thanks, she is a real sweet girl. She is only 15.2 It seems like she has only grown 1 inch in the the last 10 months. I sure hope she gets to at leat 16 hands, my last horse I had for 30 years, and she was only around 14.2 . I always wanted a BIG horse. but whatever, she's the best!

Not that I'm an expert on horse breeds, but her mom looks like she's either a full percheron or a "mostly" percheron to me... She has that sort of build and bone structure. I think of all the draft horses, percherons have the most refined faces  I heard that back when they were developing the breed, they cross-bred them with Arabians to get that extra elegance. Percherons make really nice crosses with other breeds, I think. Your girl's mom is really a looker  It's interesting that Tonka is a bay with a mom that's a gray. Must not have inherited that gene.

Tonka is a real beauty! She has such a pretty face and legs and well, everything!  Do you know how tall she was at 1 year old? I am very curious about my girl's mature height and she is just 1 year now.
