Gondelier,Ahoy, Patrick ( both sides) Elegant , who is his brother and who he looks very much like(Dam Wendy) , Parcival, Rubus B(Through Ahoy), Amor, Koss (through Amor) , Nimrod is in there too somewhere. I must check. He has 11 of the 16 registered stallions in his line.
Elegant.

Fantastic - so very very similar, just more substantial in the leg. Ahoy has Hoogheid blood, which my girl has lots of too - so they are related :)

Looking more in to my girls breeding, she is very very gelderlander. The Hackney blood is only one sire used twice - everything else is Gelder.

Not a very good photo. It was when I first got her so not much neck or muscle as she had been a broadmare and not in work. She has 4 white socks under the white booties.

I suspect my boy is Gelderlander or at least part - unfortunatley since his passport contains no breeding information, I will never know. Its a German passport, but he was born near the Dutch border. What do people think of the photos below? Its his tail carriage and the line of his back, particularly. But he has no white on him and small hooves, which makes me think he could be a part bred one. He has very strong characteristics common in Gelderlanders too - very independent and not afraid to take decisions to suit himself (such as turning himself out on his own or jumping out), takes a strong like or dislike to people, very quick learner, etc..

Definitely looks like a Gelderlander head. You don't see many bays though, they tend to be chestnut, grey, black or tobiano. He is a handsome fellow what ever he is.

wow what a fab thread, i have two gelderlanders, although not passported correctly so dont know exact breeding, the long and short of it we rescued a mare and foal with phenumonia and 10 months later she gave us another little colt foal - both have fantastic temperment but have taken a long time to mature - just started breaking rups @ 6 and he is so far being an apsolute dream, sunny bum is still maturing away at grass :) i have no idea how to post pics sowwy :)
