Well after Pharaoh was put down I was determined to get an ex racer, preferably about 16hh and a GELDING....
First I ended up with Misty a 37 inch american toy horse x back in february and he's now out on loan. We didn't intentionally get him, we were left with him and at that point I wasn't ready for a new horse.
Well my 16hh ex racer has turned out to be a 2 and a half year old, 3/4 NF 1/4 TB black mare! Pharaoh was 1/2 NF and 1/2 TB and I thought it was a great cross and would have happily had another (after I got the ex racer). We didn't know Sasha's proper breeding (knew she was a part registered NF) until after we decided we wanted her. Spent some time with her tonight and she was an absolute darling, absolutely full of character and after worrying I was making the wrong decision as I didn't want to compare her to Pharaoh (he was my number one horse), I am confident I have done the right thing and I haven't yet compared her at all. They may be very similar breed wise and I may have got her at the same age as him but they are so very different. Anyway, enough of my rambling - here she is!
