Sparkle - my foster pony

[Paint Me Proud]

Here she is - my little foster pony.

She is supposed to be 9 months and a section A but i am not convinced on either of those.

Any suggestions on age, breed etc

 

[take it easy]

she is very sweet but i wouldnt say she has a typical welsh head, i may be wrong but she doesnt resemble any sec a's i know xxx

 

[WelshD]

If she isnt section A I reckon there is some section A in there somewhere, only the head makes me think she may not be but it is very hairy so could be hiding a dainty face!

She doesnt look leggy enough to me to be that young

 

[DH1]

I don't know enough about various breeds to comment, but I DO know that she is cuter than a cute thing

 

[MrVelvet]

I don't think she's too much older really as she still has her foalie tail and I do think she looks a bit Welsh too.. haha cute though x

eta - look at her tussy pegs

 

[BillyBob-Sleigh]

There's some A in there but she does look a bit leggy - how big is she? She looks like a sweet little thing though

 

[Kellys Heroes]

Very cute!!
She doesn't look to me as others have said dainty enough to be an A unless there's a big winter coat hiding it!!
She also looks older than 9 months too but I wouldn't like to hazard a guess at what age as I'm rubbish at this sort of thing!

she is 10.1hh at the moment

Oh in that case she could well be a pure A just covered in winter fluff , my mum has 2 A's (one she bred from) and she had a very plain head until she started to grow up properly and fill out and her head is now actually very pretty since she's grown into it a bit more! And at 9months she is going through the ugly duckling stage bless her.

Agree with this /\, I would guess she is a yearling, but she looks very much section A to me, think there may be something else in there too though

That colour pattern with black knees is very section a and IMO would say she is heavily leaning towards sec a but....her head looks extraordinarily like my field-sharer's sec b...have no pictures to show just now but will try to take some...not uncommon in the welsh sections to find cross-breeding, whether deliberate or otherwise....

 

[Paint Me Proud]

what sort of adult height should we be expecting? - on the other thread i had guesses between 11h and 13h!

 

[WelshD]

I would say 12.2 or under personally

 

[Spring Feather]

She looks a little older than 9 months to me based on the length of her mane and tail. She looks more like a yearling. Her body is almost Sec A but the head doesn't look Sec A, more like Dartmoor pony. Is there a chance she could be a Dartmoor pony or is she definitely Welsh? The other thing which makes me think more Dartmoor than Welsh is that she has a dorsal which may or may not mean she's a silver/grey dun (not all horses with dorsals are dun). Dun doesn't exist in Welsh ponies. She's cute whatever she is and I think she'll remain small.

I think she will turn out to be more typical section A when she ages a bit - she is only a babby!! She's going through the ugly duckling phase.

it is possible she is a dartmoor - sec A was only suggested due to her size

 

[Paint Me Proud]

also - do you think she is a little over weight or okay?

 

[xXMrsIrishXx]

She looks very much section A to me but i would say she was a little older maybe. We have a 2 year old registered section A and her head shape is similar especially around the muzzle

My friend has a little Welsh A x Traditional mare that looks just like Sparkle.
Who is very cute

 

[Sparkles]

Yearling section A x cob type maybe?
