[Kallibear]

Oooh, i love heavies. Some beatiful horses (and some very fat ones too )

Kalli 16.3ish of stroppy but loveable clydesaleXTB

The lovely Pink who is perfect in all ways The horsey world would be a much nicer place if there were more Pink's in it!

And not forgetting HisSuperCutenes Piper who would also be perfect if he'll just grow another 2"

This is my cob George, not sure he is classed as heavyweight as apart from his lovely feathers he doesn't look that heavy! But i love him and his feathers so thought i would show him to you!
Can anyone guess what his breed might be? we don't have a clue!

he doesn't really have a very cobby face:

lovely feathers blowing :

he gets lovely white highlights in spring/summer!:

his winter look:

love this pic!:

George looking nice and trim at a show:

sorry for the photo overload but i absolutely love him! any ideas to what he may be?

Id love to see some pictures of your weight carrying horses, nice big chunky types.

Post please

This is Lofty - 5 yo - 17hh - 10.5" of bone. Sire is RID, dam was TBxPercheron.

And Rambo - 5 yo ID stallion - 17.1hh and 10" bone.

And Big Daddy - 17.1 RID stallion, 10.25" of bone - proving that there's no fool like an old fool (he's 19)

They're my biggest - and when they're standing on your foot, they're plenty big enough!

This my Clydesdale mare Wishaw Serenity. I've owned her since she was 6 mths old and she is now 7. I love her to bits. She has bred two beautiful foals, one to a Holsteiner and the other to a TB

I would say very definately Clydesdale or Clydesdale X - he has a very similar face to my girl who is bred from the old fashioned farm working stock. They are smaller and prettier than the current Clydesdales. Modern Clydesdales have Shire in them to increase height and the Shires have Clyde in them to improve feather quality.

thanks

the first and fourth pics he looks the spit of a welshie mare I know (not saying he looks like a girl ) so would say that was a poss +something heavier/hairier. He looks great fun though

This is my Percheron X before the snow stopped us hunting.

 

[FanyDuChamp]

QR

Fany Du Champ etc.
A true heavy, she is an Ardennes (trait Ardennais) used by Julius Caesar, well not her personally, she is only 14. 14-2hh of pure power. They were used for logging in forest and are still know as foresters, although Fany is from showing lines. Her breed is not to be mixed with the horses bred for meat.

My boyfriends new horse clyde x cob

Who I conveniently found for him.

Hes only 3.5yrs old broken bombproof to ride and drive. Going back to long reining him this winter and then put a small plough behind him in spring and then a mower end of next summer. Then find him a pair ...

I have a lookalikey also completely bombproof, not sure of breeding though!

 

[Oberon]

I'm really sorry but I don't know how to post pics.

This is The Tank - Ardennes x ID (with a smattering of WB and TB)

I have a Clydesdale x ID he is stunning, moves like a big welsh cob with the high knee action, he came to us as a rescue case and although I backed him and rode him for a few months we decided he wasnt safe enough to ride due to mental issues from his previous life. So he is now a pasture ornament, living out his retirement and will never go anywhere else.
I dont have any ridden pics of him which is a shame but have plenty of out in the field just being a horse pics if anyone is interested.

Monty, my 4 year old Clydesdale x cob. Approx 16.3hh

Some seriously stunning horses on this thread guys!

 

[ColandMe]

Little Ted, not so heavyweight but chunky, 3yrs old approx 15.1hh atm.

Charlie, 16.3hh Clydesdale he's 17 now, I was given him when he was 6. He's an absolute star.

My friend Jo riding him, she hadn't ridden in many, many years and he really looked after her.

Looking a bit tubby in first pic, that was taken quite some time ago, he has lost considerable weight and looks better for it. Please ignore the short tail, he was on loan at the time and she decided to trim him!!
