Says shes a 10 month old (looks older to me?!) Sire: 16''3 Warmblood x Dam: Shire x Cob 16''1

Do you think she will end up as thick set as a shire? I would be looking at getting something able to compete up to novice dressage and jump unafiliated jumping for fun.

Says shes Well handled, good in stable, ties well, leads out in-hand and comes to call.

Ideas on price? What you would pay?
 
No I dont think she will end up as thick a set as a shire she will be chunky but I dont think as heavy as a shire with all the mix of horse in it, but I May be wrong lol. She is nice though not sure what I would pay though as she is a youngster not really clued up on what they are going for at the min.
 
She has got a hell of a way to go, look at the length of her legs compared to the depth of her girth. They are probably correct with her age, I would look to be paying in the region of £1,400 to £1,700.
 
I thought she looked older till I looked at her head and legs! Looks cute!

Depends what you want her for in the future I guess but not over £1000? x
 
She will end up as being a heavy weight hunter/maxi cob type.

Probably will have one hell of a jump - having a clydie I can assure you that they have a very powerful backend.

Lot of filling out to do, but no way will she be as thickset as a shire, looks like she will a very nice horse and more than able to do dressage, jumping, XC and showing - a good all rounder.

Price - I would have thought anything from £1500 - £3000 depending on the bloodlines.
 
I would take a look, but then I am into big chunky coloureds, though mine will hopefully not be as tall as her, being a gypsy cob. I also love heavy horses - their temperament is normally wonderful.

Having bought a youngster, can honestly say it has been very enjoyable experience, mine is now nearly 3 and just backed - seems like only yesterday I was buying a very hairy yearling.
