 On the other hand, when my sister and I were teenagers, we had a dun
 Percheron/Tb cross.  She was put together really well, but now that I think

I refer again to our late gelding...Percheron/Morgan cross.  Gooserumped, 
yes, but a fabulous endurance horse.  16 hands, about 1100#, very fast trot, 
very strong, and an excellent trail horse.
