This is George...He is an American Warmblood. He is 4 years old, dark bay, 15.3hh
I love him to death but I want to see what you all think, he is being ridden hunters right now but we are thinking english and possibly western pleasure.
Without seeing him move I can't tell you how suitable he is for hunters, but he's certainly a very pretty boy Nice straight legs, good proportions, very handsome!

What I meant to put is he is registerable. We are actually taking him to get tested this month!
I'm super excited. A lot of people don't like him just because he has draft in him. Someone I knew wouldn't even come look at him before she said he couldn't show hunters.
I will try to get a video of him tomorrow, and I am sorry about the mixup on breeds.
You know, there's lots of controversy about Warmblood vs warmblood. Our trainer says he may have a Warmblood for us....I'm not sure if he means a Warmblood or if it's a draft cross someone is calling a warmblood.
He is actually an Arab/Percheron. He was an accident but he is an adorable mover and the trainer that I finally got out here to break him wanted to take him home with her!
He doesn't have a price tag
I just love him so much.
I have to admit for a "mistake" and the combination of those two breeds, I think he's amazing well put together. One of the first Half-Arabs I've seen that looks nothing like an Arab! My old Arab mare was bred to a Hanoverian stallion, and the filly came out quite nice but I swear she could pass for a stocky purebred Arab! :lol:
I'm a bit of a rush so no critique right now, but good luck at testing!
i think that combo is really nice. The one my friend has is an awesome jumper and looks more perch than your guy. Good luck at testing! In order to get my girl registered i would have to jump thru a million hoops. She hurt herself when she was three and has a calcification on her leg so she would need a million things so she could pass.
Thanks for all the comments, I really do like him. We saved him from the kill house as a baby. I bought him for $100 dollars.
He wouldn't allow anyone to come near him. We finally got him halter broke then had a really nice trainer come out to break him.
Now, we are just starting to show hunters and even a bit of english pleasure. He is everything I have ever dreamed of and more.
We also have his brother who is a year younger then him, he looks more drafty and isn't as calm as George around people.
We just got really lucky, it doesn't happen very often but sometimes you can find the diamond in the rough
LOL! I still feel bad about that! But I didn't see any dangly bits in those pictures!!!
I think he will do fine in hunters - the people that see the drafty part of him and don't think he should be in the ring might say stupid things about it. Don't listen to it.
Normally Arab/draft crosses are nightmarish but he got a good combination of both.
Thanks so much!
I think he will do well in hunters and or english pleasure.
