Gorgeous horses! Always liked them since I found out they were called Chapman horses years ago (little bit of surname pride).

If I were to buy a horse I'd love to looks at one of these around the 15.2hh range. I'm a pony person but I'd make an exception for these.
Love the build, there's a such a "classic" look to them. You could imagine them out hunting 200 years ago!

I have a 15hh part-bred spitting image of her CB yummy mummy. Her stable name is Rottwieler, when we sell her we will advertise her as a St. Trinians escapee. We do love her though.

There was an amazing part-bred on the UK Pony Eventing Team, by the stallion Baydale Juryman - how he sired a pony is a mystery.
 
Very interesting thread, I ride a CBxTB, although I suspect she is more on the TB side going off her bone.

Surely these horses would not look out of place as MW/HW Hunters at county shows, and they ooze presence and quality (I think anyway), or have they been over taken by ID's and ID x's?

Welly has said it all on my other thread with Hattie, doing 20km endurance. One of our mares (sadly lost to colic) qualified for the Scottish Masters as a small hunter. She was a star in the show ring.

As Welly has said not enough CB's compete with other horses in the show ring. Too many are just used for breeding.

I note that SHGB have a new hunter class for older and younger riders. If we can make it I plan to send three pure bred mares to the UK next year to strut their stuff. The dam and four year old daughter in this thread plus Hattie who is pictured on my other thread.

I also have two ShGxCB and a CBxShG due next year.
 
Joulsey, when I have loaded onto photobucket some more pics of other CB's at two shows in the SE.

This year's tally.

So far 16 pure breds in UK and 8 overseas for this year. It just shows how important overseas breeders may be for the survival of the Cleveland Bay.
