Having spent over a decade only riding - and generally being around - performance bred WBs, I’ve just taken the plunge on a young Irish horse with unrecorded/unverified breeding. He seems to have correct (but not flashy or extravagant) paces, carries himself in good balance, and I like the way he is put together (underneath all the hair) - though he isn’t what you’d describe as refined. I’m hoping he’ll also have the honest Irish temperament/attitude towards life, though he’s young and unproven, so time will tell.
I’m interested to hear from those who have also moved from a flashy WB to a more workmanlike type and whether you miss the bigger movement etc? Any regrets?
Just general curiosity really, and something to spend time pondering during lockdown!
