HTobago used to own a little arab stallion that evented.
His name escapes me for the moment but I can clearly see in my mind a photo of him flying across country. (Maybe General Lee Gold?)

It was indeed General Lee Gold, who competed at Novice when that was where you started and you had to carry a weight of IIRC 12 stone min. He was only 15.1 but a giant of a horse in himself
Sadly my own little AA mare who looked as though she was going to be a bit of a star picked up a virus at about the time she was due to start BE100 and never really got back into it after that. I have to do a gratuitous picture though

Watch this space - in a few years!
Sparks, AKA Maesfen Taboo was bred by myself specifically for a performance career; by H Tobago x Witches Broom so full Anglo Arab. If he's anything like his half sibling, Kitty, then he'll be just what the doctor ordered.

Yep, Tamarillo was bred by the Biddesden Stud http://www.biddesdenstud.co.uk/10467.html
They've specialise in arabs and part-breds, based just down the road from us so see plenty of them out hunting etc, I think if you get the right cross they can do fairly well.

Mum knew Finn well back in the late 70's and his brother Erskine. What percentage was tamarillo? If anyone might know?
Wow, lovely maesfen! You must be very pleased!

My anglo arab evented to 2* with his previous owner and stepped down due to injury, which is why she sold him. He is 20 now and very much going strong, he lives for his eventing and I event him up to BE100 (which is my limit). He really is a horse of a lifetime and means the world to me, he has carried me round anything I have ever wanted to do and shows me the way, a very special and truely amazing horse.

Anglo-arabs are popular in France for top-level eventing. There was a couple of them entered in the CIC*** at Fonatainebleau last weekend.
