Irish Draught

While I am certainly no expert on the breed, I really wouldn't be surprised if Timex is an Irish Draught or an Irish Draught cross of some sorts. I spent part of two summers training in Ireland and fell in love with their horses. So much so that there was even an attempt to bring one of them back with us (but of course when an American was interested in the mare the price went up and on top the importing costs it just wasn't logical). Many of the horses I rode there resembled Timex or lighter versions of Timex (Timex is big).
This mare here certainly resembles Timex

And here is a link to the Irish Draught website:

i think timex might need a friend...a kitten friend. perhaps a big black egyptian mau that could be relocated to live with timex? just a thought, then they could be 'ebony and ivory' and live together in perfect harmony
