Welshx Arab is lovely (our Hamnah's breeding), Iberian crosses are drop dead gorgeous, brave and intelligent... Tomos's are lovely, well worth a peek at her website and I love Anglos but for me the best stallion to use on a purebred mare is a purebred stallion , sorry, I know I am being narrow minded  but for me nothing else comes close.... |

I've got a Welsh x Arab (although 75% welsh) and she is great fun. There was a straight cross Arab Welsh on our yard a few years ago and she was a fab jumping horse and excellent at hunting.
I really like the look of the Hispano Arabe though.. |

| Arabo friesians are gorgeous! Not that I've ever seen one in the flesh, only pictures. I think I read somewhere that the breeding of them is quite restricted because of their huge potential as carriage horses. They tend to be bred more friesian than arab. |

I used to own a arab x welsh, she was lovely but much
more fiery than my pure breds
If i am honest though and i am not saying this to wind
anyone up i believe if you have a pure bred you shouldnt
breed down you should keep them pure. This is just my
opinion. I am not saying that x's do work well just that
if something is pure i personally would keep it that way |

I can see your point here. IMO to cross Arab onto another breed, the Arab should come from the stallion. Pure Arab mares should produce the future pure Arabs. After all a mare has far less chance to reproduce her genes than a stallion. To my mind the Anglos are beautiful, BUT (again just IMO) should only be out of TB mares not the other way round.
Lets face it, anything with Arab blood added is going to be lovely |

Natntaz:
I can see your point... but I do keep my own pure Polish, however if people finds that my boy would be fantastic for producing partbreds, its fine with me as long as I can see a purpose in combining the 2 breeds.
regarding arab x friesian.... I do hope it is ok to post this link to a danish site, a post with pictures of a arabo friesian foal.

I have two rare breeds - Shagya Arabs and Cleveland Bays.
Here is the first cross of the two out of my CB mare who was a Champion Small Hunter. At three months Aurora Leigh is feisty and independent. Having a look round the yard while mum is with farrier.

It does depend what you want them for but I would have to give another vote for the Arab x Saddlebred (AKA American Sporthorse or American National Show Horse).
There arent many in this country and I dont have one..... yet.... so cant post any pictures.
I have to say though I love purebreds but what a sad world it would be if we kept them pure....
... a world with no palomino PBAs  , no Welsh ponies, no Thoroughbreds, no trakehners or Anglos etc etc. Every light horse is descended from the beautiful arabian. Thank goodness our ancestors had the foresight to spread the genes rather than "keep them pure".  |

| I like the sound of the Cleveland Bay x Arab combination, I used to own a TB x CB mare, she was a fantastic sensitive ride and a brilliant jumper, she was also incredibly fast, but so safe. Sadly lost her when she was 24, but a marvellous valiant lady. Your filly is very nice Rollin. |

I have seen some great x's with arabs in the past
but just feel it should come from the stallion rather
than to out x a pure mare.
I am not a lover of coloured horses but i have to say
i have seen a few x Arabs that have been very nice.
Ultimately as long as you are looking to improve that
must be a good thing |

Callisto that is nice to hear. Both CB's and Shagya's jump and have great stamina. One CB mare was 9th in the UK cup at 80km endurance.
Do you remember the name of your mare's dam? If so I can look her up in the stud book. |

| Rollin, sadly I didn't have her pedigree so I don't know her dam's name, she'd been used for sport horse breeding before I bought her, but at some stage before that she had been very well schooled. I wasn' t really too worried about her breeding when I bought her, I was just looking for a nice riding horse for my husband, we had no idea of her abilities ( don't think the seller did either). She could trot at 16-18 km an hour for miles and she easily beat a 4 year old tb bred for the track in a gallop on the beach when she was about 14, so I can easily believe that they make excellent performance horses in a number of spheres, and crossed with an Arab would make a superb endurance horse. |

What about Arab x Appaloosa? Puts a bit more substance on the Arab and very popular for endurance
