The person who identifies the 10 horse breeds correctly first will win a mystery prize from TRPD for the rescue of their choice. Some of the horses are British breeds, some continental. Good luck! No 1 No 2 No 3 No 4 No 5 No 6 No 7 No 8 No 9 No 10

I'm impressed, Ruth!! (blue - correct/accepted, red - wrong)
1 - Gypsy vanner – I think I’ll accept this. In Germany we call them “Tinker ponies”, but I believe in GB that’s incorrect. I only had “cob” down for this one, anyway. 2 - Haflinger pony - correct 3 – Hanovarian nope, wrong area of Germany 4 - Highland pony - correct 5 - Shetland pony - wrong 6 - Irish draft - no, not from the British isles and not a draft horse 7 - Black forest horse – not quite, wrong area of Germany 8 - Norweigian fjord pony – correct 9 - New forest pony - nope, a German bred different British pony 10 - Welsh pony of cob type (section C) – nope, it’s definitely a horse! The girl next to it is nearly as tall as I am – over 5’8’’. And it’s German bred.

It's so much harder when it's "ordinary" horses and 'ordinary' photos taken by owners/friends instead of photos from a stud, isn't it? ;D (The Norwegian I had other photos of - but those horses are sooo distinctive I couldn't use any other photo than this 'rolling' one! He's a trained horse for medieval festivals, his owner does archery on horseback etc. Amazing!)
JackySian 1. Correct 2. Correct 3. Wrong area, right type 4. Correct 5.CORRECT 6. Wrong area – right type 7. Wrong 8. Correct 9. Wrong 10. No – German type of horse, also seen in Ireland, not, to my knowledge, in GB. Name suggests what the horse does.

Ooooh, Ruth, one is the right one for the wrong horse, the still missing one is the same word as a certain type of rough fabric. by the way - "the right one for the wrong horse" is the same area I'm from - get your maps out!

RuthE has won it!!!! Congratulations!!! I'll let Al know you won - could you let her know which rescue to send the prize to? (Just incase anybody is interested - no 6 is my sister's horse, my all-time favourite because he's just LOVELY (great temperament, now a spoilt brat since being an "OAP"), the girl with the Trotter is a friend of mine, the trotter was a great hacking horse and great fun to gallop over the big fields we had near the stable once she'd re-learned to canter/gallop as she's an ex-racing trotter. Trotter-racing is probably the German equivalent to Greyhound racing - and as you know from horse racing, not necessarily much better from the animal welfare point of view if the horse/dog isn't much good or too old!)

Thank you for a great quiz Jutta - that got the brain working a bit. Number 6 has such a kind face. I'll PM Al tomorrow. Perhaps I should do a breeds quiz when I have a bit of time to go through my photo albums and scan some pictures, then you can take part.
