Do you think the folks who are breeding crosses are actually wanting to make a Friesian into a breed that already exists? For example, standard poodles, and portugeuse water dogs are very smart and great family dogs and hypoallergenic...they don't need to be breeding labradoodles.

Looks like Alice is still having a great time with her horses. The one stallion, Teade, has an amazing mane. Interesting to see it braided when he's dressed up. Lots of eye candy on that site.<BR/>I was a little surprised that the popular cross in Europe is with an Arabian. Seems usually it is with TB blood.

My preference? I'm a fan of the quarter horse and the thoroughbred, or a cross between the two. However, I am a fan of Arabian and the Lipizzan just because of their beauty and difference. <BR/><BR/>More recently, the name Gypsy Vanner has floated where my ears could pick up on it.
