Does anyone have first hand experience of them? Please don't bother referring me to internet links etc, I'm quite capable of finding them for myself!
I'm curious since it turns out Luka is a quarter Hackney and his breeder said that's partly why he's so very sensitive - I'd put it down to the Welsh Cob half, but maybe he's got it coming from all sides! Don't get me wrong, he's a terribly sweet and kind lad who tries hard, but things that most horses on the yard barely register will turn him into a shaking mess and the only type of handling he responds well to is very calm and patient.
Physically it's produced a nice looking horse who is jaw dropping when he gets moving. I'm not sure some of the dropped jaws are out of jealousy though, I've seen some pretty horrified faces and rapid backing away when he's had a dancing session
