What breed do you think... (pic)

[crazystevie]

This horse here was sold to me as a TB x Connemara. He kinda looks like one, but I bought him from a dealer, and he came with no papers or history, so obviosly I have my doubts. Anyway, would you say that he is a TB x Connemara? Sorryt he pic isn't the best - i took it on my phone, i'll try and get a better one. Also, he has a very fine coat, even in winter, which is typical TB trait I think.

hi. your horse has definately got TB blood in him. i'm not sure about connerema but you could be right. TB X native breed. hope that helps. :)

[crazystevie]

Thats what i thought - its the connie bit i'm unsure about. Thanks

Sorry I cant really see any Connie there.

[crazystevie]

what would you say he's crossed with then. I'll try and get a better pic of him tonight. The you can have a proper look. These are another 2, but again not much use.

I see no connemara in there at all :p Head, neck, shoulder and legs all look TBish but he's clearly got alot of something else in there too :confused: What height is he?

[lindz]

Your horse is not necessarily a result of a direct cross between two different breeds or types. I definately agree that there is TB in him, e.g his sire might have been a TB. The dam may not have been any specific breed or type.

A bit of CLeveland Bay?

[crazystevie]

He's 15'2. He's fine-ish, but he does have great big barell on him, andis a real good doer, so that's why I think he's cross with some kind of native, just not sure which kind.

I probably agree with you on this one - maybe a connie x something else.

the dam may be a cross of native breeds.

Mine is definitely a con x tb and she's the exact same build,shape colour and everything as yours, just an inch smaller. And like you said, barely grows a winter coat.She certainly jumps like a connemarra!

[crazystevie]

Yeah he does too! To be fair, them piccies of him are from the winter, and in the winter, everyone thinks he is a full TB, but an irish one, because he is a bit chunkier - and in the summer, he grows a huge pony belly, and everyone thinks he is either an overgrown connemara or a cob lol!

[saldec]

He looks TBx but i'm not sure with what.

I must say he is a nice looking horse though :)

[crazystevie]

aaaawwww Thanks saldec. Don;t tell him though - he's the most big headed horse i've ever met lol.

I have a pb connie if you want to see to compare! Here is my boy:

I actually think he is half connie! iI could be wrong though!

[crazystevie]

They do have a similar looking face - the piccies don't really show too well what he looks like, but there are similarities - what do y0u think?

[toohorsemad]

Yes the pictures not too great, sorry! I think they look a like

[crazystevie]

Yeah - I can see it. I think the TB took over a bit though on murphy.
