Stating the obvious
I am about to state the obvious about horses that combine different, well-established bloodlines: sometimes they look like horses of one bloodline, and sometimes like horses of the other bloodline, depending on the angle, the stage of growth, the light, etc.
Jamr, who is roughly half Davenport, half Doyle (i.e., Blunt), sometimes reminds of me his sire Vice Regent CF, like in the picture below; at other times, he reminds me of his paternal grandsire Regency CF (but he’s not nearly as good); and yet at other times, he looks like his material grandsire Dib, a Crabbet/Doyle horse.
Vice Regent has a longer neck; his son has a better coupling, and longer hip (at least in this picture of Vice Regent, I have never seen him in real life). Both are smooth-bodied.
The heads also look the same, with the small muzzle and the deep jowls. Vice-Regent’s eye is larger, but I think it’s because the muscles around the eyes, including those of the eyelids, are stronger and more dense in Doyle horses than in Davenports.
Vice Regent CF had considerable age on him when these were taken, so muscling wasn’t what it was when he was in his prime.
That said, I am truly glad Jamr is beginning to live up to your hopes!
And you are correct about the muscling around the eye cages.
Agreed. At first glance this horse’s silhouette made me immediately think of Doyle/Blunt. They have such a flowing way about their rounded edges. At closer inspection I can definitely identify Davenport traits as well. He is a lovely horse!
