I could not find any information on his exact breed. But he looks like a Connamara, a breed that originated in Ireland, and is in fact a pony breed, despite that fact that it's common for Connamaras to measure over 14.2 HH, which is the height cutoff for ponies. Gunpowder's real name was Goldeneye. He had only one good eye and was adopted by Depp when he learned Goldeneye was to be put down.

The other horses in Sleepy Hollow are much easier to identify. The Headless Horseman, played by Christopher Walken, rode a Fresian as did Brom in that movie. The stepmother rode an Andalusian, another very old European breed.

*Kudos to Mr. Depp for his kindness to a one-eyed horse doomed to euthenasia.

The headless horseman rode a Freisan. Considered a 'warmblood', they are Spanish in origin.

Friesians are not warmbloods, but a light draft. The breed is founded in the Netherlands. The Headless Horseman most likely rode an Andalusian or some other Spanish breed, as the horse was purchased in Spain

Looks like a Brabant, a draft breed of smaller stature than other draft breeds. Roan coloration is chatacteristic. Not an Andalusion as asserted by Lucy Watson on "Of Horse"
