opinions please

this is a horrendous photo, his head looks huge! i promise its not lol but do i look too big on him? he is only young (4 we think) so may fill out a bit more but dont think he wil grow much height wise, maybe another inch or so as he is bum high slightly atm

any guesses on his breed would be useful, got told cob but there is little feather and he isnt stocky so i guessd a native type like a fell or something as he isnt that big and doesnt have a "cob" face

Lol yes that is a pretty horrendous pic, but i wont say too much as ive taken some dire ones over the years. Anyway, no i dont think you look big on him, he does look like a real baby though, so should fill out a fair amount

 

[asommerville]

i think you look ok

and that little ponio has a lot of filling out to do, he'll be a solid wee thing! bet he surprises you. i dont think hes cobby but not too! good on the pony breeding so cant say much on that

 

[Pearlsasinger]

No you're not too big for him.
My guess is that he's WelshxNF, perhaps with a bit of something else thrown in.

oh no not welsh, i have a high aversion to them after my last horse was part welsh and contained all the bad traits and hardly any of the good! lol

 

[emma.is]

no, not really you look very skinny so he looks like he can deff take you

 

[Welshie Squisher]

He's a cutie, and no you're not too big and he will grow and become stronger.
I think he may have a drop of welsh blood also but i'd see that as good, my section D is verging on angelic at present

 

[caroline23]

my friend who hopped on him first was 6ft so deffo know he can be a bit of weight carrier! lol not sure how chunky he will get though?

 

[indie999]

Ditch your big wellies and you look fine on him(your wellies are bigger than both of you)!. Yes not good pic

 

[caroline23]

my part welsh was extremly strong, and could be v.opinionated at times

however he was a good jumper which i believe came from his welsh side...i just hope this little fella doesnt grow up to be like that! lol

 

[starryeyed]

You look fine on him He's a cutie!

 

[AmyMay]

He's too small for you - as opposed to you being too big for him.

He's possibly got a bit of growing to do, and certainly some filling out.

But you're light, and it shouldn't be a problem for him to carry you.

 

[forestfantasy]

Agree with Amymay - also i'd be dubious about him being 4 - looks younger to me or just a little undernourished.
A good EDT will help you establish his age

 

[POLLDARK]

My vote is a Forest bred New Forest as some those are not as fine as the stud bred ones. he will fill out & come together as time goes by, looks like he will be smart.
