Pretty boy!

[CaddoCinnamon]

What breed is he? He has got to be draft I want to say fresian but there aren't any feathers that I can see. I don't know my drafts as much. He is pretty though I am a sucker for black horses.

He's a Percheron, Cheval owns a Perch as well.

He's a cutie Steve!! I have a friend who is starting to try and teach her Perchs to pull. . . do you often do training? Just curious. You're not to far from her and if it goes really wrong (lol) you might be just the ticket!

[CaddoCinnamon]

Are Perch's common in black? I thought that they were mostly dappled grays. Like I said I don't know them very vell.

[offgridgirl]

nice bum!!;)

So that's what a Perchie looks like at a healthy weight! I need to show Allegro his photo.

Oooh he's handsome! What's his name and how tall is he? Whare are you training him for - riding, driving, or both?

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a beautiful horse!!!

There is this lady at the barn that told me my horse would be going grey soon. I asked her why and she said, "Percherons don't stay black". I was like, okay, that'll be your little secret. :rolleyes:

What all are you going to do with him? You should show videos. Would love to see them. I just posted a video yesterday of fat boy running a bit in the pasture. He into a canter from a stand still.

You better be giving regular updates!!

Oh, and how could you want those silly brown fluffy feets of yours after having this regal equine on your property?!! I do not know how. ;)

Some do go grey...some don't...it's all in the genes.

What all are you going to do with him?
Manners, driving and riding....in that order. He's about 4 right now, and he's gonna be B-I-G when he gets done! But, he is lacking in social graces.

You should show videos. Would love to see them.
For a slight fee :p

:hysterical:

Steve

[cheval]

I will pay the fee!!

Solon's getting white in his mustache and that's about it. If they go grey don't they start a lot earlier than 12? I thought they did.

Only 4? Wow, he is going to be a big boy. I can't wait to hear more!

[JackieB]

Yes, very common. Black, and the dappled grey, as you mentioned. Magnificent horses.

[valleyrider]

Very pretty boy you got there for training. If he is only 4,, he will be growing a bit more.. How tall is he now?

[HoustonFarrier]

Solon's getting white in his mustache and that's about it. If they go grey don't they start a lot earlier than 12? I thought they did.

Yes. then generally start to grey around 2. If he's 12 and still black...he's gonna stay black !

Steve

[CaddoCinnamon]

Then he will be a big boy. I will be watchin this thread.
