I've found out abit of info of what he's done...

At three he was working in the forest pulling logs and then was bought and backed to hunt he's also been used at a hunting/trekking yard in France but was turned away when they discovered about his partially crease Laryxn he came to me with horrid mud fever just sorting out his legs now and they look heaps better I need to finish clipping his legs they were sooo sore we did it mostly by hand using sicissors. He's soooo good tho! :D

Looks more Clydesdale than anything else.....if he's a cross it's a very small percentage.

They have ridden Clydesdale classes at the Royal Highland Show.

Not me, I am afraid I usually end up hiding from the Clydesdales as we could get stuck in their shoe should we get stepped on. :D :D

The RHS is for registered Clydesdales only, so, unless you could find out whether he is from registered parents, that would be out at county level, but there will be loads of small shows you could take him to.

There's nothing stopping you entering driving classes with him.

He's clearly a draught horse... but I wouldn't think theres any Irish draught in him at all, he doesn't look similar in any way/have a single characteristic.

If he was mine I'd definitely describe him as a Clyde/ Clyde X.

I definatly think a clydesdale x and yes a poss I. draught x but only a small amount of x. How did you get on with his legs did he let you snip? Poor sole some tlc and he will soon be right as rain!! I think he is just adoreable!!:)

He is really nice. Best of luck with him.
BTW I bought a French hoss and she has 'selle' on her passport. She is a 14.1 pony so I think it just means riding equine!!
She looks finer type of highland build. Nothing like a selle francaise either:D:D

He looks an absolute sweetheart - and very Clydesdale. A lovely face with a real honest look about him.

Hope you have masses of fun and good times with him. Look forward to seeing how you get on with him!

Clydesdale, possibly with a tiny little bit of something else, but not a huge amount by the looks of him! I have a Clydesdale cross TB (I love CD x!), but mine looks a fair bit less CD than yours, so either only a little bit of a cross, or crossed with something more similar to a Clydesdale, like a large cob if Irish (doesn't look like much ID in him though:confused:), or something like that? I have a friend wiht a Clydsdale x WB, but again they looks less Clydesdaley than yours.

He is a lovely boy!:)

Would definitely say Clydesdale-cross, possibly with Thoroughbred.

The feet look too small and the legs too light for a full Clydie, and as you say he's been used for hunting, Clydie-x-TB would be the most likely combination, but evidently with more Clydesdale in him.

Very nice, though!

I'm gonna go with Clyde x ID or a chunky TB maybe.

Defo clyde x. You can tell by the leg marking usually if they are clyde or shire. He is gorgeous.
