wow! He's amazing! We've got an old 17.2 tb on our yard and he must have been an absolute stunner in his youth - there's something about the size which makes them really striking. Never seen one that big.
That's a long way to get up... And an even longer way to get down
He is gorgeous though... Just good luck keeping him clean
My loan lad is about 16.3/17hh and I find it a long way down dismounting...
And he's a grey (actually looks more white) he is a NIGHTMARE to get clean if I want to take him anywheter.
Next time I'm getting a black 14hh cob
Honestly though wouldn't swap him for anything, he is amazing, if not a little grumpy
