. Must admit I'm personally not too keen on them any bigger than that, although the upper hight limit has been removed...

 

[TheFarrier]

I think trendybraincell is right
