Great Greys!

[Puppy]

Because I'm a sucker for them

But also, because I'm just watching various old equestrian sports coverage, and admiring many, so thought I would make a thread for them.

I think it appropriate to start with JW & Milton

Followed by a big HUGE favourite of mine,

Nick Skelton and Russell (I want Be to have Russell babies!!

)

And another fave, Tim Stockdale & Corlato

You can't beat a good grey mare

And, before I get too carried away,

On to eventing:

Ringwood Cockatoo with Bettina Hoy

Caroline Powel and Lenamore

Hinrich Romeike & Marius

Mark Todd and Gandalf

And not that I really *do* dressage

, but Andreas Helgstrand and Blue Hors Matine

Oh, and *sneaks this one in*

My favourite grey ever, my girl, Believe

Any more famous nominations?

I am sure I've missed loads, but am rather exhausted and sleep deprived atm

[I love my Spanish horse]

[mazziek]

I think these are two great greys -

Shear H2O

ETA of course I agree with all of the others mentioned. I also like Arielle, William Whitakers ride.

 

[Grey_Eventer]

[lovecharles]

i'd have said my top greys are:

Milton
Blue Hors Matinee
Ringwood Cockatoo (i love that horse)
Rooster Booster
Shear L'eau
Shear H20

all of which have been said so a pointless post really

 

[hotdog]

Balagur ?

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Mine

He's not quite a showjumper, being he freaks at poles.
And he's just at walk & trot level dressage, but he's still great to me

 

[arwenplusone]

Has anyone mentioned Blue Hors Matine? My all time favourite mare.

Oh, and my grey, Yogi is great too of course...

ETA - just actually looked at ALL the photos and realised Matine was indeed in t here. I'm a bit slow this morning...

 

[silvershadow81]

TOTALLY agree! Grey Mares all the way!!

As for the best.......

Multi- talented AND beautiful!!

Sorry, I am bias!!!

xxxx

 

[CorvusCorax]

Love Rooster Booster and Lenamore (bred here!!!!)

 

[ajb123]

How could anyone forget Ian Stark's flying greys! Glenburnie, Murphy Himself or Stanwick Ghost! THE BEST!!!!

 

[golddustsara]

Lovely piccies - greys are the best! Not that I am biased of course. One Man hasn't been mentioned, he was a fab racehorse.

 

[Faro]

Giving my age away a bit now, but one of my favourite all time greys was the late Caroline Bradley's (my childhood heroine) Tigre.

And don't forget - and this time it's nothing to do with my age, because I'm not sure if even my parents were born when that grey horse (name Billy seems to ring a bell, but I can't be sure) controlled the crowds at a famous FA cup final at Wembley in I think it was the 1930s. The new Wembley stadium now even has a bridge called "White Horse Bridge" after him.

 

[BobbyMondeo]

Woa....Those jumps are just stupidly big!!

 

[martlin]

Franke Sloothaak and Cassini

Ludger Beerbaum and Champion du Lys

 

[Rana]

No pics to hand, but Joe Meyer's horse Snip. I love him!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Tim Stockdale had a fab grey called Parcival - other than that my big grey boy.....

 

[Pixxie]

Nick Skelton had one called Lastic who i believe he holds the puissance record with
and Ellen Whitakers Ladina B makes me laugh
Desert Orchid

and as mentioned before
you CANNOT forget the wonderful Blue Hors Matine

 

[tedster]

Mine!!

Is Milton reborn............... I wish LOL!

 

[Coffee_Bean]

I think my favs are
Blue Hors Matine
and Phoebe Buckley's little mare Little Tiger

 

[smirnoff_ice07]

There's something about grey horses i think!
I have 2 greys and they're both daft as brushes!!!

 

[sunflower]

This one hasn't done too badly recently either!

 

[teapot]

The Tormaline Rose - stunning mare
