Belgian/Halflinger cross

[Eli]

The man who is training my horse has a Belgian/Halflinger  cross that is the same size as my curly horse and is broke the best. He is going to put them together and see how they work. And of coarse she is for sale but she is pregnant. I want to see them together a blond with long hair and a red haired curly could be interesting. My question is could be a good team? They match body styles and are about the same weight. Or am I nuts?                           Eli.

If they work good together it doesn’t matter what they look like unless you plan on showing them.My son has a 16.3 HH strawberry roan,and a 16 HH bay as a team.They look like Mutt and Jeff and completely different color,but they work good together.That’s what matters. JMHO

I keep threatting to put my wifes qtr horse paint with my belgium mule, wouldn’t that be a site!  The paint has to have draft in his blood somewhere he is 15.3h and 1450lb with some monster hooves.

This paint is full of p@ss and vinegar and my is dead as they get so I figure one would have to speed up and the other slow down so could make a good team.  I agree with above if you are working them and like both animals why not?

That is what I thought most of my friends have full draft horses that match. I have a curly mare 15 hh 1200 lbs its hard to find two curlies that match. I may buy Scarlet’s sister same size different color but she is not trained and way pregnant. I just don’t need more horses even if I sell the foal it’s break even at best.  Thanks Eli

I went and visited my horse at the trainer today she has been there two weeks and is doing great we drove her a few miles down the road big trucks cars no problems. I can’t believe how calm she is. Over the next two weeks he is going to team her up with the Belgian/halflinger cross and if all goes well I will bring her home to. I would recommend Ernie bontrager to any one he is doing an Awsome job with my Scarlet. Ernie’s 14 year old brother was disking with 7 abreast. Eli

Bontrager is a pretty common Amish name, where are you located? Topeka/Shipshe, IN area?
