Breed assignment for Jubilation
The_Horsey_Swiftie
Friday, October 31, 2025 9:02 AMWhat breed should I show my Jubilation (the pinto Fjord from best of bf set this year) as? My mum and sister suggested an Icelandic but I'm not entirely convinced he fits that.
appaloosa
Friday, October 31, 2025 11:26 AMHe looks like some kind of Fjord x Pony cross to me (and you're right = Icelandics typically don't have a roached mane like Fjords do)
Fjord x British Shetland
Fjord x grade pony
Fjord x Paint pony
etc, etc..
Good luck!

I strongly dislike it when Breyer does unrealistic colours on moulds which can actually only really be shown as one breed and that breed doesn't have many colour options because it makes finding a breed for them a pain in the bum 😑ðŸ˜

Sunday, November 9, 2025 11:36 AMYou could also look up Fjord x Gypsy. I have a picture of that cross that has very much the same body type as Lyric. (Can’t remember if the mane is roached in my photo though) Or just try to show it as a pony with a roached mane. There always seems to be a lot of hang up on the mane looking like that but most horses’ manes stick straight up like that for a while if they’re cut way down
edit: no idea where half my comment went.. but I went completely unhinged with mine and decided to use a picture of a Fjord x Saddlebred that I happened to have and looks similar enough to Jubilation. I certainly haven’t expected it to place at all because that’s such an out of left field breed assignment but he appears to have in the most recent time it’s been shown. (I also could not tell you why a Fjord x Saddlebred exists other than to maybe hope for a medium length neck?? But the owner repeated the cross at least several times.)
