Here's the Mustang I told you guys about in the thread "Possible New Horse"!
He's a 16.1-16.2 gray Mustang and I fell in love. He's SO sweet, and has so much potential. He'll be coming home in a few months after I finish paying for him. So excited! :D Pictures! He's got a huge cresty neck you could easily saddle up. Chubby boy. Lol Look at that face, I think he's adorably handsome. :)

He's really cute. He actually looks just like one of my QHs! I personally like a thick horse. I'd stick him though, I don't think he's 16 hands, I would geuss more 15ish...

Cute boy though, is he broke?

Thanks, everybody! :)

Yeah, she (the owner) said he was 15.5 on the phone. :roll: I nicely explained that 15.3 is the tallest he could be without going to 16 hands in horse measurements. She thought about it again and was like okay, he's 16.2. I will definitely be measuring. Lol He DOES look drafty, doesn't he? Well some drafts were bred into the Mustang herds, so I guess that's what happened. LOL

Oh and he is broke, just needs a refresher.

He looks like my mustang, different head but the body is so similar. My boy has the big thick neck too, and does that droopy lip thing (which i personally love!)

He's lovely. Good luck with him.
I know! The lip thing is too cute. :) I grabbed it and was playing with it and he was just standing there like "What are you doing crazy new person?" Lol I think its real cute.

Really nice. I know that in some areas, draft stallions were released into mustang herds to test their fertility and to improve mustang stock. I did see a huge black draftlike mustang eventing in Colorado a while back.

I believe he is closer to 15.2/15.3....unless you are REAL tall.

15.5 might equal "15 and a half"

Hi,

I think the owner meant 15 and a half, saying .5 to mean half of a hand.

I like the looks of him. He does look rather Baroque. His leg coloring is really neat. His thick throatlatch might make it a little hard for him to give at the poll and collect, but big deal, who cares?

Wow, he looks exactly like a larger version of my Mustang Dobe, very percheron-ish. He's a very pretty boy. Congrats. :D

Lol, that's totally what I was thinking, Smrobs! I love your boy and when I fist saw him I thought of Dobe. :) I thought he looked perchy too, part of the reason I loved the look of him. The cool thing is she says when she got him his mane and tail were almost black. I think that would have been gorgeous.

Tinyliny:
I thought she meant 15 and a half too so I asked and she was like no 15.5. I don't know, I didn't harp. Lol


Thanks again, for everyone's comments! :)

Thank you, Dobe and I are both very flattered. I love the square butt on him, makes him look like he could pull a house off it's foundation :D. I think his overall confo is much better than Dobe's though, no glaring faults that I can really see (other than just being fat:wink:).

I know, I feel like I've been e-mailing his owner and debating if he was right for me for years! I'm really glad I went to see him.

I'm really looking forward to bringing him home, giving him a good groom and taking more pictures. :D After making him all clean and shiny-like. Lol
