The Gypsy was a no-go, too. What about an Azteca?
She might be too firey. She's pretty good at piaffe in hand.

Re: Breed help - small drafty type
The evaluation for the Gypsy got rescheduled for today. I did hear back about the Fjord x, and apparently she's too "animated".

Re: Breed help - small drafty type
I was going to suggest a Fjord, too. I have a 14.0h Fjord/QH cross and she's a gem! I keep her mane short and she's very low-maintenance. Here she is jumping last summer with me aboard (I'm 5'7" and not skinny!). Aggie_jumping_2015.jpg I'm waiting to hear if the Gypsy mix passed her evaluation...

Re: Conformation plus temperament questions
I'm still keeping my ear out for goneriding and the part-lease on the Haflinger. Here's the most current one: http://www.midnightsunranch.com/momsite/lilikoi.php
(I've given up on posting a photo.)
I'm gonna have her temperament evaluated and 30 days put on her.

Re: Conformation plus temperament questions
I could do 15.1 or 2, if I had to, and though I have looked at Andalusions - it seems like you get a lot less training and experience than othhers for similar price. And they're likely too hot and/or too sensitive. But I keep looking, it's just that I don't raise my expectations.

Breeding is kind of the stretch, since there's not much I could do with a baby. However, breeding is something I may get involved in, because for the most part it doesn't have to take a lot of ground help. I wouldn't be much good in an emergency, though.
