@finelittlefilly - Milton had 8 or more different types of Blood - Thoroughbred ( a lot) - Trakehner - Dutch Warmblood - AngloArabian TB (where he gets his Grey colour from) - Shagya Arab - East Prussia - Oldenburg and Irish Draught.

Monstanta as far as I rem. reading or hearing was 16.1 hh - Michael's horse, silver medal

Think he's a Connemara/ thoroughbred/ Irish draught cross - f. knows how the mix was so perfect - maybe the irish draft n the Conemara were mixed with the other half thoroughbred 2 heat it up! n a perfect balance of fine temperament, athlete & durability were created!! He's amazing :-) He seems so lovable 2 n i remember that his real owners who always kept him, really loved him beyond all the money offered n didn't want him 2 fly 2 the Olympics cos they didn't want him 2 fly X
