My trainer's horse was half Egyptian Arabian, and the other half was thoroughbred/Hanoverian. She was pretty high strung, but an extremely talented dressage horse. While this isn't an actual "breed" per say, I thought this was an interesting cross. My trainer lovingly called her a mutt.

I might be a little bit biased, but I like QHxTB. My filly is this, and I think she's awesome. Pics, just because:

Aw, she's adorable! Looks a lot like the racing TB filly my old BM bred.

I love anything mixed with a Quarter Horse

 

[SnowCowgirl]

I'm a huge fan of Arab/QH and Percheron/QH

But I've known two Canadian/TB's who were INCREDIBLE. I'd love to have one someday.

I had a pretty awesome cross for 8 years, he was an Arabian x Andalusian, Reg derivative Arabian gelding..

Really? What a strange thing to say.

When I was little, I had a shetland pony/QH cross. I have no idea which was the dam and which was the sire, but one either had a stepladder, or one was standing waaaayyy downhill, lol! :lol:.
She was about 13 hands tall. I really enjoyed riding her.

A few years ago we tried to sell our QH mare. A trainer put 30 days on her, then took her to the sale barn, but we did a no-sale. When she came back, she was pregnant by his stud appaloosa. The result was a BEAUTIFUL filly who unfortunately colicked and died. She was such a smart, gorgeous little girl. :-(

I think, just by the incredible numbers of QHs in the US, a few crosses are likely to turn out ok. However, to say that a QH x anything works out well, is pretty ridiculous. I've seen a ton which were conformation wrecks, unfortunately.

I actually find saddlebreds cross quite nicely with a wide variety of other breeds and I'm not really of fan of the breed itself!

My BO has an adorable georgian grande (friesian x saddlebred) and a lady I used to ride with has a saddlebred/warmblood cross that is very nice. I've seen other very nice crosses online as well.

Of course, I will always love an Appaloosa/Thoroughbred cross

I have seen some beautiful Perch Arab crosses, color wise there was a picture going around for a while of a Haffy Appy cross, in fact some digging found the pic on an old thread here

A 'Happy' Now there is a breed that should be :lol: but has to reproduce that color every time.

Wow, I LOVE that look!

You know, I have a BLM Mustang that is built very similar. I always sort of tease that he is my shrunken down Belgian. Because he's drafty and chestnut but only 14.3 hands. I never even considered he could be part Haflinger. Hmm. I wonder if there are any Haflinger genetics in the BLM horses?

Anyway, I LOVE anything that looks like a small draft horse. I think draft crosses are awesome (and I've never even owned one, unless the Mustang counts). :lol:

You know, I wouldn't call my young gelding the best cross I've ever heard of, as a matter of fact, I personally would not cross a non-gaited to a gaited. But I think he really out-did his parents. Sire is a QH, dam is a Missouri Fox Trotter. I think he turned out prettier than both of them! Here he is as a 2 yr old.

 

[trailhorserider]

And his sire (chestnut QH) and dam (gray MFT):

 

[KatieAndZanzibar]

My baby is a Quarter Horse - Tennessee Walker (Quarter Walker!) and has the best gait and temperament of any of the horses I've met before. And he also looks great, if I do say so myself. :wink:

And also very sassy. :lol:

 

[WSArabians]

Definitely not unusual, but by far the best cross, I think, is the Morab (Arabian x Morgan).

 

[jody111]

Irish sport horse (Irish draft X TB) like my kazzie

 

[Little Jane]

Irish Drafts and Morabs are both gorgeous :thumbsup:

 

[eventing13]

Mustang x Paint (Super pretty, and fast!)
Warmblood x Thoroughbred x Irish Sport Horse (AMAZING eventers.)
Clydesdale x Thoroughbred (I've seen a couple amazing jumpers.)
NSH x Arabian (Doesn't look arab ish at all!)


(ps, anyone know how to change signatures?)

 

[TheLastUnicorn]

My favorite is the Georgian Grande using Saddlebred x Clydesdale or Saddlebred x Shire... And I've seen many lovely Saddlebred x WB.

This is our ASB X Clyde colt, 9 months old... A bit bigger than I was hoping for, but everything else about him is pretty much right on the mark so far!

He's got some serious horsepower
