ok i have finally got this to work out these are the pictures of my mare i bought her a year ago from some person (not saying any names) this is kinda a funny story but here it goes. My family finally told me i could get a horse so we went "horse shopping" there was a beautiful retired appaloosa/arab barrel racer that i looked at but i wanted a horse with a bit more personality and he was quite short but my mom loved him it was what she wanted (my mom wanted me to get a 10 or older gelding thats been there done that kinda guy). so we said we would keep looking but would consider him. my mom saw in the news paper a gelding pacer for sale so she phoned the owner up to go look at him. when we arrived there the owner mentioned she had a soon to be 6 year old mare that might be more of what i am looking for so unstead of looking at her pacer gelding i went and looked at this mare. My mom was ok with that idea i was thrilled. As soon as i saw the lady take it her of the pasture i fell in love with her (the horse i mean). she was beautiful she was what i had always dreamed of having for a horse. the lady saddled her up and rode her around she was fine. i must say the day we came by to see the horse was terrible it was sleet like, windy and just plain miserable with alot of mud. then i took her for a ride and said i wanted her. then the next week we came to pick her up and she had lost about 3 pounds (she was already skinny) and the owner told me that she was only 3 years old not 6! my mom was not impressed at all but i just shrugged it off this was my horse and thats the way it was staying. so the owner told me her sire was qh but she was not registered and found in a field (my mom and i think she was one of those pmu foals that didn't end up at an auction house going to the slaughter) the owner had lied about age so what do you guys think what is she. she has a pawing thing that when shes bored she does it, when i am gone she does it, when shes confused she does it some people tell me it means shes got warmblood in her. she has a smooth lope in the round pen area. shes got a pretty good temperment for a mare and rarley spooks and can be stubborn at times. sorry about he lighting you can look at the other pictures but these ones show her features the best

i would say shes quarter horse but the pawing is not a breed thing i had a quarter horse arab cross that did it and know a reg. quarter horse that does it,its more of a vice,a mom im board or i dont want to do that or mom i have no clue what your asking me to do,etc.i wouldnt let her get away with it though,its a bad habit.

both horses mentioned with the pawing thing are warm bloods though or part warm blood sorry had to mention that. the person i got this info from is around 50-60 years old and has almost to much horse experience it scares me but i guess thats what happens when you grow up around 'em. but i do agree on who ever mentioned shes qh i also thought paint any paint experts around here?
