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

windwalker · 01-03-2008, 04:34 PM

Hi,my name's Murphie and i'm new here.This is my first post.
I have a beautiful dapple grey pure-bred 15.3hh eleven year old Arabian mare whom i'm planning on breeding this April.
As far as my knowledge goes,i'm pretty sure she has very good conformation point's,with good,sloping shoulder's,nice hard hoove's,a beautifully arched neck and great hindquarter's.
She's very,very sweet and "in your pocket" and VERY flashy-with a beautiful,slow,rocking canter that she loves to show off.
She's never been shown,but she has been trained to jump,and has very nice form over jumps.
She's a brilliant endurance prospect.
I'm looking for a stallion somewhere in british columbia.
Do you guy's have any comment's or opion's about what type of breed i should breed her to??
I would like to cross-breed her to produce a foal with a bit more size and substance,and to add a bit more sensibility and level head-ness.
I'm not into breeding her with a Quarter horse stallion,or TB,or standard bred (no offense to any of you QH,TB,or STB lover's out there.I love those horses,but i wouldn't breed my mare to any of them).
I'm very interested in getting a foal out of my mare who would be a good endurance and event prospect.
Any idea's?????

Are you limited to BC? Are you only wanting to do live cover?
I adore this horse.

But he is in Texas, I believe.
It would be best if you could post pics of your mare, so people could choose stallions that compliment her. She sounds lovely. And 15.3 is good-sized for an Arabian.

Hi,
Yeah,unfortunately i'm pretty much limited to b.c.
I'm working on figuring out how to post pic's of her,so hopefully i'll be able to post some confo pic's of her's soon!
I am pretty much sold on live cover,AI just seem's so.....Unnatural,but that's just my opinion.

Thanks alot!!

Peron's Brilliance is nice! I'd also recommend a Trakehner or another arabian for your mare since you are looking to breed for endurance or eventing those are the two breeds that would stand out the most in my mind since you aren't into TB's (which in my opinion may be the best choice)

Hey,
these are some stallion's i'm considering breeding my mare to.

There's Habib Shael,a exotic 15.3hh akhal-teke stud colt
.

There's Space Odyssey,a beautiful 16.2hh american pinto saddlebred stallion.

There's Pacific,A black,15.3hh Trakhener Stallion.

And there's Krisholm's Laredo,a 15.3hh canadian pinto stallion.

Anyone have any thought's on these horses? Do you think any of them would make a good cross with my arab mare??

I love Space Odyessys foals!!!

Id put him on the top of your list!!

He is a very nice stud IMO

Caterina · 01-03-2008, 06:18 PM

I would be interested to see some more pics of the akhal-teke stud colt .

ETA: I went to his site

he is pretty.

Hard to tell much without seeing a pic (preferably a couple different pics) of your mare.

As far as endurance I would consider breeding to another purebred arabian. One who has been proven in endurance.
