I am wanting to eventually breed my AQHA mare again, but I am looking for a more interesting horse then getting another quarter horse or paint (even though Rem is my darling)
Maybe a Cross with a saddlebred? Akhal Teke?
Show me your crosses, or favorite/dream quarter horse crosses.
:)

I'm all about a pure QH but my mare is an QH/TB appendix and she's awesome..
She is reining and running bloodlines...I do think that I would probably own another QH TB appendix..even though I am all about a QH.. So this is my Nikki..

Above is Guinness-my QH/TWH cross (a PMU rescue) who is wonderful, despite my initial hesitation in buying a walker cross......:wink:

Below are both my guys-Frankie is a CLyde/QH/TB cross. Also, lovely.




I love QH's, and did also love my registered ones. I just don;t need a "pure" one for my purposes, and totally love my crosses!

This is Sophie. She's a grade QH cross. I actually have not dealt with her much. I know that as long as she has a butt in front of her face she's fine to ride. But that is more of a training issue. Since she's my Aunt's horse and I helped her buy her (but at my place and my aunt has literally been out twice this month) I call them all my horses. Sophie was found on a highway as a two year old wrapped in barbed wire. So she's also a survivor.

This is a Quarab owned by a friend of mine. He's 26 this year. He was 22 in this picture. He definitely got the best of both breeds: He has a thick, stocky body with a dainty little head and carries himself like an Arabian. If you let him, he'll go from a standstill to top speed, but he has the endurance to stay at top speed for quite a while.


My mare is QH/Paint. Not exactly exciting. Most people assume she's a QH until I say she's APHA. She has a decent sized spot on her right side by her elbow and another small spot on her neck, so I assume she got Frame from her dam. Also, her eye looks really wonky in this picture because I used Picnik's red eye feature as her eye was just a white spot from my flash and looked really odd. But her eyes are not half blue. They are brown.

Thats my oldest Daugther Corine she is 7 Cavalier is 7 as well

Ouch thats hard to watch. Cute girl and horse but she is sooo in his mouth. She kicked him go and then yanked back stop. Poor horse must have been confused. Then when she turned him to the right, she had his left rein so tight he could barely go right. yikes.

I'm not saying anything about her riding, but i felt that one.

I guess I'm in the minority. I don't believe in breeding crosses, especially when there are so many cross-bred horses out there needing homes. I guess if you plan on keeping the foal it would be okay.

I show and breed Labrador Retrievers and am totally against breeding cross-breeds when there are so many mixes in shelters and rescues needing homes. Since there are so many Lab mixes out there my girls must be special, beyond having a uterus, in order to be bred.

I'm not judging the OP, but just stating my reluctance.

You have to say it's a kid though. That's why i put kids on my pony who can handle it and doesn't care. He was used for handicapped kids to ride so thats a plus lol.

Say what you want about crosses & breeding them, but I sure am glad someone bred this one :lol: Not to mention she does more than the average registered horse...but annnnyway!

This is my Standardbred/Quarter Horse mare. Everyone thinks she is a Morgan though!
This is the best conformation picture I can find of her right now, please excuse how overweight she was. She didn't respond too well to flax seed, she blew up like a balloon LOL so she was taken off and is now at a good weight.






She is an awesome horse and I swear she could do ANYthing. I mainly do gaming (barrel racing, etc) with her but I am playing around with pleasure and we'll be making our debut next week! :shock: Western/english pleasure, eq and trail is what we'll be doing. I am going to do obstacle challenges and hunter paces, as well as train her to drive - she already ground drives. Dressage is in her far future also. Who knows what else, she's capable of anything!

Don't mind me, she must be a good horse if she can run a decent pattern with me getting in her way LOL




(she's a jumper at heart)








Okay okay, I'm done!

This is Kaydee...She is Morgan QH cross. We do everything (english hunter, jumper, eventing, western games, trailr ides, etc.). She is built like a QH and has the super calm dispostion of one, but also got a bit of the Morgan pig headedness lol.
