What breed/mix do you think??

[bumper]

My 4YO has unknown breeding..what do you think he is...I am not going to tell you what it says on his passport lol!

 

[redcascade]

Appaloosa x TB maybe a bit of welsh in there somewhere? I don't know, I'm useless at these things
ETA Lovely horse by the way

 

[Doncella]

I'd say TB x Appaloosa.
I worked for a woman 30+ years ago and she had a leopard spotted stallion who was 15/16TB, she crossed him with TBs and natives to produce some very useful outcrosses.

Yes, clearly appy, but I always thought that was a colouring, not a breed type, correct me if I am wrong!

I am just really curious! He is very close coupled, paws the ground like a TB whilst eating hard feed, and prances about the field like an Ayrab lol!

Thanks BTW for your comment redcascade xxx

That is EXACTLY what I was going to say! Appy colouring and eye, TB head, welsh legs somehow... particularly the forelegs...

Know where you're coming from. This woman mentioned above, bought a chestnut 7/8TB with snowflake spots from a sale, put her to a bay stallion produced a bay colt. Put her to Prescipitation (ch TB, sire of Furioso) twice produced a grey colt, and a spotted colt (as above) then to Quelle l'espoir (sic) a grey French TB, whose offspring was similar to yours but with a snowflake spotted front.
Does this help or confuse????

Hmm...ok I get the TB bit..but still confused.com!

 

[Munchkin]

Appaloosa is a breed, and they are not always spotted. A friend of mine owns a lovely, bay, purebred Appaloosa - not a spot in sight

The woman in question had a large Sec D, put her 15/16tb leopard spot stallion on her and produced something like yours.

Interesting! Will share what it says on his passport, eventually! I DID think it was a tad ....um..innaccurate...

 

[Toast]

Yes do tell.. id have to agree with everyone else though, a welsh x tb x appy of sorts!!
Nice looking lad though

Ta muchly x

Giving it another day or so.....but if anyone matches what it says on the passport I will be VERY surprised!

 

[tallyho!]

Knabbstrupper x arab.

I thought I'd go with the wild card.....

 

[spotty_pony]

Appaloosa x TB with a bit of welsh in there somewhere!

That was my first impression too, the little bit of feather perhaps suggesting Welsh Sec. D influence? Very nice sort of horse.

 

[Munchkin]

How tall is he, bumper?

 

[Sparky86]

He looks similar to mine who is TB x a show pony (TB/Welsh/Arab)

 

[Bertthefrog]

I'd have to agree with the guesses above - Appaloosa x TB with some Welsh in there too.

 

[welshwizzard]

Whatever "mix" he is, he's pretty gorgeous anyway
BTW it is true that appys dont always show spots,we had a weird one at my old yard.It arrived in winter, really long coat with bits of black in it,it wasn't until my friend clipped her that we realised it was a spotty! The white hairs of the coat covered the black spots,summer coat was well spotty

 

[bumper]

Thanks, I think he is gorgeous too, but then I am biased!

Munchkin, he is 15 1

 

[badgerdog]

Appaloosa x TB x New Forest.

 

[joeanne]

Knabbstrupper x arab.

I thought I'd go with the wild card.....

I would have said Knabbstrupper too but crossed with a TB not arab, Rollestone had one (Angelo Af Asgard?) that was throwing some very nice spotted foals.

 

[JessandCharlie]

My first thoughts were welshXappy with a touch of TB.

I expect his passport says warmbloodX on it?!

ETA: He is fab, love him!

 

[golddustsara]

Appy/TB/NF mix - There are a lot of appy x NF's round here but he looks a bit lighter than them so I'm thinking a bit of TB in there too.

 

[2Conker]

Knabbstrupper x arab.

I thought I'd go with the wild card.....

Yes, hadnt thought of Knabstrupper, could be some in there instead of Appaloosa.

 

[Spyda]

Appy x NF?

 

[tallyho!]

I would have said Knabbstrupper too but crossed with a TB not arab, Rollestone had one (Angelo Af Asgard?) that was throwing some very nice spotted foals.

Oh alright then maybe an idiwidy bit of arab.... or maybe even some quarterhorse!!!

Appaloosa x Qh are common (in USA) and are stunning....

I also thought... as spots sometimes are thrown with Andalusian/lusitano types when they are crossed (honestly!!) it occurred to me that maybe it could be luso x knabb/appy....

Am I going off the rails????

 

[immoralorchid]

hmmm just want to know what it is now ...........

 

[tallyho!]

Yes come along now, give us a bone...

 

[bumper]

Ok lol!

What it says on his passport is: Appaloosa x cob!!!

Now you see I find this very strange, having owned a cob, as I cannot for the life of me see any cob in him. TB certainly, possibly a bit of Arab at a stretch, but not cob!
