So to entertain myself whilst my spotted friend is off sick (hopefully not for long - lame, possibly abcess or bruising) I have been thinking 'what if I had a spare?' I don't really have time or energy to keep 2 horses fit enough to do the kind of work we usually do so this is really a diversion BUT I have long fancied something a bit Welshy (a larger section D). It's all that flamboyance, hair and attitude I guess; I always was a fan of glam rock!! My current partner is a 16hh sort of spotted warmblood - plenty of arab and tb there so athletic, sharp, speedy and sensitive but has a great brain, loves getting out and learning and doing stuff. He is completely sensible except when he is not IYSWIM. I adore every particle of him. He is, on the other hand, quite high maintenance (though I was clearly put on this earth for the express purpose of keeping him happy, healthy and sound). If I had a 'spare' and it was a bit Welshy, what would my experience be like? I have heard that they can be a bit 'quirky'...e Are they sound and easy sort of beasts, trainable and adaptable or should I look elsewhere for 'spare' fun? Previous experience has been with more 'Irish' sorts and rather varied tbh.
