oh thanks guys im so excited now what kind of temperament do they have in general all the pics are brilliant love the greys

temperament wise with mine you couldnt ask for anything nicer. My equine dentist commented on how friendly (well too friendly) my youngster was when he was doing my horses teeth.
they love to be around you and regularly come for a chat when im poopicking. also very trainable, everything comes very easily with them (at least it does with mine) they also seem to get on with every horse thats been in the field with them - they never cause any bother. id have a ield full of them rather than my 1 WB lol

Here is my new girl, rising 5yo ISH, imported 3 months ago, I bought her on Saturday

She is a huuge leap from my little 15hh warmblood, she's about 16.2/3hh at the moment.

(Yes my stirrups were far shorter in the 2nd photo

)

Will hopefully have many happy years with her

Oh and so far, she has the nicest temperament I have found in a horse- and I don't think I have ever met a horse so easy to please. She has not put her ears back at me once. Not once.

I have and Irish draught not quite an ISH but he has a lovely tempremant and is easily persuaded with food

 

[Clodagh]

Mine...

Shes a bit of a madam and won't take any nonsense but is very friendly and gives you everything if you ask nicely, and bucks you off if you don't!

 

[jensheff26]

Here is Kai my 17hh, 7 year old mare. I have had her since she was a foal. She is very easy to do most of the time. Is good for farriers, vets, dentist. Good to hack alone or in company. She is great to handle on the ground.

But she does have a stubborn streak and when she really doesn't want to do something, she chucks every toy out of her pram!!!

 

[jensheff26]

shes lovely i have a real soft spot for greys

 

[Grey_Showjumper]

mines far from a "typical" ISH so won't put pics! but his temperament is to die for!
Easy to do, but not boring, still has personality.
He jumps like an angel... really lovely horses

Have fun!
