Well when you start crossing shetlands with things you just start calling them Shit...

I have never, ever, ever met a shetland cross that could be described as anything other than a butt ugly mongrel!

I do really want a Zebra cross though! They look so cool!

No,No! I had a little companion pony who was Shetland x Welsh, she was really pretty. She had been in our RDA group and was a happy little soul till she decided she had had enough. Zebras, on the other hand, can be really difficult I believe.

I seem to remember a "Pintabian" being a thing for a while, which I believe is a coloured horse with a high percentage of arab blood.

Other cross breeds I have known and loved:

-Aramara (Arab x Connemara)
-Welshmoor (Welsh x Dartmoor)
-Arab Draught (Arab x Irish Draught)
-Shetmoor (Shetland x Exmoor)

ETA: The Shetland x Exmoor just looked like a small Exmoor to be honest, nothing ugly about him!

I don't think pintabians are technically na cross any more as they have to be over 90 something % Arab blood and have a registry.

I am a bit confused about PRE fusions is it anything that's not a Tres sangres or hispano arabe?

My phone autocorrected tre sangres to tree dangers ... Name for a particularly tall cross breed or a drop bear? You choose!
I think the US have it down though.
Arapoloosa or walkaloosa anyone?
Baroque pinto?
Anyone know what an American single footer is?

A fusion is a part bred that is at least 25% APTO graded PRE or a PRE that cannot be registered into the full studbook. Within the PRE fusion there are further classes e.g Spanish Norman etc.
