Boy that was tricky; I actually know very little about horses (my younger self would be so disappointed) so the first thing I had to do ws look up Warmblood horses, and then driving horses, for the purposes I required. After about half an hour or so of finding horses that didn't quite fit (I almost went for Nonius, but really frustratingly they tend not to be chestnut unless it's liver chestnut) I finally found the Alt-Oldenburger.

I adore this little beauty and I love warmbloods, they are just so beautiful, took a little while before deciding what breed he was going to be, first of all I thought Gelderlander, but he looks like he shouldn't be a heavy WB so then I thought Dutch but no, I have never seen a chestnut Dutch, then a Trakehner came to mind, and I thought he would suit the breed just fine, the name was just a random word with the last name of a stud I like so yeah.

Below is an extract from Leyla O'Donoghue's diary. Just something for those who have a little time on their hands and would like to know a little about the Gelderlander.

When I first saw him, I knew that he had to be a warmblood. Strong and brave he was but, despite being a stallion, he did not strike me as overly temperamental, in one sense of the word at least. As the minutes went by, I began to notice how quick he was to react to things such as a gate closing or a car horn honking in the distance. He wasn't flighty, per say, but he could be with the wrong handling. I resolved not to let him met such a fate. The stallion was sensitive, which was something desirable in a dressage horse; with proper training, imagine how well he could respond to my aids! I had dealt with horses of a wide variety of shapes and sizes, with many crossbreds among them, but something told me that this horse was not one of their number. As he trotted around the paddock, picking up on my curiosity, I noticed the grace and pride with which he moved his muscular body. It certified my notion that the horse was a definite breed. The notion trigged an obvious question; if he was of set breed, what breed was he?
That evening, I prepared myself to do some serious research. However, while many people of my age group may reach for the internet to help them in such a situation, I pulled several heavy books on horse breeds off a perpetually overflowing pine bookshelf. The first of the books yielded no information, although I did enjoy looking at its spellbinding photographs of many famous horse breeds which the stallion I had met clearly didn't belong to. However, I had more luck with the other two books. After seemingly a lifetime of searching, I found a breed that seemed to perfectly match the horse I'd seen earlier. It was the Gelderlander, a Dutch horse breed which stood between 15.2 and 16.2 hands high and was predominantly chestnut. The images of Gelderlanders also matched the horse's conformation with startling accuracy, particularly the pictures of the Gelderlanders who had found fame in showjumping and even dressage. I looked at them and I couldn't help but think 'Could he be one of them? Could he be a Gelderlander star?'.

This was so hard to judge! Dx I'd say I won't be doing one like this again but I probably will because it was also a lot of fun (until I had to pick the winer) ^^

Congrats, HeroHorse! It was super close to the Wielkopolski, and I actually spent a good hour just trying to make up my mind ^^' Ultimately it came down to markings -- the Gelderlander typically has more white on the legs, while the Wielkopolski is more minimally marked. That's from what I've seen, anyways c: Anyways, congratulations!
