Just wondering if someone can have a look at the pics in my album and tell me what breed or type they think the horses are? I'd quite like to know, they're near my house but I know nothing about them (will take the pics down soon!); someone mentioned polo ponies, could they be? Three are still there, living out, no rugs etc.
 
They all look pretty different to me. I wouldn't say polo ponies as they still have their manes, and mostly look a bit too chunky to be TB's, the v dark bay with the white blaze could have some gelderlander in there somewhere. They all look in pretty good nick, are you concerned about them for any reason?
 
It's actually quite hard to identify the breed exactly from photos unless the horse is a very easily recognisable breed. Many horses are a mix of more than one breed which makes it even harder to identify.

The black horse is quite cobby. The bay by the cable is the lightest in build and probably has some TB in it somewhere. The bay with the white markings (grazing) looks like a cross between a heavier breed and a lighter breed.
 
I'm not concerned, no - just keeping an eye out as I've never seen anyone check them (though obviously they might just be doing it at horsey'o'clock!). They seem and act healthy :) I know some people are rugging up now, I presume they just don't need it (I have no clue!) They seem young, I wouldn't know but I get that impression, and it's lovely to watch them go about their day, and I LOVE the cantering hoofbeats when they have a mad minute :D
