lovely horse!

This is an interesting thread - I ride a Shire cross well over 17hh, and I was discussing him with the physio - she told me that genetically they have a larger proportion of slow twitch muscle fibres compared to throroughbreds and this is why they sometimes 'run out of steam' by comparison - no complaints about Huxley though, he's a gem.....

well, he's not boring nor a plod! Beautiful pics! I have that same problem, most people say my welsh D is a plod and no fun. Although he might choose to take it easy sometimes, he can go some if asked. I think they are just jealous. Your horse looks fab, and is fab so stuff them! Enjoy yourself!

Hear hear!!

Reall lovely photos. Def not a plodder

I only ever had tb, one andalusian and wb. Then I had an a really bad accident (I broke my neck and my horse broke her leg and as a result I lost her) and I totally lost my confidence and so I bought a "plod cob" with a view to selling her 6 months later when confidence returned and I could get back to my "pretty" horses. Said cob is now love of my life most amazing horse I have ever known, 6 months turned into 7 years and will she will be going no where
Last weekend she gave me my first foal who will also be going no where

Your cob looks amazing
