Ohhh babies, arnt they just the sweetest.

Excuse my ignornace but whats a spanish norman??

 

[Persephone]

Such a sweetie!

A Spanish Norman is produced in the first instance by crossing a Percheron mare to an Andalusian stallion. Very popular in the states now but new to the UK.

He is so cute, will he stay that kind of colour or will he gray out in due course??

 

[Taffster]

Ohh thanks for that, sounds like he'll be a little stunner!!!

 

[ladyt25]

Lovely, are those ones in your sig (bar the last one!) the same crosses or are they the mares/sires (ie the full bred)?

I assume that's likely to go grey is it?

 

[clair]

Yes he will grey out, the horses in my sig, the first is his sire then Samara two year old S/N then her brother yearling S/N and lastly Samara as a foal with her Dam.

Spanish Normans look lovely! I have a Spanish Norman, well he is half andalusian and he's called Norman - so does that count?!

The other half is TBx New Forest, and he was an odd bay colour to start with, and is now a weird grey dun who goes a slightly brown grey dun in the summer.

Lovely though, when can I order one?!

Stencliface, I sadly have to sell this boy, was hoping for a little girl from this mare as would have liked to retain it.

I have sold just one colt from this stallion, he is now in Germany. xx
