Cross breeding Friesians sounds like a great idea and one time I saw a FriesianXThoroughbred in a Horse Trader one time. 4laugh

I dont think they should cross breed the Friesian. It's already a perfect breed (I'm going to have TONS of typos, its late ahaha) Why TRY to perfect it when you cant? The Morgan crossing was alright, but something like a Paint horse would be to far. I'm not saying Paints are bad horses, but Paints and Friesians wouldnt mix.
Over all I think the idea of cross breeding Friesians, is mad. I would never do it.
(hah not to many typos after all!)

L Y Z Z A C I O U S` DB I think that the big problem with the friesian registry being so strict these days is that there IS a huge percentage of defects occurring as a result of inbreeding. A member on another website that I belong to owns a family business that is centered around friesians, and though she is an advocate against your average joe cross breeding their average friesian, she supports breeders who have experience breeding friesians to make GOOD, quality crosses. I'm personally a fan of georgian grandes (saddlebredxfriesian), and I've also seen some nice arabxfriesians. You have a really good point, corss breeding with such a horse as a Friesian so be done but someone who will know the outcome, not just lwets cross x with a Friesian and hope for the best, no defects or anything. Alot of crosses are amazing like you said the georgians.

I just barely skimmed through the thread, but my thoughts are: Just like any breed, when cross breeding, breed to another horse of a similar type. Friesians are traditionally carraige horses, they have a strong front end with a high neck, that's where their power is. You could get some pretty scary looking crosses if you bred to something down hill with a low neck attatchment and its motor in the hind end (like a TB or stock horse). There are a few friesians in town that I'm aquainted with. One is a mare approved for breeding and is absolutely stunning. A few of the others (mare, stallion, and their filly) who arent approved (and wont be as far as I know) are not as nice, and I highly doubt that they'd make it through the testing. There are 2 crosses that I know, one crossed with a curly, the other a dutchwarmblood. The curly was a mistake, she looks like a draft cruly cross. The warmblood cross is a decent looking horse, and very comfortable to ride, I think the warmblood parent must have been quite compact with a high neck attatchment, less TB. Here she is, 4 y/o at her first show:

Same with the other ones, is the stallion a ster stallion/studbook stallion. Yes that cross does look nice, very "friesian-y" wink

My neighbor has a Paint/Frisian and it's realllly pretty. D:
She's a white and sorrel overo and got the height and bulk from the Frisian. I think it looks nice. Granted, this mare is a total biiiitch but she's also never been trained, the lady just keeps her as a pet.

The nice friesian mare I guess would be in the studbook. She was imported from Holland, her owner bred her to a stallion from somewhere in the states, and the foal (as a weenling) sold for 20k, so I'm thinking theres some pretty good breeding going on there haha. The other stallion, mare, and filly family there, aren't registered by anything, theyre just horses.

Yes imports are usually really nice.
