I was going to ask if he is true dun,as can't see very well from pics if he has the correct markings,but am guessing not from what others have said?? He looks very light in the body for a typical buckskin,but does have the darker points associated with them.I would have said he was more like a blue dun or grulla I think it's called,but again if he doesn't have a true dorsal stripe then he can't be dun of any sort,so that not much help lol.
He reminds me a fair bit of a fjord,which funnily enough are believed to have strong links to the ancient horses he resembles!! Maybe some norwegian blood in there somewhere??
Highland would be an obvious choice if he were dun,but although he has the build and 'barrel' of one,he doesn't look like one in the face,and as dun is very dominant in that breed the fact he isn't makes it even more unlikely.
Connie I would rule out as although the buckskin colouring is present in connie's,he has no other connie characteristics,not to my eye anyway.
Do you have any idea what area he originated from?? It might give more clues as to what type of native he has in there if any,and I agree his looks are distinctly native type,must be some in there somewhere:wink:
Some regions like Cornwall have ponies like the Bodmin moor ones that are very 'native' looking but are actually a bit of a mix of native,cob types and a few more besides,maybe other areas have 'breeds' of this type?? If could get any clues as to his origins might help narrow it down.
My best guess is going to be NF x fjord with a small amount of 'who the hell knows' thrown in for good measure:tongue::biggrin:
His face reminds me of an oversized newfie,the rest of him fjord (although thinking about it dun would be almost definite if fjord were present,but that doesn't fit with my current thinking so will ignore that fact lol),and a bit of something else to explain his colour and quirkiness:giggle:
