Really hard taking a picture from the tv! Lots of these horses pulling carriages in this show. Big bums, black mane and tails, small ears.

A chunky PRE?
Could be a traditional Śląski type - they’re the only ‘light’ heavy I can think of - but they tend to have big ears. Also I doubt that film companies are in the habit of buying them.

If I had to guess, looking at the horses on Steve dents page, and going by your description I’d say possibly a Normandy cob. Big bum, little ears. Look at horse 70.

Many of the horses used on TV are Iberian and Baroque types. Could very well be a PRE.
@Cortez any thoughts?

Could be anything, but deffo not a PRE. I think this one was filmed in Czech republic so could be that, or Romanian. It's not a Kladruby either (Czech breed, has pronounced roman nose profile). Dunno, nice horse though.

Yeah? I only thought PRE because one at my previous yard has a head just like that. Mine does not, but it reminded me a lot of that horse, and also another that was there. I personally cannot say what the horse definitely is or isn't. I am, however, going to look up a Kladruby now. I haven't heard of them before.

Romanian cob perhaps.

<< Kladruber. Bay horse in OP's pic doesn't have a PRE head - eyes too round and placed too low; cheek too broad; ears too short and placed too wide: lots of things that are not Spanish. Pretty though CanteringCarrot

Which is what I'd usually say, but there are many "not Spanish looking" PRE's around here. Not "fusions" either. To me it's strange because I like a more traditional Spanish horse head. Some I've seen do have broad cheeks, which isn't my preference (can think of 4 that I know). This horse, upon further inspection, isn't a PRE, I think, but around here there are really some that look like that (the head).
I do love a good Roman nose.

Yeah. Well, what can I say? There are many not-Spanish-looking Spanish horses in the UK, because that seems to be what they like over there. Unfortunately some breeders in Spain are now breeding that sort of horse; can't blame them I suppose as they have to sell horses.....

Ah yes..
Buyer: Yes, I would like a Spanish horse that doesn't look like a Spanish horse. I'll pay.
Seller: Say no more.

Although someone did tell me mine was Spanish but not too Spanish
What a cute chunk of a horse.

He's quite a dark bay, there are lots of them in the programme, all identical, huge bums, definitely a draught type, I'm in love! I'll try for a better pic, I'm going to binge series one tonight now that I haven't got to feed the neighbour.

I would email and ask the people who supplied the horses, I bet they can even tell you which horse it is. I did this once to find a horse that was in the Brothers Grimm and they emailed back really quickly.

This chap supplied the horses. I'd message/email. There are quite a few similar ones on the website
