Congrats on your new TWH! He's beautiful! I used to have one but he passed away :'( and he was black too. TWH are great horses to have and I'm sure you'll have a great time with your new horse.
For those of you with blacks-what is the texture of the hair coat? My qh has a soft fine hair summer and winter. In winter is just gets longer. My twh's coat is much coarser. I've examined the black coats of non-twh and they too are fine. This boy makes me think he's part black bear. I've never seen a coat of this texture before.

My twh gelding is a blk/wht spotted and his blk hair is fine. But the white hair always sheds first which I find odd. Posted via Mobile Device

Had several blacks and their hair was normal feeling. Also had a pinto whose mane/tail/hair felt like you were running your hand along a rasp. I suspect it's mostly a case by case thing.
Our black twh has the exact same winter coat except longer. Ours has the exact same head and facial expressions as yours.....wierd......They shed out beautiful thought!!!!
