Oh, I think I told you before that he had two Hackney mares that he'd had in this rig before. I got a pictures of one of them. He'd just bred her to his blue roan stallion, hoping to get a fancy stepping racking pony out of the mix...
She reminded me of your Pony, but she wasn't nearly as pretty. Apparently jumpiness and suspicion is an inborn trait of Hackneys coz this little girl sure was. He was given both of them by an old gentleman who had been raising Hackneys for years and was in failing health. The old man said that if they weren't "wired" they weren't any good in the show ring. So I'll bet Pony would be an excellent show harness prospect if you were ever so inclined.
There's definately a resemblance! His mare looks slightly heavier than mine... How tall is she? Mine is about 12 HH.

Heh.... sure ;~D
Seriously, she would be. She's got flash... I just think she has the potential to turn a cart to splinters ;~D Maybe that will be the other thing we try after old age and arthritis kick in ;~D
