What is your favourite crossbreeds

[bryngelenponies]

Would also like to see more Welsh x Trakehners.

Totally agree, think they can make lovely crosses.

Friesian x Saddlebred or Friesian x TB - make some wonderful sport horses!

 

[mulledwhine]

Welsh cob x tb, AA x tb, I am biased lol

 

[mimbulator]

Sorry if this sounds a bit thick but doesnt "Anglo" mean 50% Thoroughbred? So anyhing half Tb would be classed as an anglo.
Would that make my mare a Anglo Clydesdale?

I always understood it that an anglo arab is thoroughbred x arabian in any capacity as long a said horse has a minimum 12.5% arabian.

Tamarillo is somewhere around the 25% + mark I believe, but he isn't an AA as his sire was registered as a PBA.

Anglo Arab is 50% TB 50% Arab - any other percentage is a partbred.


My favourite is TB x Clydesdale - Clydesdale mum and TB dad - I breed them so am very biased

My 3yr old - as a yearling

Anglo Arab is 50% TB 50% Arab - any other percentage is a partbred.

Well the rules must have changed in recent times as that certainly isn't how it used to be. If that were the case an awful lot of the Anglo-Arabs I have known/seen couldn't be classes as such.

To me an Anglo-Arab has been, and always will be - despite any rule changes - a mixture of Arab and Thoroughbred blood in any proportion.

 

[Pheme]

Part bred Arabs, Arab-Welsh, Arab-Connemara, Arab-Morgan, and the classic Anglo Arab

Indeed - AA's are also partbreds (they are known as part breds in the USA), but the amount of blood from each breed can vary a lot. For example, I own a TB mare and a friend owns an Arab mare... we are both interested in the same AA stallion for use in future years (he is 50/50), our foals would both be AA's, mine would be 75% TB + 25% Arab blood and hers would be 25% TB blood and 75% Arab blood.

As far as I am aware (as with many part breds or 'crossbreeds') you can have up to 87.5% of one breed and 12.5% of the other for it still to be classed as an Anglo Arabian.

I do think it is a shame that other common partbreds ie Welsh x TB cannot be known as Anglo-breeds, I would love to be able to show and compare them as you can AA's!!

An Anglo arab does not have to have 50% Arab and 50% TB, It is as long as it has 25% arab blood and only TB and arab blood, any less arab blood or any other breed mixed in then it is classed as a Part Bred Arab.
It can also be an anglo arab if it has a low % of TB blood, such as 75% arab, 25% TB.

Yes I think that is right, I couldn't find that anywhere but I have definitely seen that before!
