'strange' breed combination?

[CouldItBe]

This is my Connie x Welsh D and also she of the levitating cob post

Appaloosa x Belgian Warmblood, he’s 3 next year. A very very chilled out sweet boy! He’s currently standing 16hh at the front and 16.2 at the rump! I hope he is as easy to back as he is as easy for everything else we’ve done.

I had a welsh x Kwpn.
He was incredibly beautiful to look at but dangerous to ride.
He got the worst of both breeds, the fire of the welsh and the brain of the warmblood. The shher bloody mindedness of both breeds. Combine it with the athleticism of the WB and the power of the welsh.

A friend must have had the opposite halves to yours. Hers is incredible - he's retired from eventing now (still does a lot of riding club at 22) but went up to intermediate with an amateur rider who had never done it before. He was brave as a lion, eager to please, very clever and talented...under saddle at least.

He's a PITA on the ground. He has to be first one out in the morning or he climbs out. He can't be left on his own anywhere but will go anywhere on his own. You can turn him out on his own and he'll be happy all day but you can't take friends away from him. If he goes to camp with anyone from the yard you have to arrange for his lessons to be at the same time as his friends or he'll jump out of the stable and go and find them. He climbed over the breast bar and out of a 505 through the jockey door because he saw his friend walk past. He's bad with any friends but particularly attached to my old share horse. At one camp, my friend and I were mucking out. I had the wheelbarrow across M's door (he'd never go anywhere) and B was tied to the door frame of M's stable. M was 3' away and it wasn't good enough. He untied his leadrope (his speciality, he can untie ANY knot) jumped the wheelbarrow and cwtched up to M in his stable.

Reeco was amazing on the ground, do anything with him, but it took us 3 years and many hospital trips to get him under saddle

Not necessarily true! I have a traditional Gelderlander, jumps 1.10s and schools at medium. Incredible adjustable stride, so much power and very level headed. Maybe I was very lucky with him, but i would highly recommend the breed for riding horses!

This is why I said "careful", rather than "don't". There are indeed some lovely ones - most of them not possessing the harness Gelderlander conformation, which is what makes them uncomfortable as riding horses - flat croup, herring gutted, upright shoulders and high set, verging on ewe neck. Yours is lovely, and doesn't look to possess any of those conformation traits.

Mine is an American National Show Horse (Arab x saddlebred) crossed with a Welsh D. He definitely displays all three breeds - 'Today, Matthew, I am going to be.....'. He's a lovely 'person' and with the hell that has been this year I have really appreciated the Wolfie hugs.

There is a Morgan horse called moss rose triumphant that I think would be an awesome off the wall cross

Wow isn’t he lovely!
