Hi everyone, firstly I'm fairly new to NR but as I've posted a couple times thought I'd best post a picture of my lad. I've posted it in this topic cos I'm trying to find out more about breed and other owners.
I don't have any papers for him but I've contacted great ardennes of GB who said she thinks he's a ardennes x shire x going from his pictures.
So hopefully this is a picture of him below!!:D

I love Ardennes, all the foreign drafts are lovely (and obviously the english ones :))
There was a lovely haffy/shire x knocking around the ads a while ago called Harry whowas 18.3hh :eek::eek: .... he just looked like a HUGE haflinger, sounds like yours is the opposite Jowyles.
Ardennes remind a little of pigs for some reason (thats a compliment as I love pigs!!!! :cool:)

PS - Bombproof have some lovely Belgium drafts in at the moment (not that I would PERSONALLY buy anything from there! - but they have pretty pictures ..lol)
