Re: [IceHorses] off topic picture: my newest addition
We have Percheron QH cross at our place and i saw your mare and thought they could be twins-he is much older (26) and still packs anyone around-and if we are feeling froggy he will even do a good job sorting cows. not much for up hills (atleast going away from the corrals-once he is sure he is heading home he will lead the pack :) ) Great cross-i'm glad she found a good home.

Re: [IceHorses] off topic picture: my newest addition
I wish she was gaited! LOL! She is Percheron/QH cross. She is 16.2. I swore I'd never buy another non gaited horse... show's you what swearing gets you! I've never in my life owned or ridden a heavy horse and I just got back from 3 hours with the man down the road who owns a carriage business. I just knocked on his door because I knew what he did and always admire the big drafts in his pastures when I drive by but had never met him before. We spent 3 hours talking and he showed me all the different types of harnesses he has from simple and light to giant fancy contraptions that spakle to the harnesses for mini horses...it was fun talking to him...He's going to give me lessons on one of his horses for awhile until Sally arrives and then he said we'll figure out just what she's made of and what size stuff she needs. He said normally driving horses are retired at about 15 from a working environment which is why she is the age she is and I am getting her at the price I am getting her at. He said pulling a small cart for pleasure will not phase her at all...it's the everyday pounding the cement that is alot for them after a certain point and human drivers will retire them at 15 (and insurance companies apparently don't insure a driving horse before 4 or past 16)... he did say that I will have a great riding horse for years to come especially since she won't even notice I'm on her back since I'm so light. I can't wait to feel what it's like to ride that high and that wide and that strong of a body. This guy is quite animated so he was telling me how their big feet stay up in the mud so when the small horses are sinking in the bottom of a muddy lake or trail, these horse plod along because there is more surface area. He says they are very great trail horses but just not usually used on the trail. He has beautiful carts that he uses for weddings and stuff so I'm gonna get to try one of those out eventually but he's starting me on his trail cart... explaining that he doesn't want his 10,000.00 investments to run amuck. I'm just glad he's willing to give me some lessons. She is also a gentle soul and I've wanted a horse on the place that I can put ANYBODY on. Bia
