Looked at another stallion

doublebarr · 11-06-2009, 04:58 PM

Unless that lady holding him is 6' tall at least, he is around 15- 15.1 at most.

livaliljequist · 11-06-2009, 05:00 PM

He might be that short.......they have never taped him so I was guessing by comparing him to Midnight but the ground had so many divots I might have been standing in one....

That is VERY uneven ground, and the woman is standing a bit behind him. That's likely going to make her look smaller in relation to him that she really is.

OP - I do like this stud. I just want you to realize that most probably, the resulting foal is not going to make the riding horse you want. I would sure use him on some of our Belgian mares for working horses, but not with an eye to riding.

If you're going to be looking at stallions *that* heavy, why not just look at a good Perch stallion so you can at least still have a full Perch?

Horses like that don't make very good beginner riding horses unless you can get impeccable training in them so they are not going to drag a beginner around wherever he wants to.

livaliljequist · 11-06-2009, 05:38 PM

I am going to ride him but I am not going ride ride him like competitive riding.......if I get the knowledge to train to pull then I will use the resulting foal for that sometimes....

I have looked for Perchs with the style like my mare but can not find any without having to haul her to Canada....and I would rather not breed her then make her travel that far....

What about crossing her with a Fell Pony? Just a thought.
