Is she an ID x? She looks really nice. Slightly back at the knee? She's quite high withered isn't she - is she hard to fit a saddle to? Nice looking horse.  |

thanks, although she's a grumpy strop of a mare most of the time she is a looker heh heh! Yes very high withered, I've got a lovely Barnsby saddle with a cut back head which fits her well and I love, its so comfy. No ID in there (though a lot of people think that), her sire was a TB x Hanoverian, her mother a clydesdale x ? welsh D. Had her since she was 9 months old, she's now 13.
Oh, and hi Jen!

She looks very tall!
Lovely stamp of horse - hunter type. Big generous ears and an intelligent expression. Alert eyes.
Good depth of girth, clean looking legs - well rounded feet show Clyde ancestery?
Lovely sloping shoulder - should give a smooth and ground-covering ride.
Perhaps a little short and light in the neck, and a tiny bit high in teh sacrum - but it could be the angle!

will try and get a better photo of her this weekend. She stands about 16hh ( never officially measured as it doesn't matter so I'm estimating!). She's very intelligent, and incredibly nosey, she insisted we stop on a hack today to plant her nose on a tupperware tub a lady walking past had to see if there was anything edible in it! Fortunately the lady didn't mind and thought she was gorgeous! ;D She also stopped and insisted she get a piece of broccoli off a local hobby farmer who was feeding it to his 3 pigs! She also finds the pigs fascinating!  She covers ground well but she's a bouncy ride, always has been. Really likes to flick her front toes when she's really walking out. I've been told she rides bigger than she is too. Difficult for me to judge as she's been my primary ride for the last 9 years! She's always had good feet too thankfully. |

She is beautiful! I just came on to ogle btw. Do you have to angle the girth forwards when you saddle her? Her girth groove in relation to the withers, looks a bit like my problem.
Very, very beautiful horse. Cannot believe she is stroppy, not at all, no how.

yes I think the girth does angle forwards a bit (never really thought about it before now!), when she was younger I used to have terrible problems with her saddle slipping back but her ribcage widened a bit as she matured more so its fine now. And yes, she is the original Stroppy Mare! HEHE
