I've gone through the No Nukes side where I've found breeding from a lot of thoroughbred, morgan, barb, arabian, trotter, hackney, saddlebred, tennessee walker, and angloarabian thoroughbred (whatever that is) horses. I figured I'd keep this separate so April could read that,too.
Exploring the Abercrombie, Most Happy Fella, Laag, and Tyler B lines, I found that most all stb's tie back to one another (I read this, but never looked for myself). Volomite, Messenger, and Abercrombie were those that I kept seeing the most on every side. From this is more hackney, morgan, trotter, arabian, morab?, thoroughbred, barb, etc.
This is Laag which is how Spyder's mom came about with the gray color. Reading into this more, melanoma is a terrifying thing which is big on this side, AHH! :(

FYI - AngloArabians are Thoroughbred/Arabian crosses that can have between 25% and 75% of both breeds. As opposed to Half-Arabians, which must have one purebred parent to be registered as such (even if the resulting foal is more than 50% Arabian). National Show Horses are the same thing as Anglos except with Saddlebreds instead of Thoroughbreds! :)
ReplyDeleteAWESOME! Thanks for teaching me a lot of new things with all of this unfamiliar-ness I have! haha
DeleteAnglo Arab is a TB/Arab mix. Standardbreds in general are mostly a cross of Morgans and Thoroughbreds.
ReplyDeleteI read up a bit about their background, and it blows my mind! I had fun clicking around a few of the lines and seeing what I could come up with. He's got a nice mix... I just wish the TB was a little more prominent in the canter! LOL!
