Oh yeah, they love a good lippi. Lots of wonderful horsemen/women there though

This is a stud that breeds Spanish driving horses https://www.spanishhorsebreedersuk.co.uk/brecknock-stud.html#

Yes a lippi would definitely be on the books as they’re the second most popular breed internationally I’d think, behind the massive variation that falls under ‘warmblood’. Spanish I’ve seen mixed success with (treading lightly as I know they have many fans here!) some don’t seems to have the ‘guts’ to really go all out, whilst moving forwards, over a longer distance. But would certainly consider one.

Ironically she competes with a lightweight warmblood type now... I don’t think she’s breeding anymore

Hungary is a possibility (have competed there) but their adverts are usually a bit.... unusual.

Anyone more used to looking at spanishes have much to say about this guy? The video doesn’t do it many favours for the British/sports market..!

https://www.ehorses.com/lipizzaner-...es-working-equitation-sentjernej/1924068.html This little guy looks fun- not sure if it’s driven yet or just potential.
Also found a 3yo 147cm Dutch NF- do we think a 3yo pony (May born) will grow a little...?!

He looks kind, putting up with a lot, would need to go back to basics as he has no rhythm established and that may impact on how he drives as a single, he is very similar in type to the mares my friend has, the one I have been working with has the same get on with it attitude and is also remarkably tolerant of her riders lack of balance at times, theirs have the same type of hind leg which having seen the xrays of one would probably put me off buying and would definitely recommend xrays if you do get as far as vetting.

Not keen on the PRE's back end, but really like the look of that grey

Has anyone tried to ‘properly’ school a cob with a traditional/heavy horse Confo/pointed croup? I’m not anti a cob if it can do the job but the only cobs I’ve dealt with had normal shape back ends!

Cortez might be able to help if Iberian is your thing. Do you like Welshies? All knees and snorting?

As long as they do actually go forwards! 2 of the 3 phases of driving rely on them covering the ground at a set speed so they do need to actually get there not just show off.

Totally off base here as the horse is in Slovenia and I have no idea of the sellers reputation:

Then again, I like myself a good "solid" guy such as this one.

To be honest, at least in my personal experience, Iberians aren't the greatest at having a ground covering stride. I'm sure you could find "the right one" but may need to do a bit more sorting than with other breeds.

I wouldn't waste my time at your level. It makes them weak behind. I just cant see any sort of heavy cob doing the levels you do though so may be biased

I might know of one. Smart little horse quite a high percentage of Spanish, but probably has a bit more extension that most Spanish types. Hes 5 or 6 and about 15.1hh. Kerry Copas started him last autumn and he's done no driving since so well started and not ruined. I really liked him. Let me do some digging and see if he's still available

I’m suspecting the fact even the Spanish don’t really compete Spanish horses at top levels of driving very often is a bit of a clue

Yeah, most of the ones used in competition seem to be cross bred
