What breed is this 133 hand gaited pony2007-11-24 21:21:18

She is stocky with a thick mane and tail. Her main is double sided. She has good hard feet and grows a thick winter coat. Her owner did not know anyhting about her. I didn't know she was gaited when I got her. She has a good head on her, she not spooky, and when she does spook she just stops. She has a good attitude, when she gets mad she paws with her right front. I don't know much about gaited horses and I was wondering what breed she might be. There are some pictures of her at www.rodeoron.com/lacy

Answers:

She could be an Icelandic horse (it's really a pony-sized breed even though it's called a horse.)

It's also possible that's she's a mix between a gaited breed and a pony breed. By the way she looks, I'd think she could easily be cross between a Shetland and some gaited breed.

If you could get some pictures/video (video would definitely be best) of her gaiting, it would make her breed easier to identify since there are several different types of gaits specific to certain breeds.

How does she move? Perhaps a little Icey in there somewhere but I don't think she displays a majority of any one breed's standards.

I love her stocky build, that's right up my alley.

You have a nice little grade gaited mare. Sweet face, nice short back, great legs and nice little hookie ears.
