I'm curious to know what breed you think my horse may have in her. She is registered with farmkey as half TB. As shes 16.2hh I'm assuming the other half is some sort of warmblood but I have no idea what type and I'd love to find out.

Any ideas on breed? She has a TB brain and TB paces - nice too look at but not flashy, Her legs are quite fine but she has quite big feet and a tendency to put on muscle quickly. She was bred to event if that helps.

I'd have guessed ID too, big feet aren't a very warmblood thing, and they aren't much at eventing (thats generalising)

but not great at these things
 
She is very similar in size and shape to my Trakehener/TB part bred. Here is a pic of her with her foal aged 1 day.

ID was my initial thought too but she used to have a pure ID as her field mate and they didn't really have anything in common (ID had a very big head and front end in general which I believe is a fairly common trait although i could be wrong) which made me wonder... any other suggestions?


ETA what a gorgeous horse in that picture! she is beautiful and they do look quite similar

My first thought was how a like they are around the back end. Being in foal built her up, but normally she has a sloping bum which is quite a TRak trait. I will see if I can load a pic with out baby fat! Intersetingly she is pb Irish TB

This boy is TB x ID and looks nothing like my horse who is also TB x ID - they come in all shapes and sizes. If I didn't know the breeding of this one I would have guessed a TB x warmblood mainly because of his head and round bottom!

My Belgian Warmblood always looked like a chunky TB.

Before I looked at the other posts I thought yours could be a ID x TB too.
 
I'd go with ID too. Although the new horse that has arrived at my yard looks like a little racing TB - but is actually full WB. So who knows!
