This is my young Arab x Trakehner mare. Her sire was a pure bred arab who had done well in endurance and was a 'Sky Arabian' and came from the famous Sky Crusader line. Her dam was a Trakehner mare who is by Downlands Hasardeur. My mare is rather fine and has the paces of a warmblood with the speed, intelligence and willlingness of the arab coming through... Im thrilled to bits with her and wouldn't hesitate to have another part bred arab. Here's my girl (apologies for the overload of photos):

Wow i met Sky Crusader in the flesh years ago and what a lovely stallion he was.Our grey in my avatar is ISH/SF and has a definite Arab face.The picture does not show it that well,but he looks like a big version of an Arab facially and is the most beautiful horse.Very hardy and kind too.Historically Arabs seem to have the most influence on other breeds.

Alwin Schockemöhle's Rex The Robber, a great icon of the seventies was 50% Arabian and he won the European Silver Medal at Hickstead in 1973. Many of us grew up being inspired by such horses, little knowing at the time that so much Arabian blood was coursing through their veins.

Rex the Robber was my favourite show jumper when i was a child and it was so lovely to see a German rider succeed on an Anglo Arab as opposed to a WB.Believe Rex the Robber was Shockemohles favoured horse too.

as a breeder of Arabs I do of cause believe the Arabian has a lot of good sides to add to other breeds... I have bred a few Anglos by my one stallion and they are super, he also has fantastic part bred progeny.

Danish Warmblood, Trakhener, Hannoveranian all accept pure bred Arabs in their stud books....

most of the high level sporthorses does have Arab blood somewhere if you look back.... Milton was part bred Arab
