This is Minot. She is a 3yo Percheron/ Thoroughbred cross filly and is about 16.1+ hands. She was a PMU baby (we adopted her from PMU FANI back in April 2005), so I'm pretty sure her dam was the Perche and her sire was the TB. I got her when she was a little under a year old, and was wormy and really skinny. (See before pictures...) She is now under saddle and doing really well. I ride her about every other day, and even we able to canter for the first time u/s a week ago. (a BIG deal for her lazy self! ;D) I plan on doing hunter with her, and possibly eventing someday if we do well enough.
Temperament wise, she is pretty much a big dog (completely the opposite from when she was wild and scared as a baby) She is on the lazy side of the spectrum, but is ironically a pretty graceful mover. I have lunged her over trotting poles, and she really picks up her feet and moves nicely. Undersaddle, she feels almost gaited (even though she def isn't!) because she is SO smooth.

Oh wow! She looks so grown up and so stunning! I bet she and Bandit would be good friends, he's on the lazy side too. ;D
