I have no idea - but there was a post yesterday asking if you survived riding your youngster - you obviously did!! Pony is lovely by the way - must an M&M of some kind?

 

[moodymare1987]

Aww hes lovely jubbily

No idea on breed sorry

 

[moodymare1987]

Does look like a m+m though, so could maybe do first ridden mountain and moorland etc that type of class. Depends on the show, ours has random extra classes.

 

[samstar]

welsh A/B x ? a maybe

 

[piaffe]

LOL, was there??? I will go find it now....yeah still alive!

 

[Angelbones]

I really don't know but it is the exact colour and markings as our 14hh Connemara mare, although a finer build.

 

[rema]

He looks abit Connie x maybe.Very nice.Lovely colour.

 

[SNORKEY]

Looks like a conamara, but arn'nt they bigger than that?
Native classes and m&m's, I think your have to find a breed book first though.

 

[katie_and_toto]

I think he looks as if he might be a connemara cross?

 

[dsophiea]

welsh b. m+m classes. he is lovely

 

[AmyMay]

Welshy of some sort I'd say - and bloody adorable and quite perfect.

Any ridden class bar M&M

 

[kafrin181995]

Have you thought of a M & M maybe a welsh? what is his movement like in front? usually a good vet would give you a rough idea!!!

onto showing issues.. well there arent any - nice weight and nice colourings also looks like he has good bone...
very pretty!

to be honest its what you want to do? if you want to do high level or local showing - he would be suitable for both, i would suggest starting at local seeing what judges think he is like and what they like about him and take it from there eg. if they like his colourings do a coloured class!

good luck!
PM me if you want any more info!

I would plait him and show him as a hunter pony.

 

[piaffe]

Thank you so much everyone for your input.

He arrives next month

 

[rema]

You certainly seem to have a good eye for picking these good horses/ponies of yours.You should take up Judging.

 

[only_me]

looks like a connemara to me

and i think they can be that small

shoulder seems quite upright imo, but it could just be the way he is stood.


must have papers for mm classes, if not show hunter and working hunter if nice enough jump

 

[piaffe]

Ahhh thanks. LOL at the judging though! I think he's nice but not really into ponies so my knowledge is limited.

Daughter has NO clue, can't wait!

 

[eventing09]

Hee looks like welsh b cross connemara im thinking

M&M and show hunter maybe. Would also make a very nice working hunter.
Beautiful pony mind you!

 

[lilym]

looks like a welsh B to me, smart pony, they oftenplait up very well for show hunter pony and riding pony classes - you will have some fun with him!!

 

[scotsmare]

He looks like a welsh b.

 

[jhoward]

is he dun or buckskin? if dun you can also do coloured classes.

 

[amycov]

I'd say probs a B, but poss a small connie? Or a connie x B?
Not very helpful

but M&M lol.

 

[Honeypots]

Looks like a Welsh A to me...my friend had one just the same

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

Welsh B x Connie .

Lovely looking ponio .

Good luck xx

 

[black_horse]

surely hr is a pure connemara? we have one like this and this colour on our yard. also a show pony

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

Has to be under 12 hands for section a .

Also too small for a purebred connie .

It isn't that common to find a purebred native mare put in foal to a different native breed stallion, if breeders are going to produce a part-bred foal it is usually half Arab or half TB.

Its colour is seen more often in Connies than Welshies but it doesn't look like an Irish head, much more Welsh B, and it's too small and fine to be a Connemara.
