Just got a 4 year old and just interested whether he will have any more filling out to do?
Interested in what everyone does with theirs hoping mines going to be nice allrounder.
Feel free to add pics!
 
I got Badger when he was 6 and he was a skinny been - he's just got bigger and stronger every year! He's a super big power pack now! He can do the odd stupid thing but is generally a good boy and he can do everything:-) gotta love a bit of IDxTB!:)
 
Awesome. In a word.

My boy is mainly TBxID but has 25%anglo arab, and hes just now matured at 7. Weedy little toad at 4.
Then we have some straight cross IDxTB's and again, fantastic. Love them.
 
ISH no1 roughly half ID half TB. Gorgeous stroppy honest creature! Love her to bits. A general good middleweight.

ISH no2. 3/4 of him is half ID half TB, the other 1/4 is holstein. Looked like a TB at 4, but with a wide frame. Now eight and still filling out! An elegant powerful hunter type with long comfy stride. Gorgeous nature and generally speaking v easy, but if in a strop, is very strong and lets you know about it!

My ID x TB - Fanblinkintastic.
Done lots of everything, genuinely nice, easy loving wonderful horses. Best ever, cant be beaten. Top horses.
Not sure what else to say...
 
I've got a 2yr old ID (Eastern Hero) x TB.

In a word: cute. He's easy going, sweet and polite, very laid back and THE noseiest horse possible.

He's also the biggest gangliest weed possible. I'm HOPING he turns out similar to Honey08's chestnut gelding.

Absolutelyfantastic.

My ID x TB is the bestest, honest can be a spooky prat but means nothing by it gorgeous boy ever! His only 15.1 so not huge but nicely put together and getting chunkier as his getting muscle in the right places now. :)
 
I still have my 15.2 TBxID who was my step up from my pony. In her day she was incredible. We did everything, although dressage was never a strong point! PN eventing, WH Champion, all PC activities, galloping for the PC at Bramham Horse Trials, RC teams etc. She was never the bravest over a big fence (BE PN was her limit), but was unbeatable in a jump off. I have never know a horse so fast and careful, I think she must have learnt the JO course as she always knew where we were going, and could turn on a sixpence! She is very intellegent. In fact when we bought her (she was 10) the vet advised us not to buy her, not beacuse there was anything physically wrong, but beacuse she was so intellegent he thought she would take advantage of me being a little kid coming off a 13.2 native! Needless to say we bought her anyway and never once regretted it! Picture from my youth!

Now she is doing some small bits and pieces with my Mum as her brain is so active she want to be doing things despite being a little arthritic in her old age.
 
Prepare yourself for a long life together :D My friends IDxTB is 15.2hh and now 33years old and still going strong. Only fully retired a year ago :) In her day she was a brill hunting horse, could do a nice dressage test and had a nice jump but also has attitude and her own ideas, she's a very demanding, determined old lady now :D
Here's her still in work last year:

We've got an 18 year old 17.2 ID x TB he use to jump at olympia before we had him. He carries my novice Dad quite happily plodding along minding his own business and with me he will happily clear unaffiliated Open SJ courses and be a complete and utter muppet about it all. We love him to pieces and wouldn't swap him for the world. He is an all rounder (accept xc) and will take anyone of all abilities from 13 year old intermediate rider to my 50 year old novice dad. Would have another in a heart beat!
 
Ive got a 5 yo id x anglo arab and hes jyst amazing! His brain seems to gave only matured in the last 6 mintgs and when hes in a bad mood you know about it! He has a fantastic nature and now hes grown up is sooo honest and trusting
 
Mine is ¾TB ¼ID, and like most of them, he's kind, loving, cheeky, intelligent, the list goes on. He's a quick learner and remembers what's he's learned without constantly needing his memory refreshed. Does decent flatwork and is a good jumper :D
 
Hopefully he will be a good one then hes only 4 but out hacking he has seen everything and none of it seems to bother him but we do like to jog a long a lot ang lean against his bit he has been in a waterford though so think i need to get one
 
Mine is 7/8th TB and only 1/8 ID. He is very brave, laid back and loves to jump. He learns quickly and can be cheeky. Never nasty thou. I got him and 5 and he didn't fully mature physically til about 6. Mentally he is still a baby :)

Jay loved to lean, he was a total bugger for it, he went fab in a hanging cheek waterford.
He would hack past anything barr butterflys/soilders/push bikes and geese!
 
This is my ID x TB broodmare
photo2-3.jpg


Not the best photo but she is bloody brilliant. Perfect conformation and temperament, she took a novice rider who had been riding for 2 years up to BE novice, and won points!

She is by Bohemond out of an ID mare, and has given me two wonderful foals. I was hoping to get one more foal, but she didn't take last year so she is now retired
 
Big, bold and beautiful. Sadly also broken. She is the favourite of my 3 horses (feel guilty admitting that!). Great brain and a dream to sit on. It broke my heart to retire her.
 
Merlin (straight IDxTB) is... well... Like others have said of the breed; very nosy. If we're out hacking and see a skip, he has to inspect it. And peer through people's windows and into their cars. He's cheeky (but in a good way) loving and loveable, smart, grubby, greedy, can be lazy and will, on the very rare occasion, turn from being a dope-on-a-rope into a fruit-loop. Adores jumping and showing off his extended trot and sees 'walking on a loose rein' as an excuse to look like a dying donkey. He's 17 and I've been privileged to know him for 7 years.

I know him like no other horse I've owned and worship the ground the lazy s*d trots on.
