First Special Order!

Growing up, there were always chestnut Saddlebreds in the barn, and even now, my family has three bright red Saddlebreds (and my retired copper chestnut Quarter Horse), that I obviously needed a chestnut "Quarter Horse" Julip.  None came up in the spares, so I ordered one!

I sent this picture of my mother showing her hunter, Cosmo, to Laura for reference, though really I wasn't too particular. (yes, huntseat is a bit different at Saddlebred shows)


This is the lovely guy I got back!

He's just perfect. Now I get to play with a Saddlebred again, though making tack is a bit different from tacking up and going for a ride.

Not my favourite mould or breed (sorry, lol) but what a lovely Julip!

Lovely shading on him

[thelonehick]

Thanks! I'm still admiring him on my desk. There's a poor hound that got left out of my pony excitement making halters and taking pictures. He'll join the group soon.

EG--That just means less competition for me when they're available!

How lovely to read you post - I am a great saddlebred fan.  I have 2 (real ones!).  My 5 gaited mare has just celebrated her 29th birthday!

In my opinion there is nothing to beat riding a saddlebred

[thelonehick]

Good to know I'm not the only one here! It's great to hear your mare is still going strong, too. A good 5-gaited horse is just magical.

one of my fave moulds and such a nice colour

Very nice shading, especially around the muzzle.
