Can someone breed me a...

[LadyGascoyne]

Suffolk punch x cremello Andalusian?

Stylish but solid, with enough strength to be husband carrying material. Palomino so it matches Mim, of course. Fabulous trot. Long, luxurious mane and tail. Light feather.

I shall call it the Spanish Punch - or the Sangria?

If you could breed a hypothetical super-horse, what would your combination be?

 

[Christmascinnamoncookie]

I think a coloured warmblood x hunter already exists, so I’m sorted!

 

[blitznbobs]

I would like a Dutch wb cross Shetland so it’s got nice paces but easier to get on

The flip side is that it could be round, hairy and 17hh ?

And if it had the appetite of a Shitland you would go through a 6 string bale a day.....

 

[shortstuff99]

There is a breeder in the UK that breeds Spanish Norman's, which is close enough!

And imagine a strong 17hh with Shetland attitude! ? ?

 

[LadyGascoyne]

I might want a fjord x akhal teke for me to ride.

Brown dun x golden buckskin. 14.3hh x 16hh. Fjords are noted for their placid temperaments whereas akhal tekes...

So a shiny, more athletic fjord with a level head but an accelerator pedal.

 

[ownedbyaconnie]

A Connemara crossed with Kate moss.

Beautiful, pony cheekiness, hardy and native but with a very small appetite and a desire to not be rotund and cost me my life savings in hay.

I know someone who'd help you with your Sangria if you can find the mare.

I'd love to see the potential colour outcomes. I saw a Suffolk cross on Facebook recently which was beautifully dappled grey but on a Suffolk frame.

I love my Suffolk for his temperament and I have to admit, his chesnut colouring means I can get away with out getting all of the stains off him. I wish he was a little smaller so I'd want to cross with something like a fell to keep everything pretty much the same, just smaller.

I choked on my coffee when I read this! I've had 2 Fjords here on livery, and they were both speed demons with zero brakes!

 

[Trouper]

I will only say - be careful what you wish for!!!!! A 17hh shetland attitude - the stuff of nightmares.

 

[ycbm]

A standardbred crossed appaloosa of course ?

That is so interesting! The ones we rode in Denmark were so chilled out. They were very much farm horses though. I wonder if imported ones tend to have more about them and be more like ‘sports’ connies - Sports Fjords ?

You already have a standaloosa. Or is it an appa-bred?

I knew a Suffolk x Arab; she was about 15 hands with a neat little head on a scaled down Suffolk body

How gorgeous - was she chestnut? Or chesnut, technically, for the Suffolks.

 

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

I would like a Westphalian x Highland - Shorter and stockier but more athletic, a mixture of good and poor doer, good feet, nicer temperament, and won't break every 5 minutes.

 

[GreyMane]

I'm imagining the sort of electric fence you'd need for that

 

[tristar]

you have such great ideas, how about pre x akhal teke, or perhaps for me akhal teke x tres sangres, ( arab x tb x pre) and have all that in one horse, dont tempt me, might have a look at akhal teke mares later

but then theres the colour you seem to have a high spec, oh blast i forgot about your husband it might be a bit lightweight for him

Nice. Sort of a Fjord Ghia, in gold.

They certainly do- we've had 2 awesome ones, and currently have a third.
I'd post pics but can't get them to upload ?

 

[Annagain]

Mine is out there anyway - Welsh x ID (or high percentage ID ISH). A Celtic Sport Horse? That bit of fire from the Welsh but the sense of the Irish, a decent amount of chunk but a bit smaller than a draft. Maybe a touch of TB to attempt to make it less of a good doer.

I think I should be sponsored for this. This is my new career goal ?

Nice. Sort of a Fjord Ghia, in gold.

Exactly like that ?

 

[PapaverFollis]

I think someone somewhere breeds percheron x new forests... I could go for that.

 

[PinkvSantaboots]

I have always wanted a pure bred arab that is really dark liver chestnut with flaxen mane and tail, Master Design is the only stallion in this country I know of with the colouring.

 

[ycbm]

Given his hypermobility, standaloosa, definitely ?

I must admit I am severely tempted to allow Deza to accidently get into the field where a stunning bay Highland stallion lives with his mares just up the road and breed a Preland/Highspan/Highberian?
.

 

[cauda equina]

How gorgeous - was she chestnut? Or chesnut, technically, for the Suffolks.

Yes, with no white
She was a lovely little cob, proper 'head like a lady, backside like a cook' job
I thought her breeder was very lucky - no one would want a Suffolk head on an Araby body!

 

[SEL]

I was musing about crossing an appaloosa with a zebra the other day - stripes and spots in one horse.

A highberian would be fantastic!

A preland sounds like what Landrover might launch if it went in to the small car market

That would be hideous ?

I need one of these too, I'd like to order a filly please.

He's a nice stallion and I'm sure there was an old forum member (Jess and Tiger maybe?) who had a performance arab by him that did everything from side saddle showing to eventing astride.

For that colour KA Damascus is the real standout IMO. Sadly in the USA though.
