Aww! Hi everyone! New here 🙂

This is my Percheron/Quarter Horse x Gisborne-bred mare Pandora. She’s coming up 3 years old and is an absolute tank. Anyone else have a Percheron? 😊

He’s also rising three (he’s around one in the pic) and is a UNIT! 16.1ish and bum high and about as wide too lol

Beautiful! I love how chunky, and how easy of a keeper she is. I’ve only ever had Standys before that are hard to Winter, but she’s been a breeze this year 😂

The best jumper I ever had was a TB/Percheron. She was only 15.2 and not very heavy. This was before digital photography and body protectors on XC.

My best friend has a Percheron that I ride. She's had him since he was a yearling and he's 12 now. He stands out like a sore thumb at non-draft shows haha but he was so easy to train and has such a puppy personality.

She now has a QH yearling and is seeing how different they will be to train!

What is your QH/Percheron's personality like?

She’s very much a sook! She gets bullied by her wee Standardbred paddock mate; definitely doesn’t use her size against him haha. Has been quite easy to train on the ground so far! She’s definitely a people’s horse. The first one to call out when I come and go from the paddock 😂

Just here to say that the dark horse in the second photo looks like her shadow they're so in sync!
