Would you breed..........

[S_N]

..... a 17.2hh ID X TB mare (big angular head with a piggy eye, low set on neck, exceptionally long in the back, poor movement, with a history of stifle and hock problems - though did hunt a season with an MFH) to a 14.2hh Show Pony (albeit an extremely successful one)?

Is this a trick question?

Surely this is a no brainer??

 

[StaceyTanglewood]

Why? I didn't do it!! I advised against it TBPH. The aim is to breed an 'intemediate hunter'

 

[the watcher]

I wouldn't, but it sounds like somebody has!

 

[amandathepanda]

I just hope the foal comes out more like the show pony!

Well it wont be any funnier then a labs head on a corgi body, now that did look strange.

Well you could end up with a sausage dog type horse.........i.e. very long in the back with 14.2hh pony legs!!

Talking of odd crosses, I was born in Kenya & they used to have Zebra crosses because they were more managable as pack animals etc, but were tough as old boots. I wonder who thought of crossing a donkey with a horse & why?

Now anyone got a shetland x shire?

But amazingly the stallion owner agreed to go along with it! What on earth were they thinking of, and how on earth could it help the reputation of their stallion. Obviously refusing a stud fee never came into their mind. and then people wonder why the Germans, Dutch, Fench and Danes laugh at us.

 

[amandaco2]

i wouldnt breed the mare full stop.

 

[magic104]

Well as one stud owner put it "If I turned away all the bad mares I would be out of business".
