Is this a TB?

[Scheherezade]

Not sure of breeding. Horse is 5 and out of work since backing.

 

[lucy1984]

partly maybe, looks a bit too 'nativy' to be a full tb??

 

[JDChaser]

TB x i'd say

 

[KingCharles]

dosnt look like a full tb to me.

 

[monkeybum13]

TB cross

 

[goneshowjumping]

yeah ide def say its crossed with something, cant put my finger on what its crossed with though, i really dont think its full TB though.

 

[treena]

too much feather for a tb

 

[Judziah]

I would say part bred too...at most 3/4 TB would be my guess.

 

[skewby]

How big is he??

 

[faerie666]

TBs come it all sorts of shapes and sizes, so he could well be.

 

[Scheherezade]

He's 16.1

Yea, my friend argues he is bog standard common TB, but I think there's welsh or ID in there.

 

[Montyforever]

Tb x Newforest. Ive seen one that looks identical!

 

[Parkranger]

tenner says he's connie x tb

 

[Snowysadude]

it looks like the 4 selle francais (sp?) on our yard that are in not much/no work at the moment

 

[Scheherezade]

Just to add he normally has more feather but it has been lopped off!

 

[Parkranger]

too big to be a NF x TB I'd say......

 

[millyspaniel]

I wouldnt say he was full TB

 

[Snowball]

I'll have a tenner on TB X
Def not full

Lovely though

 

[LadyRascasse]

i would say that is a cob X TB. they use cob mares to teach young stallions how it works and that looks like the outcome, we have 2 on our yard and that horse is very similar in build to them

 

[KingCharles]

ive seen some chinkier NH tb's i had one myself. She was classed as an irish tb and was what you could almost describe as a hw tb. However she had longer legs and no feather at all. Tb's do come in all shapes and sizes, but most of these tb's we see are generally not full papered tb's. just something that has a lot of tb and something else chucked in. It could be an id x tb or matbe there is some native in there that is a throwback. does he have any papers? what does his passport say?

 

[Tamba]

yep, lovely..
but I would go with the cob or 1/4 shire X thbred too,
I have a 3/4 1/4 id, much bulkier and no feather at all,
so I dont think its id.

 

[charliesarmy]

He look identical to my sisters old horse and he was Tbx Welsh Sect D ...

 

[toomanyhorses26]

my nf x tb x id was 17.3hh and looked alot like the horse in question - had a whale of a time entering him in part bred m and m classes

 

[FanyDuChamp]

ISH? Looks like on Elizabeth learnt to ride on.

 

[annret]

Not a full TB - I would say he is too deep in the girth and short in the leg for that, even for a substantial TB.

Agree with the ISH idea; also have seen french trotters with feather.

 

[tasteofchristmaschaos]

Tb x cleveland bay?

Exactly - CONNIE x TB (instead of the normal ID X)

Lots of pure and part-bred IDs have feather and the cross often throws to the TB. When I went to see this mare (as a potential hunt horse) I was told she was full TB.

I didn't think anything of it when I saw her. When I got her passport I found out she was IDSH - by an RID stallion out of a TB mare (who also produced Bazaar's Texas.)

Her foals by my RID stallion are more like a 1st cross - this is one of them (just turned 3)

I was a bit surprised, I confess, when she graded AID (so if she has a filly foal by an RID stallion it would be eligible RID on inspection)

So - I wouldn't put money on the breeding of the horse in question. But I'd guess possibly 3/4 TB with the balance being ID or Welsh Cob.

This is Amy who is TB x Welsh Cob

Our two TBs (National Hunt bred) are chunkier than that and with more feather than that. I've known full TBs of a similar stamp to this chap, and I've known part TBs and warmbloods of a similar stamp.

Without the papers, he could be anything. One thing is for sure - he's a nice looking horse, whatever breeding he is.
