There is nothing else quite like them! However, I totally agree with you about mules... I have ALWAYS wanted a long-ear. I think the fancy ones are unbelievably lovely....

Did they have complaints about them scaring/beating the warmbloods?<br /><br />I also love the idea of a mule. I am getting the chance to work with one for the first time and I am super excited.<br /><br />I have been pretty lucky to have had the chance to own several of my "someday" breeds, most of them I never thought I would because I live in the land of stock horses and Arabs. The owned list: Fjord, Haflinger, Percheron, Belgian, Arab, and my home bred Friesian/Pinto Draft filly (she looks like a Friesian/Gypsy, black and white tobiano with hair like you wouldn't believe).<br /><br />Still on the list? A Morgan because I have always liked them, their look, their story, and all. I also have a thing for exotic/European heavy horses that don't exist in the US like Norikers. Ultimate pipe dream?

I hope you don't mind. :D I've been wanting to do a post like this for a while actually. I loved reading this. I was very surprised actually. With all of your normal colored warmbloods I had no idea you liked mules, ASBs, mustangs and color! It was fun learning more about what you like (especially the mules-love them!).

Too bad he came brainfried and hated humans only slightly less than he hated western saddles. Most gorgeous mover, jumper, field stander but such a sad case. For a second he liked cross country but then he remembered the it involved people. I don't know what was done to that horse by the trail rider he came from but it must have been awful.Karinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16408559910428181311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728532494108633757.post-39473907505312831202014-06-01T08:48:18.395-07:002014-06-01T08:48:18.395-07:00Count me in the crazy color camp!

My first pony was a 13 hh quarter pony that was this crazy shade of chestnut I've never seen before AND she had a brand on her left shoulder. We don't know a lot about her history, but she was a show jumper at one point and a western pony. <br />As for crazy colors, my last pony I'm not even sure how to describe. He was dark bay, but he had dun highlights on his butt a d belly in some seasons. On top of that…he had feathers. Yep, curly black feathers. (I thought they looked cute, but my instructor hated them, so bye bye feathers.) <br />As for his story. Tucker was one of those super fancy, purebred, "my horse is better than your despite his obvious flaws" ponies for quite a few years. From what I could tell, the girl who owned him was absolutely terrified of him and only rode him when she went to a show or pony club rally. For a while he was a school horse over at this really fancy private school while the girl who owned him decided she liked acting more and rode a fancy pony from LA. He then got kicked out of the fancy riding school, because he bucked a girl off into a tree. (The tree was in the middle of the arena and he hadn't been out of his stall in something like three weeks.) That's how he ended up where he is now and how he ended up with me. He came with all these labels about how dangerous he was, but in the end, I found him to simply be an extremely misunderstood soul. I'm going to miss him a lot, but I hope one of my old friends will start riding him for me. He could teach her a lot. <br />At this point, I only seem to end up with slightly funky horses.

Of course the fact that he hikes his knees up to his cheeks over stadium fences helps too! I love random and not the norm horses as eventers!
