If you know the answers please dont share :)
 
His colour! Its gorgeous, those dapples are amazing haha. Um...id guess 14hh around...12/13 years old because he looks good but quite settled so i dont think hes a youngster. And ive got no idea with breed
 
14hh
5/6 yrs ( only guessing as some dapples go grey as they get older )
breed - I'm thinking new forest or connie ( but not much bone for a connie )
 
Oh and he looks well nicely covered but i wouldn't want to see any more weight on , nice neck , well set on , can't really see his feet but off hind hoof looks quite upright , but this could be the angle of the pic ( photos can play funny tricks on perspective ).
Are you going to give us the answers??
 
He is a New Forest. He is 3 years 1 month! And is 13.2at the wither and 13.3hh behind. I was hoping for 14hh but just dont think he'll make it. Weight wise at the mo I think he's spot on as his ribs as easily felt but I agree he doesnt want more! He's in a starvation paddock with 2 others so fingers crossed he won't get bigger.

He is slightly upright- you are correct but I think it looks worse in the pic.

Thanks for having a go- amazed that some thought he was much older. :)

He should make 14hh at least if he is only 3. Natives take a long time to mature. He is a lovely looking pony, was he forest bred?

really? I would love it if he made that- although I'm only 5'4 and he's very wide- it helps in the showing classes as at the mo in M&M they have to go against the other large breeds.

Yes born in the forest.

I used to live nearish to the forest (Sussex) and loved to go over and see the ponies. Not so much the round up and selling though!
