Whats your dream horse?

I've just been to see my dream horse! :D
I met him nearly 18 mths ago and fell hook line and sinker for him...but he wasn't really for sale...so had to walk away...then one night in November, I woke up after a terrible dream where I met his owner who casually told me he had sold him for a six-figure sum!!! Woke up heart thumping, thinking 'I still love that horse!!' Saw my friend two days later..told her about the dream..and she said she'd seen the owner the previous day - he'd now decided to sell and did she think I'd still be interested??????? MUCH?????!!!!!!!
Rushed round there to press money in his hand (a lot less than a six-figure sum thankfully)...for various reasons he hasn't been able to come home yet...(complicated story involving his sire having to be moved in order to slot him into a particular place etc etc :rolleyes:) BUT ***fingers crossed***he is coming home next week!
He's in my albums on my profile...dark bay, handsome-as (I think anyway) Welsh D....dreamy!!!!
I do proper love my other boy, tho, his little half-brother..but he has 'issues' so is a bit more of a nightmare boy than a dream boy!!!
:D
 
The complete opposite to Ned. Seriously, I was talking to his owner about it the other day and I realised normally, I wouldn't touch a horse like Ned with a barge pole! But for some reason, I fell totally in love with him.

I like horses who will go out alone, will jump properly, travel, anything but bay, long flowing mane...Not Ned haha!
 
I purchased my dream horse at the the end of summer 2011. He is my first and i absolutly love him to pieces. All my confidence has been restored with a matter of months and I trust him more than i could of imgained! He is truely my black beauty!

However, I would love a push button dressage horse to teach me a thing or two in the school!
 
She's an 18h1" black Shire mare with 4 even whites and a narrow blaze and she's standing in my pole barn right now. I saw her for the first time at the Royal Show in 2004. When she entered the ring, Mike Tucker, the announcer, said "here's something you rarely ever see, a mare with twin 6 week old foals." The mare took my breath away! From my vantage point, the foals did indeed look like twins. I determined to make my way to the stables after the judging, but, as luck would have it, the owner and horses had departed the show ground. I was later told that the foals were a colt and a filly, and that the filly had been adopted by the mare when its mother died. The following March, at the Shire Horse National Show, the previous year's stud books were available for purchase. I immediately looked up the Export Registry to see what horses had been sold abroad. To my great disappointment I saw that the mare had been exported to Saudi Arabia. That was that. Fast forward to August, 2005. I was at the Moor Green show and admired the handling of a young competitor with a yearling filly. Someone told me that the filly had been adopted as a 2 week old, the year before, by the mare in Saudi Arabia. I went over to the young handler and congratulated her on her lovely presentation in the ring. I said something to the effect of "isn't it a shame her 'dam' is in Saudi Arabia?" The young girl said "no, she isn't." I figured she probably didn't read the stud book entry. So I told her that the mare was listed as exported to Saudi. The girl looked at me and said, "no she isn't, I handled her yesterday in Yorkshire." As I attempted to retrieve my jaw from the ground, the young lady said she and her sister had been practicing handling techniques with "my" mare and the young filly, and in so doing, both girls had qualified for the Young Handler of the Year competition the following month near Uttoxeter. I went to that show (it's an annual foal show and sale), and lo and behold, "my" mare was entered so that both sisters could participate, each with a different horse. I spoke to the mare's owner and he explained that there had been a major typographical error in the stud book. Instead of listing the mare's older daughter as being exported to Saudi, the mare's name was listed. She was here in the UK all the time. The owner was willing to sell, and I was more than willing to buy. She is my horse of a lifetime! She had been a Shire Horse of the Year finalist years before my time. There isn't a day that goes by without me revelling in her beauty, kindness, affection, stature. Oh, and did I mention beauty? She still takes my breath away! Her picture is in my photo album, under Vicky.
 
I fell in love with Friesians at a girl, and the dream of owning one is yet to end 80)

Close behind in my list are an Irish Draft and a true hw draft, preferably a Clydesdale.

To own any horse is still a dream though: am a few years off affording it!
 
Doris.

I'd just like a lighter version of her so I could compete on her. I've got her daughter, Saffy, who is a smaller, lighter version of her but she has no va va voom, if you know what I mean.
