That's too funny! Right now, my Haflinger looks neither classic nor modern, but simply like a giant stuffed animal. We clipped in late October but it grew out already! I'll post some pics come spring when she sheds out. She's a great horse. I'm so happy I discovered this breed.
Nope, that Gregory Peck movie is from the 1950's...I looked up the title you suggested and it says it's a 1983 film. This one was pretty old...back when Gregory Peck was major eye candy!

I know both of my guys have gone through numerous changes since they were weanlings and they continue to change now at age 7 and 9, respectively. If I keep their weight down and keep them fit, they look very different and much better than when I let them slack off and get too heavy. And they perform better, which makes a lot of sense when you think about it. They're much more willing and capable when they're in shape. I'm training both of mine in dressage and we're starting to do some baby jumps. But first and foremost, mine are carriage ponies. It's a decided advantage when it comes to getting them in shape fast. I hitch them up together and say 'Trot it off, boys'. LOL! I can bring them back from too-chunky to classic in about a week with that method. :-).... OK, before anybody gets their knickers in a knot, I really do know all about conditioning a horse and I don't actually do it that abruptly.
