It’s the labradoodle of the horse world. I’m a little horrified at all the Friesian x Appys being marketed as “warmbloods”[/QUOTE]
I like a quote from another thread in another site regarding people down-talking mixing different pure breeds, (though I understand the distain for those ‘backyard breeders’ who throw together horses with terrible conformation because they can only to result in something very sad and terribly built and most likely end in the slaughter pipeline) and so I will repost.
"Nothing’s ruined, these crosses are enriched by the heritage of their parents.
It’s not like crossing them eliminates either breed.
These horses are gorgeous and elegant and tend to be intelligent and even-tempered.
Every breed of horse has pretty much been created by starting out with two different breeds with desirable characteristics and crossing them. It’s a time-honored tradition for creating new and thriving and improved breeds.
Whining about it won’t change that."
