Does anyone else have an odd cross breed? Mine is New Forest x ID !!

How the 13.2 Stallion managed to get to the 16.2 ID Mare i will never know

I have a 1/2 New Forest, 1/4Cob, 1/4American Paint. Shes built like a tank with her body, but had newfie legs & can jump like a stag! Shes a super intelligent horse & has the brawn to back up her opinion!
(its Everyting Nice pony in my sig altho that is taken from a very flattering angle!)
 
Mine is supposedly 3/4 TB x 1/4 Fell - no idea if she is or not, lots of people have speculated over the years but as she came with no papers I dont have any idea what she actually is :)
 
Mine is a Dutch Warm Blood X Netherlands Appaloosa

I am ashamed to say when I bought him it was because of his excellent DWB Bloodlines and I was slightly apologetic about the Appaloosa genes it was not until I moved him to a Western Riding Yard that they opened his passport and went into raptures about his Appaloosa Bloodlines which are apparently more impressive than the DWB ones.... Oops

Funny thing is that although he is Western trained and has taken to it like a duck to water occasionally he raises his head tucks in his chin, struts and you can see the DWB bloodlines screaming out at you.
 
I have had on loan a arab x NF (looked like an arab), an arab x appaloosa (looked like a welsh cob!).

I remember seing a horse advertised I wanted once, a TB x Argentian polo pony x Shetland! he was absolutely gorgeous though.
 
I remember falling in love with a Haffie x Shire on Horsemart a few years ago, he was 18.3hh and looked exactly like a supersized Haffie! .. .I wonder what he is doing now - I sooo wanted him!!

i have a welsh x caspian and a welsh A x connie we believe, the welsh was mum, so he has a small chest, head and short legs with a big body and bum... lol
 
I used to have a mare that was out of a mustang stallion and a bucking stock mare. Bucking and stock and mustangs basically look and are built the same, so she wasn't anything strange to look at, but she DID buck, and HARD!
 
We have a fell x tb yearling at my yard, she's such a funny looking little pony has quite a tb body and legs but with more hairy feathers of a fell, quite a pony looking head complete with fell beard and very fluffy ears.

She is so lovely though really hope the owner keeps her till she's older to see how she turns out she can definitly jump anyway as cleared a 5 bar gate at a few months old and several others a few months ago.
 
I know of a warmblood x welsh a type pony! Apparently the stallion escaped from a local gypsy site and some kind soles put it in with a herd of mares and he covered 2 of them! The warmblood is about 16.2 and her son reached about 15.2 the other mare was a welsh A anyway so it only got to 11.2.
Pharaoh is a new forest x thoroughbred and I havent seen many about but I wouldnt say the cross is unusual.
:)
 
We used to have a Welsh D x Shetland at our riding school.

A Welsh D colt got in with a shetland mare and the result was a very sweet 12.2hh welsh d.
 
I know two people who have connemara x irish draughts they make nice alrounders, but it seems unusual mix to me,not a regular crossbreed. someone near me had a pony when she was younger out of a 12hh welsh sec b mare by 16.2 coloured warmblood stallion Starlight Tonto, was an accident it was when tonto was just a youngster and the ancient welshie mare was nannying him and he must have covered her. bt it turned out well, did bsja with him, working hunter upto county level, pony club eventing nationally and when she moved to horses he went to dressage home. a stud near me has just crossed thier hannovarian stallion with thier fell mare.:D

Question,
If a large stallion got to a small mare then how would the foal fit? Surely it would be dangerous for the mare?

I guess Nature does its thing and most of the time its all ok. i've known of bigger stallions getting to smaller mares and the foals are big but they managed. the foals end up bigger than the mares !!!
 
I had a 15.2 hand warmblood x arab broodmare on loan and we were going to put her in foal to a section A stallion. She was most accomodating and even stood down a ditch so he could reach lol!!
We were hoping to breed a nice 13.2 pony but she didn't take :(

The strangest one I've ever heard of was a shetland x arab and that was deliberate! The foal was cute but I have no idea what it looked like when it grew up.
