What breed would you say my mare is??

[sleepykitten]

On her passport its just down as unknown. I would never swap her, shes my sanity!! But what would you say? Before anyone shoots me down, I know she is too fat, shes been out of work for 2 yrs with a suspensory ligament injury, but now coming back into work so hopefully will get that belly off her!!

I have a Freisian gelding too and I know everything about him, but what do you think?? Answers on a postcard......

Thanks!

^this, on both counts!

 

[StormyMoments]

i was thinking more like shire x tb hahaa could be very wrong though!

 

[Nailed]

Id say ID x Tb.. or there about..

But she also looks like what my German WB would look like if she had a foal.. so who know!

No irish draught in her. WB eye. Crossed with someting heavy like a shire.

Haha! Who knows indeed, don't think I'll ever find out lol, but I love the bones off her so I don't care!!

She has very long pasterns so I was thinking TbxID but there could be a few more X's in the mix too!!

Her markings look like Clydesdale but my first thought when I saw the 1st photo was Welsh. As you say probably a Heinz 57 - and lovely with it!

 

[asommerville]

am gn tb x id but more id shes v sweet

That's what thought, there's definitely shire in there somewhere. It's her white markings and slightly roman nose. She looks a good sort though, I bet she's a lovely girl.

 

[liss1987]

id say shes crossed with some sort of heavy horse due to the height and the slight roman nose she has, shes also very thick set, although i can also see a bit of section D in her too

 

[Gwena]

Haven't got a clue! but I do know she is my type of mare - not too big, not too small - just right, lovely

 

[sleepykitten]

She is the most uncomplicated, push button, easy to keep, forward going horse I've ever had.

She pulls like a train tho' and has a buck in her!!

If you offered me £25K for her I wouldn't part lol.

 

[glenruby]

Definitely no Irish draught in her. Those feet and lower limbs do look v shire like though as do the markings.

 

[Lintel]

I'll say WB x welsh x shire? X

 

[sleepykitten]

Amazed at how many have said Welsh, that never crossed my mind!

 

[Popsnlou]

Haha! Who knows indeed, don't think I'll ever find out lol, but I love the bones off her so I don't care!!

haha, v good, i would say tb x something slighty stockier but one thing is for sure she is lovely

[Parker79]

No idea...keep going in circles... but she is lovely

First thought - some welsh in her...then decided had to be a Something heavy with TB, might be Cleveland Bay x TB as that would explain lack of feather.

Used to ride a Welsh x Cleveland who was a similar build - cant find any pics though - sorry.

 

[maisie06]

certainly not welsh - I would put my money on TBx shire. She's a lovely looking girl!
