HOW
DO YOU BREED A MORAB
F1;
F2; F3 Represents First; Second; Third Generations
Offspring
of a Registered Purebred Arabian and a Registered Purebred Morgan.
This offspring is the F1 Morab.
A
F1 Morab (100%) bred to another 100% Morab creates consecutive
generations of Morab. ALWAYS 100% Morab bred to another 100%
Morab.
This
is how we develop the Morab breed in Canada. In compliance with
the Animal Pedigree Act and by adhering to strict breeding practices
we will reach full breed status when we have a minimum of 60
- F1, 100 - F2 & 200 - F3 Morabs.
Breeding
a 100% Morab to something other than another 100% Morab is considered
out crossing & the offspring will not qualify as a Morab.
All
Morabs registered with the "Canadian Morab Association"
will be 100% Morab; no less no more.
THE MORAB'S
DESCRIPTION
The following type and conformation qualities are inherent and
essential to all Morabs, whether they are show stock or family
pleasure horses.
General Appearance: The look of the Morab is that of

Mane and Tail: Full bodied and of good length. High tail
set carried showily.
Back and Hip: The shape of their hindquarters and the
pelvic angle set the Morab apart from other breeds. A short
back, with muscled hip of good length and a horizontal pelvic
build endowing the Morab with a full croup that is slightly
sloped and a naturally high tail set.
Chest: At maturity the Morab exhibits a broad chest through
out the heart and lung area. This extra room combined with the
full neck gives the Morab great endurance and stamina.
