I got my Amish craiglist mutt pony turned eventer DNA tested! (answer post #22!)

[QUOTE=eponacowgirl;7529605]
Thanks!! I just love that girl. I do everything on her including trail riding bareback in a rope halter. One of my students has started riding her and I’m hoping she will buy her this summer. It breaks my heart to let her go, but she’s maxed out and loves to be someone’s #1.

She has taught me so much- in the words of Kyle Carter: she prefers to be ridden like an UL horse but doesn’t punish you when you don’t ride her that way.[/QUOTE]

I just realized you were in Nashville! I didn’t think there was a whole lot of eventing going on here. I’m in Murfreesboro. Again, lovely horse.

I’m just down 96 where it crosses 840 (across from the castle.) We have a huge eventing community in Middle TN- feel free to stop by one day!

I love her pictures!

Here’s more pics. I never get enough of showing her off. :wink:

Her first season at training- she didn’t really get the whole “ditch” thing:

Thank you! Yeah, you’re not far at all. I’ve heard of your farm, but I have never been there. I will PM you if you don’t mind. :slight_smile:

I just got the DNA/breed results back on my mustang and decided to host a DNA guessing contest. Details on the blog in my signature.

I wish I had known about this a week ago or more. I just lost my mare, but have always wanted to know what breeds she was (I suspect TB/Appy). I wonder if I can find enough hairs in her tail brush with the follicles attached to send in. :frowning:

got my results back

I swore my pmu mare was a morgan/ quarter horse. The results I got back say welsh, Irish breed and pony 1 new forest, highland. Ill try to attach a picture.

She is friggin cute and looks like a blast to ride regardless of her breed! Lovely horse.

I just sent my Welshy type mares tail hairs in yesterday… I can’t wait to see what it brings back!

Well… I got my results back… and she is no where NEAR what anyone guessed…

  1. Caspian
  2. Eastern Warmblood
  3. Rocky Mountain Pleasure.

Not one single drop of welsh anywhere!

Caspians have a lot of the same features as welsh. What is an Eastern Warmblood?

OP, just curious, did you ever send your trainer’s TB/Perch off to be tested? I’m curious how the results will come back.

I ended up getting enough hairs from my mare’s tail brush to send in, and I noticed they cashed my check last week. So I’m waiting impatiently for the results. :slight_smile:

I’m so disappointed…I just got a letter back from them saying my sample was untestable and I need to resample. I wish I could resample, sadly, the mare is gone. I was so hoping it would work. :frowning:
