Haflingers, 100%!! My pony is a Haflinger. She's 4, and about 14.2 hands. Absolutely beautiful; she's dappled gold in color, with a long flowing flaxen (white) mane and tail. Honestly, she looks kind of like a genetically mixed QH/Arab (though, of course, she's 110% pure ^_~) because she has a beautiful dished face, and an elegant arched neck, but is slightly stocky like all Haffies are...
My second favorite breed would either be QHs, Thoroughbreds, or Arabs, though I can't say that I've ever ridden an Arabian...

This is my Tennessee Walker Which is my favorite breed. I Also like Quarter Horses and Miniatures.

He's gorgeous! :D Do you have a picture of him in stance? We came very close to purchasing a black Tennessee Walking Horse! :D

My very favorite would have to be Friesans. I think they are absolutely STUNNING. I love black animals anyway...Unfortunately, they are VERY expensive, $20,000 and up and not very common. (Martha Stewart has a few. I read in a magazine that she doesn't let them out during the day as it will fade their coats so she only lets them out early morning and early evening.)
I also love Saddlebreds. I love their long long legs and l o n g necks...I grew up riding them though so I'm prejudiced.
Quarter horses are great too. They are like the golden retreivers of the horse world! ;) Most of them are very even-tempered and pleasant to be around. And they are very well-rounded. You see them in almost every different type of riding arena, hunt seat, western...I belong to AQHA and have seen them doing dressage too. Unfortunately for me, I am fairly tall and most quarter horses are around 15 hands although I have seen some larger ones. I was looking to buy one this summer named Cooley that was 15.3. Unfortunately the deal fell through but he was a doll! And perfectly square from the front and rectangle from the side!! He won every halter confirmation class he was ever in. I wil have to post a pic sometime as I still keep in contact with his owner. Anyway, I would look ridiculous on a small horse, with my legs hanging to the ground! LOL!!:)

Here's a picture of my pony and I...this was last year, our very first show together! And I do look about nine there...really, I am 15...

Gypsy Vanners are amazing!

Haflingergal, your horse IS beautiful!!! I noticed that you are from Upstate NY....where are you from? I live in PA now but I'm from Syracuse,NY. My aunt owned stables and a riding academy in Baldwinsville, NY for 20+ years. Are you from anywhere around there?
I agree...those Gypsy Vanners are gorgeous! I have never heard of them...which is unusual because I read every horse book I can get my hands on and thought I knew it all!! ;)
How large are they? It's hard to tell from the pictures...
-
Gypsy Vanners are a bit smaller then Clyde's with the very unique pinto pattern! :D I agree they are stunning! :D How about my girl now? Shes a bay TB named Jewel! :)
Sorry, the pics aren't great, it was really foggy out that day! ;)
She doesn't look that magnificent either, her winter coat was just finishing up and shes not in tack....
