I used to ride a shire x tb, absolutely fantastic paces and jump, and much more friendly personality than a WB (which he was always being mistaken for).
Add my name to the list... I'd be fine if I was taller... by my reckoning if I was 7ft2, I would be the perfect weight! Nice to know Im not alone, although probably at the top end of the scale *sob*
Me too! I'm a larger lady and I also have a shire x tb (last one in my sig, bit small tho) although he's only hacked out occassionally now due to ringbone but I would have another in an instant. You should've seen some of the looks and comments I got at BSJA going into the ring on a "cob" he's not a cob, I also have a cob so know the difference!
Anyway, welcome to the forum, your horse is absolutely lovely and I'll be next in line to have him if you ever find yourself having to find him a new home!
Hi! I only signed up a couple of days ago so am a newbee too! Would also class myself as a 'larger rider' and don't give a stuff about it and neither should you! Horsey looks brilliant, you've done so much with him, lucky you!! I have a 16hh warmblood mare but she is going on loan soon to be replaced by a lovely ID! Must get some piccys up, maybe I will be brave now too and do a formal introduction!
