There's only sixty-ish Lipp-Arab crosses registered in the US.

I like the Baroque horse mind, and after spending a bunch of hours on 
four different days with the Lusitano stallions of the Cavalia show, 
I'm even more enamored of them.

I was hoping for (and got) bone, intelligence (nothing wrong with 
smarts-squared), substance, a shorter back than my mare, a wider track 
behind, and of course
the hard-wired ability to collect.  And hopefully be real sensible at 
the start of an endurance ride (quit laughing, Sandy!) and get me more 
interested in dressage.

The unexpected part was height.  The stallion is 14.2 and at this rate 
my kid will eclipse that; her butt is almost to my shoulder now (and 
I'm 5'6").  The second startling thing was the degree of proprioception 
she has, truly remarkable for a kid.  She's 5 months now.  If anyone 
gets Arabian Horse World Magazine,she got her own page in the September 
issue's
baby photo section, page 381.

Am also shooting Baroque horses more these days and admire their brio 
while still remaining totally oriented towards their humans.
