Henry the Handyman from rags to riches

Came across this 4yo hony in my travels, anyone want to guess his breeding? Standing still he is rather a mish mash of parts, but his movement was a pleasant surprise.

He tracks up nicely and has good free flexible hock and stifle action.

I can’t even begin to guess breeding. I suspect he’s likely either an unexpected cross or an unexpected outcome of a more expected cross?

He has a built-in saddle and I can’t handle it.

If he was in my Neck of the Woods - Amish adjacent - I’d guess Shetland or Hackney Pony in the mix.
How tall?

He’s 15 hands-ish.

The surprising answer to his breeding is…

Out of a grade gaited Tennessee Walker dam by a registered QH stallion. Color came from his mom. He’s barely broke but very level headed.

I’m tempted. Always looking for solid all-around types that can be made up into lesson honies.

Cleaned up, shed out and with some good nutrition, this could be a very very attractive hony. :slight_smile:

You need to take him home asap!! Funnily enough I’m not surprised by his breeding. My girl is a Missouri Foxtrotter/Arab/Paint mix, around 14.2h. She also has funky conformation but can she move! And jump too. If I had the time and space for another horse, I would take another of her in a heartbeat.
