What could I do with a Hanoverian x Shire

[Twinkletoes]

Showing wise, presuming he makes the anticipated 15.2hh - good amt of bone, bay with white star. Genuine MW. Sorry no pics yet but will get there this week! Colt at the mo, will be gelded before the summer season. I've only ever shown natives before & so would appreciate people's knowledge on this one of where he could fit in x

I think you are going to have to wait and see what he grows into, but he could make a very attractive cob type

Sounds like a lovely combination-Ridden Hunter/ working Hunter classes?.

Bet he would make a good dressage horse too and probably be quite sharp but kind having Shire in him. People always think horses with a bit of heavier breeding in them ie Shire/Clydesdale are laid back but more often than not they aren't!.

gd luck with him.

Are you sure he's going to be 15.2hh?
I have a Shire x Tb (dam 17.2hh, sire 15.2hh) and she's not small

Sounds like a lovely mix! Working Hunter would be my choice! My Shire x can jump beautifully. You'll most likely get a nice allrounder out of him - the world is your oyster!!

George is a TB x Shire and does dressage and jumps (don't fancy showing), he is very kind but can be anxious and I understand that's not unusual in shire x. He's 16.3.

I asked a similar question for Dolly, and it came back with hunter type classes.
Good luck & cant wait to see some pics

Yoyr Dolly looks like our Duke, who is shire x dartmoor!!
Hubby used to ride a shire/hanovarian and she was a brilliant showjumper. Really don't know what sort of show classes he would make though.
