What breed should i breed my arab mare to...

If you live close to where Pacific is you should really go and take a look at him, I've seen him in the flesh and those pictures don't do him justice, he's GORGEOUS, he moves incredible and he is very very good natured!
I bred my mare to him last year, she's having his foal this year.

If you're looking for an endurance/event prospect, I would NOT breed her to the Andy. Just not my cup of tea at all, and it seems like that stud in particular throws heavier babies than you would want, particularly for endurance. Without seeing your mare it's hard to say, but honestly I'd be looking into an Arab sporthorse stud rather than crossing. One of the members on her has a gorgeous SH stud, HG Esquire, but I'm not sure where she and the horse are located.

There isn't much demand for an Arab X Andalusion.
There is more of a market for Arab X Saddlebred, Arab X Warmblood

You're going to have a hard time finding a pure canadian stallion being that most are a cross of some sorts. TB crosses mostly.

If you are truly interested in a strong performing endurance prospect I think you should consider an Arab stallion.

Crossing to a heavier breed: shire, friesian even an andalusian or lusitano will not produce a really good endurance prospect.

Now if you are looking more for a dressage/sport horse type foal then any of those would be great options.

Nothing really beats a purebred Arabian in endurance (in general)...just something to keep in mind.
