Basenji + Horse = ?

Just out of curiosity - what happened to Charlie's chest? It looks like the hair is missing in a big strip across the front.

Thanks all, glad you liked the photos :D

@Whoalookitsme:

Gorgeous Pictures! I noticed the white brand on Charlie Is he a mustang?

Thats a freezemark for identification if he were stolen. He's a connemara, a native irish breed.

Great Pictures! My dog Spranky used to play whit my Shetland pony?s but they were way too enthousiastic so Spranky was always staying a few meters away from them :D

As in pony? Connemara? I had a 1/2 when I was a Junior rider years and years ago… he seems a bit bigger?

Charlie is only 14.2 :D He's a proper old fashioned type though so built like a tank. He looks and rides a lot bigger than he is :D

The pictures are great!! My daughter is raising a lamb for 4-H. She keeps him at a friends ranch. Mojo loves to chase the lambs- he likes to try to round them up and get them back in their pen. The only problem? I have to run and keep up with him- I keep him on his leash- I'm not comfortable letting him run with the lambs. I'm scared he'll get to close and get trampled. Maybe I'm just a worry wart!!!!

[Anubis's Mommy]

Anubis is absolutely terrified of my horses. I have 3. A B/w Paint (Scout) a Thoroughbred (Jett) and a mustang (Ace). (My parents have like 4 others that are theirs but my 3 have grown up with dogs but Anubis hasnt grown up with horses. He gets his ridge going and gets scared when the lean over the fence to smell and say Hi. Its pretty funny actually. He thinks he can whip every dog (including the neighbors Great Pyreneese who comes around to say Hi sometimes) around but horses hes terrified of.

LOL! I was just reading a post on identifying a basenji mix…

So when I saw this thread I immediately thought the basenji was crossed with a horse... or some big-as-a-horse canine.

Anyway, beautiful photos! And thanks for the [unintentional] chuckle!

And here I thought all Connemara ponies were white! LOL

These are great pics. I love the one of the horse rearing while the B is leaping like a mad thing in the background.
