Barockpinto Colt at 20 months old-pics!

Haha-actually he's a brat but I don't mind. He's knows how far he can push me & the consequences of pushing further
Now I just need to work out how I can move him & my lamb to where I'm going to study.

Barock is actually spelled Baroque. Hope that does not come off as patronizing but figured in Isreal you might not have many people around who know how to spell it.


He has much nicer movement then I would have expected from a friesian cross. Very nice and floaty and a lot of natural reach. What do you plan to do with him as he matures?

Actually the breed was developed in Germany & is spelled Barockpinto. Not everything can be Americanized-English is my mother tongue
They do have a studbook & licensed stallions etc. They are becoming very popular in Europe. Luckily, because tobiano is so easy to breed for, the breed has avoided becoming a "Krazy Kolor" breed & does focus very much on performance, conformation & movement.

I'll be putting him in harness in the next year & then when he's old enough, dressage/jumping/display work

Baroque is Italian not Americanized. I have only have seen breeders post Baroque Pinto when in English never Barock. Best of luck to you with him.

Never ever seen the breed referred to as baroque pinto. It's one word-here's their site

Normally i wouldn't make a point of it, but Dreamgait Friesians recently imported their horses from Europe & have Americanized the name. I followed the exports from this side. In the Baroque magazine, I see horses of baroque type with no horses of the breed Barockpinto & I guess if 130 people like a group on Facebook, it must mean that it is the correct spelling especially when they say that all breeds are welcome & the Barockpinto studbook has very specific allowances.

Hey now. No malice was ever intended in my original post. I said I had never seen it spelled that way. You said you had never seen it spelled baroque. I was just showing you what I had seen. I was not arguing with you at all about the spelling. No reason to become sarcastic about thigns because others have not seen the same things you have. I was only attempting to be helpful, and have only tried to be polite here.

I guess we misunderstood each other. I am aware that a medieval cresty, roman nosed horse is called Baroque type. However, I am referring to a specific breed called the Barockpinto, which is spelled this way because of it's origins. Linking to a group on Facebook with small membership as proof of a point is always going to get that reaction
