  1. General Off Topic Questions & Discussion
    Good evening team. unsure of the best place as to where I should be asking this. Would anyone happen to have any knowledge regarding the breed composition of the US government-owned herds over time? I'm not talking just mustangs as they are owned incidentally on BLM land so much as the herds...

Their results declared she is: ( 1st ) Cream Draft ( 2nd ) Hackney ( 3rd ) Paso Fino I can totally see these breeds as her, but never would've guesses this...

    So brownie is either 16 or 17 and I got her when she was either 3 or 4. I know very little about her life before she came to me. She was sold to me as an unregistered quarab, but I just can't see the quarter horse in here. I see plenty of the Arabian, but I also think she's mixed with something...

    So, I bought a nearly 2 year old horse from a kill pen on September 1st of last year. She is my heart and soul, I love this horse more than any horse I've ever interacted with. She's been super amazing to train and work with. Anyways, she was sold to me as a spotted saddle horse. Ive been...

    I have a 15 year old haflinger gelding, and his weight varies a lot. One day he’s at the perfect weight and then another day he’s either under or over weight. Is this just something common with the breed? Today I noticed that he is looking underweight, I could see his ribs a bit. I haven’t...

  9. Horse Talk
    So, something new has come up, and it came up very suddenly. Backstory is basically that myy grandma had a guest over Easter weekend and I ended up hearing that she had a gelding that she was going to send off to auction because he was hard to catch. I didn't catch much more than that at the...

    Hey everyone :) So my grandma had 2 ponies that she got roughly 6 years ago. The one was a rescue as she'd been very abused to the point she'd freak out if you picked up a whip or even just a stick despite standing a few feet away and not even directing your body towards her. She was also...
  11. Horse Breeds, Registrations and Brands
    Hey everyone. So I'm getting a 6 month old foal in the next week or so. However, the owners don't know her breed as her parents were wild and came from a reserve. So I was wondering what you guys have to think about her and what you think her breeding her is? I have a few ideas, like maybe paint...
  12. Horse Breeds, Registrations and Brands
    Me and my friend were wondering if anyone could help us identify the breed of a horse we ride, Jay, was. I realize what you suggest isn't necessarily correct but i'm just curious of what you guys thinks, thanks. Jay (the horse) is 15.2hh tall, male and from New Zealand. He is very calm and...
  13. Horse Colors and Genetics
    So I got a 5 year old mare a few months back (approx 6 months ago) and have been trying to figure out what to call her coloring. I'm new to owning my own horse and being around them regularly though I've always had a passion for them. So I'm still trying to figure out all the different names for...

  15. Horse Breeding
    My mare is a 16 year old Brandenburger with a pretty sick pedigree (Quando Quando, Shickeria, Akzent II, etc.) We imported her from Germany as a 7 year old and she's turned out to be everything and more for me, she's the most beautiful high hunter ever!! I've been thinking of the possibility of...
  16. Horse Breeds, Registrations and Brands
    I'm in the early stages of researching and shopping for a horse of my own. I know that the most important thing when purchasing a horse is the health and temperament. But I was curious about everyone's opinions on best breeds for different uses. I plan to use my horse mostly for trail...
  17. Horse Conformation Queries and Critique
    I'm not sure her breed but she is about 14.2 hands and I am very bad at critiquing confirmation. I'm planning to do the jumpers with her and probably no jumping higher than 3'3. Thanks!
  18. Horse Breeds, Registrations and Brands
    I recently bought this 14.2 pony for $3250 and she has a great w/t/c and has started jumping like 2'9, slightly green. However, the seller was not sure what breed she was and did not have a pedigree. I was too in love with her to care but her coggins was registered under quarter horse but I was...
  19. Horse Breeds, Registrations and Brands
    I've been taking riding lessons for about one month now. I generally ride a 25 year old Dutch Warmblood. At my last lesson, my usual horse wasn't available. So I rode a 7 year old Appendix Quarterhorse. This felt like a huge change. The neck of the horse seemed shorter, so that I had to...
