I can honestly say that I've never gone out to buy a particular breed of horse or pony. I've ended up buying what I found that would do the job and that I could afford and most importantly, ride (even if I've been a bit over horsed in the early days). I've also always been drawn to finer horses but that is just my preference not that I am anti the heaver breeds. As a result I've had all sorts, mostly with 50% or more TB in the mix. There are often comments on the forum about people going out to buy a particular breed but do people really say, " I want an X or Y breed?" Just curious really. Rose is a Hanovarian but I didn't know that until I saw her passport, yes she is shiny with lovely paces but she's the coolest , calmest mare you could wish to meet. Bisto was 7/8th TB but anyone who saw him thought he was a warmblood, I had a full tb by Petoski, he was a lazy git and the safest horse to hack, you could have put your granny on him! Tell all!
