Timberwood Wild Horses, first seen in Ireland, are a mix of Belgian Drafts, Mustangs and the local Connemara horses. Due to a burning barn in 1968 a lot of horses were released, the ones that were not found then joined the Connemara herds around and forgotten about. A couple years later, foals with unusual coat colors and a drafty appearance were spotted that could not possibly be pure Connemara ponys. One of them was captured and gene tested which revealed among others the above named breeds. The foal grew up to be a very well tempered, strong and pretty individual, so the responsible Timberwood Sanctuary left them alone, closely monitoring the development of those horses and their offspring. Annually, similar to the Mustang Makeovers and Dülmener Wild Horse Event, a couple of the horses are captured and auctioned off to regulate their numbers within the herds. All of them and their offspring must be registered by the TSR (Timberwood Sanctuary Registration). Nowadays the Timberwood Horse is known widely and the captured horses and their offspring exported all over the world for competitions and as working horses. Due to being crossbred, they can appear in pretty much any color variations and even developed a bunch of markings only seen in those horses, they range from 13 to 17hh.
