RE: [RC] [RC] Breeding Hybrids (was: Spanish Mustangs) - heidiI must agree with Kat on this. Everyone here thinks that breeding pure Arabs for the halter shows is really wonderful, Maryanne, please read my response to Kat. Being a "pure" Arab or a "pure" anything else does not mean that the horse is not a hybrid. In fact, the hybridization process has also been used to make the "extreme" horses of the show ring--with a lot of "throw-away" horses in the process, in the attempt to get that "one in a thousand look"--and then people wonder why these horses don't breed true to type! By the same token, when you DO get horses bred like that that actually have the ability to work, they are the exception rather than the rule, and when you breed them, THEY don't breed "true to type" either, because they are not bred to breed and are likewise hybrids.
