Would be interested to know what the weirdest cross bred is. Shetland X Donkey or Arab X Donkey. you could enter in Partbred MM or the ArabX in Part bred arab classes at shows. Any one got any pics too.....

Zebra X Love

Our local show used to have a donkey derby- one was donkey x zebra. Was the hardest to ride as had a cracking buck!
Looked like a donkey but with stripey legs!!

my friend has what we belive to be a fresian x highland... shape of a fresian - 15.3 - with the fresian legs and build but a highland head and in silver dun, complete with dorsal stripe and zebra markings too....

stunning!
 
He is stunning!!
Our old neighbour has a norwiegen fjord (sorry if thats spelt wrong!) x arab, he was lovely, bit like a fjord but taller and finer, with a more araby face and a long mane, although he did have the two-tone mane they have. Was stunning!

Unfortunately sold him last year, had baby and had to cut down on the number of ponys i had.
Bet yours is nice, I like the Trakenher bit of class, with gypsy cob must be a nice sort.. any pics!

Not weird exactly but when I lived in Kenya it was common to see horsexzebra or donkeyxzebra being used as pack animals

ohhhhhhhhhhhh I want one
 
Well I thought Emily was VERY odd when I got her - she was Shire x Hannovarian - this was *counts back* a good 14 years ago (YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKES) when Shire X's were not heard of - never did get to the bottom of how/why she was bred like that!
 
yard i know has got a shetland x shire and another has a NF X shire - very odd to see and 18.2 new forest as everything about him is NF except the size!!
 
I have an Arab x Connemara.

My little mare was Arab x Shire! and my oldest mare was arab x quarter horse.

(I have a thing for part bred arabs if you hadn't noticed!)
 
I had a Norweigian Fjord x TB. Had TB feet and legs, and the rest of him was Fjord. He also had the speed and temperament of a TB
 
shetland mare, shire stallion - accident apparantly. it's about 15 hands now. the good thing is that foals only tend to grow to what the mare can carry and then make up the growing once they are born.

I know 2 of these, one is a very large happy hack and the other was owned by my trainer and he competed sucessfully at prix st george! i had the odd lesson on him and my god was he wide!!!
 
I have a coloured half bred arab(dams 1/4 cleveland bay 1/4 cob and 1/2 tb) and looks very like your cob cross arab park ranger. they make a nice mix.

at my old college there was a shire cross Shetland (or it may of been a smaller highland x???) but he was an AI experiment apparently. he was called beano, was black and was about 14.2hh with huge feet! he was fine except he didn't like being mounted - you would have to surprise him by getting a leg up on the off side! but once he got going he was actually quite a nice ride (just looked a little stupid) xx
 
thanks photos don't do her justice as shes got the attitude to match. Every one stops and stares at her when she goes showing and says what a lovely colt
