Is this not a very odd cross???

[amage]

Was reading the story on the homepage about a shire mare fostering a lusitano colt and it has all turned out great but colt owners have said they will send her back in foal to their lusitano stallion. Is this not a very odd cross?

Send the mare of the colt back to the stallion no the foster shire??????

I had some neighbours who used to cross spanish horses with a percheron, they called the product a Norman Horse. They said it would make a good driving horse, or heavyweight hunter.

No more wierd than a TB cross shire or WB cross shire... could be really quite a nice horse.

I am pretty sure that a member on here breeds this cross, cannot for the life of me remember their name though

we breed percherons mares to our PRE stallion here are examples of two of the cross.

There were both out of the same very heavy set french mare and both of these guys have been shown in hunter breeding classes as youngsters and always been placed.

I think this cross is called a Spanish Norman.

And yes, there is someone on here who breeds them, but I can't remember her name either - something with 'silver' in it, I think, but I could well be wrong...

Its my sister who comes on here they are her horses her name on here is silversons.

Could turn out rather smart

the iberian cross percheron is a well known successful cross usually with a lighter percheron mare.
the iberian horses have been infused into many now pure breeds over the centuries and this makes them compatible for cross breeding with quite a few breeds
