Heavier Horse Breeds

I grew up in a suburb of Pittsburgh. I was spoiled and took riding lessons. My fav was my friend Romeo, a black Morgan. Had just started jumping six foot fences when life got too busy. I miss it.

I spent a lot of time helping.out in that barn. Taught a feisty Quarter horse not to buck people off. Also taught a bratty Arabian yearling to stop being such a brat. lol

I miss those days.

I’ve got a BUNCH in storage somewhere. All still in their original boxes. They were too pretty to play with. :stuck_out_tongue:

I still have a room full of Breyer models :heart_eyes:

Did you ever accidentally break one’s leg? My first actual horse had to be put down that way when I was young, and ever after, breaking a Breyer horse had me in hysterics over the guilt lol.

Mine are still on a bookshelf in my office! :blush:

I’m so sorry about your horse! :cry: And yes, I broke the foot on one and was so devastated. I can still see the crack where I super glued it back on. <.<

Aw thanks. It was many, many moons ago. I’ve lost a few more since to old age or other illnesses. Such is the life, I guess.

Some of mine have those glue cracks too lol. Shhh it’s ok, it’s fine. :wink:

Those horses can range from any where to 9000 to 40,000 bucks :sob: I’ve looked into it.

p.s. I had this guy:

Which is a coincidence because I now own this guy:

… I never made the connection until now. Weird how things turns out.

Appaloosas are pretty pricey.

Let me rephrase that, horses are pretty pricey.

They’re not that bad compared to other breeds. I only paid $2000 each for both of mine and they’re registered.

This is THE horse. The Friesian. These bad boys carried William the conqueror to victory.

I’m told not to ask about the paint my daughter claims is her’s.

Is your daughter’s horse’s show name “Daddy’s Checkbook” or, alternatively, “Don’t Tell Daddy”? I used to show with both of those in my day, and they were both paints haha.

It’s Dixie, grandpa bought her from his uncle. She’s saddle broke technically, but she bucks if you go faster than a walk.

Oh goodness, not them then lol. Check her for saddle sores, girth fit, and back/joint pain. Usually what that kind of bucking stems from, unless it’s just happy crow-hops because she’s under-exercised and has too much energy.

We think that she was abused before she came into Uncle J’s possession.

Anyways here’s the proof of existence.

If you want horses, Alliance is waiting for you!

We got horses too!

I’d love to have a shire horse mount.

The kul tarian ones looks beefier

I thought the Worgen horses were of a larger variety. I could be wrong. Can’t remember the last time I used a horse that wasn’t the paladin or warlock class mounts.
