Not an owner at the moment, does leasing count? My leasee is a 16.2 chestnut KWPN (he's actually my trainers former Grand Prix jumper) that takes a 60 inch girth and a size 3 shoe. I refer to him as the "chestnut beastie." He is the laziest sack of lard, but if you drive him forward and get him to frame it's like this incredible motor connects through the back end, I've never felt anything like it (then again I've never gotten to ride a horse of his caliber before either).
I love OTTBs (and non OT TBs), I'm trying to talk the hubby into getting me one when we move to VA. Hopefully I'll finally get him to learn to ride too, although he has this annoying insistence on riding western, and tells me that he thinks he needs a mustang.![]()
