Find me this breed...euorpean draughts

[Pink's lady]

I've seen it before but now I can't find the pictures I'm wanting. I'll tell you all why later;)

B***y great big european draught horse - standing 16.2hh at 3.5yrs old. Heavy with loads of bone but not quite as wide as he is long;). Not as heavy as a Breton Draft etc - a little leggier. And most importantly - a striking blue roan with black face and legs, mane and tail.

Something like this (Ardennais), which I suspect, but I can't find many pictures or info.:

If anyone with a pile of breed books would like to dig them out I'd be eternally grateful:D

Looks like Ardennes to me:D

I agree, they look like Adennes to me as well.

The picture is a Adennais (Adennes) and very similar but he's not quite so heavy, although that might be his ages. Or it could be a Brabant (also known as a Belgium Heavy draught I think). Either way, he's certainly not the IDx he's being sold as;):eek: Thanks:D

There are Ardennais in the UK as my friend has one, he is the strawberry roan variety as opposed to the blue. Sounds like yours could be one - can we see a photo?

I saw a strawberry roan Ardennes at a hunter trial recently, she was breath taking and just HUGE.

Sorry not really helpful but....
