He's a monster! Maybe some draft in there? I have a friend who has 3 colts out of a 1/2 draft paint mare and a paint stud that are built exactly like Harry. The one even has almost the same markings.

Could be!! If his daddy was a young draft/ draft mix that would make sense. He has a huge chest (Flint does too but he is out of a big QH mare) Harry's neck and shoulder do remind me of a Belgian, but.... I can deal with a draft cross...wide doesn't bother me...I am looking for something not over 15H...Flint is 15.3 and just to tall for me anymore. I love the fact that Margo is 14.2 or 14.3...nice and low to the ground! I would love a draft cross...with Margo's nice even temperment and a draft temperment I might have an even tempered horse! He does get the best nutrition that I can get for him  He eats 1/2 lb of Grow N Win and 1/2 lb of EQ8 along with alfalfa pellets to supplement his pasture and nutrition from his momma. Margo is looking really good too...her topline is starting to finally fill in. She has been doing really good but her top line was still off. Finally decided to add Senior to her diet and that seems to have been what she needed |

Draft crosses are great. My friend has a trail stable and she is switching over alot of her horses to drafts or draft crosses because they are so easy to get along with and just do their jobs with no drama, This is one of my friend's colts probably at around 2-3 months old, I'm 5'6". His mom was about 15 hands. He's only 1/4 draft.  and here is all grown up  |

Well if Harry has very much draft he is likely to get tall. But tall draft cross horse can still be OK. They are usually so good about standing next to a fence or whatever it takes to get on and they don't do that teleport or hard 180 out from under the rider that a lot of the light hot blooded horses will do. From what I've heard the Halflingers and Fjord horses have the draft horse minds in small horse bodies. And Connemara horses too.

Most people are better off with a draft or with half draft. Good, solid horses without the foolishness.

Don't think he is going to be short....LOL But if he has the other two S's them he will be darn good. (The other two S's are smooth and sane.) Drafts are different, much slower, but boy watch out for those feet.

He is getting to be such a big boy...and so well mannered 
This one shows his size in relation to my daughter who is 5'7"
