Just curious really and would like to swap notes on breeding temperament etc.

I don't have one myself but I used to share one. Fantastic horse, I loved him to pieces (still do and am trying to persuade the owner she wants to sell him!). He can be a spooky twit sometimes and lazy other times, but he's got lovely paces and is doing well at novice dressage with his owner, they're moving up to elementary when I manage to persuade her! He also has a fab jump (he SJed in Holland pretty well, until he started bucking violently due to his saddle/ back issues) and is such a confidence giver, he had me jumping almost 3' SJ courses (which was a BIG thing for me).
I have no idea what his breeding is though!
 
Don't have a full danish WB but my foalie's sire is 50% Danish 50% TB so I guess she is a 1/4 danish!
Stallion was v laid back - foalie iis a bit full of it but she's brave, she's only 9months and actually copes really well with everything.

Beautiful floaty paces. Very correct but not as huge as you see in the international arenas these days. He's working at PSG. Lovely jump as well, makes a lovely shape (at least when im not on him)

He can be quite intimidating as while hes quite lazy for someone who's prepared to really ride him. He can be very very sharp for anyone whos slightly nervey

I love the danish warmbloods, then again, im somewhat bias of course ;p
 
My lovely ILPH horse, Henry is Danish. He is the sweetest, kindest, most polite horse I've ever met. He does have a sense of humour sometimes but it's never malicious, just has a skip about sometimes!!!

Spider's (my coloured colt for those unfamiliar), dam is a double branded Danish mare, so that makes him half Danish.....does that count?

He is also really sweet, although very sensitive.

Henry is by Helenos, who was actually a TB but graded or licensed for Danish breeding, out of a mare called Salome who I have no info on.

I have heard it said that the May Sherif stock can be a bit sharp but if you get them on your side they are wonderful. I've been told that it's best to have May Sherif on the dam's side but I've no idea if that's true or not!
