Re: [RC] Arab/warmblood crosses - Arabs4sprt

   Thank you all very much, I've gotten lots of replies both on and off the 
list and there were none that were negative about Arab/warmblood crosses.  I 
haven't been paying much attention to the endurance/competitive trail market 
for my fillies, now I know that I've been missing a very enthusiastic group of 
people who might love them Especially since their moms are 100% CMK (via 
Shalimar Arabians and Alice Payne's Asil Arabians), and daddy is an Oldenburg 
with 
lots of TB and Arab from French Anglo-Arab breeding.  Previously I had been 
marketing them solely to dressage and hunter/jumper people, and not having much 
luck because they aren't huge (15 hands as 2 year olds in a market where if it 
isn't 16.3 it's not big enough).
   What I've found is pretty much what everyone else has been mentioning, 
quiet easy-going temperments, combined with great movement, and Arab feet and 
endurance.  Oh and curiosity about all kinds of things.  They can't help 
themselves, anything new in the turnout and they have to go and investigate it. 

Don't know whether they get that from their moms or their dad.  I have to make 
a 
videotape for a lady tomorrow who wants to see one of them jump, I've never so 
much as trotted them over ground poles, so I got a bunch of 2" PVC pipe and 
put it out in my turnout yesterday.  A few hours later they not only had taught 
themselves how to step over the poles, they were carrying them around the 
turnout in their mouths playing with them!  Silly girls.
