Crossbreeds

The FHS also has a side registration for the Arabo-Friesian, which from it's name is an arab/friesian.

but i was reading up on it with my neighbor, who was looking for good studs to potentially breed her paint mare, BonBon Delite, to. We then got to looking at other Friesian crosses

Andies can be crossed with quarter horses to get aztecas. Andies can also be crossed with arabians to get hispano-arabs.

I would really love to see Kisber Felvers, specifically as a Thoroughbred x Trakehner cross. They were introduced on Ludus Equinus way back when and I fell in love with the breed.

EDIT: But I know I'd likely be a minority breeder, so I understand if this is a later addition or doesn't get added.

Thoroughbred x any Warmblood type would be a "pure" horse of that Warmblood type in real life. Warmblood "breeds" are typically made up of Thoroughbred blood mixed with other breeds (always makes me laugh when WB people say they wouldn't be caught dead riding a TB... ha!).

Ohh Kisber Felvers look lovely and would give the Trakes a crossbreed slot. Definitely support those. I feel the less popular breeds would benefit more from being able to crossbreed.

Dude I'd so be on the Azteca train tbh

Regarding POA ponies - according to the official registry, horses are only eligible for registration if they have at least one POA parent (with the other being an accepted crossbreed). If EV crossbreeds are only those where one pure EV horse crossed with another pure EV horse is capable of producing the crossbreed, then POA do not qualify. They could still have potential as a pure breed on EV if we got crossbreeding, as it wouldn't be a traditional pure breed, but rather one that allowed out-crossing, so I've added it to a different section.

I've moved Pintabians to the same category for the same reason.

Stonewall Sport Horses have been rejected entirely as they don't appear to be a real breed.

American Aztecas (sub-type of the Azteca) have been added. Aztecas (i.e. the original Mexican variety) include Criollo blood, and we don't have that breed on here. I can't figure out if they accept Andalusian x Quarter Horses as Aztecas, as the breed registry is in Spanish, so I'm still looking into this.

The other breeds mentioned I'm still researching, so will update with them later.

info on aztecas
more info

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ idk from what I'm gathering, QHxAndy are very much accepted as the breed.

That is true for the American Azteca breed. That is a sub-type of the Azteca breed. They are very similar, but not the same. For example, the American Azteca registry accepts Paint lineage, while the original/Mexican one does not. I'm still trying to establish exactly what the breed similarities and differences are, so I can determine whether the name "Azteca" or "American Azteca" is appropriate.

Honestly unless there's a distinctive difference between American azteca and regular azteca, I'm happy to just use the name "azteca" for both types of crossbreed (if we ever add criollo it would just produce the same).

I don't really want to end up with half a dozen breeds whose only distinction is American vs non.

I strongly support Kisber Felvers- I already breed TBs, and I'm really considering starting Trakes, so this breed would be great for me personally.

edit: *whispers* if the original Aztecas can be made with Criollos, then that adds incentive to add Criollos, a new breed I would strongly support

I'm not going to add a breed solely so that I can add its crossbreed :P

I know, but maybe far into the future? If we can ever sustain more non-crossbred breeds?

I vote for the stick horse! I have many fond memories of the hours I spent in the "saddle"! ; ) :D

I wanted a mini crossbreed, so... What about Miniature Gypsy Horses? (Miniature Horse x Gypsy Vanner)
