You are correct. Wouldn't be my choice of horse either, too big.

 

[nikkimariet]

Bay/brown. Light leggy build. Gelding. Plenty of blood.

Histopathological joke...I like things pink and blue.

that was my childhood, except in black and white in those days. The beach at Blackpool, the beach at Bridlington and Roundhay Park which had the best donkeys as you didn't get led.

The colour below but on a strapping 18hh ID gelding, leg in each corner, good brain, nice person to be around - ideally no white markings and a bit of movement.
So basically a slightly larger/mature version of the horse I have, just a different colour in an ideal world.




Edited to add: the big bay hunter that I believe @AdorableAlice has posted before now that did top showing (my memory is rubbish, sorry if it wasn't you!) absolutely makes me swoon every time!

 

[FitzyFitz]

These are my two, as you can see I don't have a type AT ALL.

I love a native or native cross arab, no bigger than 14.2, preferably a tiny bit unhinged with plenty of get up and go!

@Cloball Is that Knavesash Gold Fever?

We were only saying the other day that a friend's horse looks just like him and has the same rug!

 

[humblepie]

Can't post a picture but classic deep bay thoroughbred although have had a gorgeous grey thoroughbred and a very successful chestnut thoroughbred as well. There is a theme there though....

It is I think he's a bit of a hunk. I would have loved a roan new forest when I was shopping but there's not many this far north.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

I thought it was, saw him at the breed show last year. I had 3 roan NF's at one point. Love them.

 

[Cloball]

@Peregrine Falcon I learnt to ride on a saint of a new forest he was a proper Barbie golden pony.

 

[HorseyTee]

I like a big hairy chunky coloured. Always turn my eye.
And I'm lucky enough to have exactly that (excuse his wonky clip, he gets sweaty even in winter).

 

[visa_bot]

Stunning! not sure I have a type, but I do like a nice head. My horses have all been very pretty or handsome.

 

[shortstuff99]

Not counting my own horses (as they're all perfect )

Then this guy



And this one

 

[J_sarahd]

Bay sporty type with white face markings

I guess I managed to buy one of those

 

[Nudibranch]

Couldn't find a picture but a proper, old fashioned, rangy, roman nosed hunter type with big ears and excellent feet. Closest I've got was my CB, she was a horse in a million.
I do like the more traditional Friesians but I've "settled" with a big Dales. Less issues hopefully.
I don't like Barbie ponies. So no idea why I have a completely useless, total diva of a dun Sec A in the field...

 

[LEC]

Athletic, talented, great breeding, nice person and bay.

 

[maya2008]

Apparently, I fall for ginger (chestnut or bright bay) quirky mares with a giant attitude, who like to worry/run around a lot and therefore need more feed than the average for their breed.

Horse 1) Chestnut TB mare. Needed a ton of work or the aerial acrobatics appeared, was frankly dangerous when coming off box rest but the most loyal, kind friend ever. Needed 4x a day feed in spring/autumn and lots of rugs.

Pony 2) Overdramatic part Welsh D bright bay mare. Also fond of the aerial acrobatics. Also rather likes work (in-hand so far), and guess what? Is dropping weight at the far end of winter. Now granted they’re on 50:50 straw/hay mix with minimal rugging, but my NF in the same field is positively not at all skinny, and Welsh A the same!

Such a beautiful type - so hard to find these days.

As a child I was always drawn to the pink nose a kind eye of a cob that regularly featured in Pony Magazine. As a teenager it was the lighter faster types. Funnily enough at the age of 14 I ended up with a piebald cob with a pink nose and blue eyes. Not overly heavy built, part native pony I reckon. I wouldn't have been with anything else. As I got older and often fancied a second one, I thought, yes that would be nice as I looked at lighter built types. Nothing too sporty though. However, I now have yet again, another piebald with pink nose and blue eyes! Albeit this one has much more hair and has feather! So I guess my type is pink nose and blue eyes!

 

[dottylottie]

my dream would be a buckskin tobiano, arab x welsh, 14-15.2hh gelding. more of a hunter stamp than a show pony stamp!

easier to find type would be a dun/buckskin section D or connie GELDING!! no more mares! maybe controversial but i do really like the new stamp of sporty connemaras, i think they definitely have a place in todays market…as long as there’s still traditional stamps around! i’d personally go for a traditional true-to-type 14.2, but if i had the money i’d have both

(i love mares in their own right and absolutely adore the bones of mine, but i just love a dopey daft gelding)

 

[Zoeypxo]

Valegro size and build but in chestnut form , and a mare

 

[Gloi]

I like solid native types, but I like gaited ones. However this is what I've fancied for ages though I'm unlikely to get one.
