First....let me say I appreciate this new forum....I just love to show off our crosses and brag on them.
We have 4 Friesian/Arabian crosses as this time. All are by the Friesian stallion, DAEN. Our first cross convinced us to stop breeding purebred Arabians. We love the look and personality of the crosses and one day would love to convert totally to breeding Friesians. But until then, we will love and enjoy our crosses. Our first crossbred is now 5 years old and is a dream come true. She rides and drives and pretty much tells us what she wants us to do. SHe is so gentle and loving but yet very willing to do anything we ask. She is a regular chow hound.
Last year we had our first homebred crossbred. Rain Daencer is a black bay with an elegant look, tremendous movement and the personality and willingness of the Friesian. She is 14.3 and growing like a weed. BUt yet she is so balanced and correct......need I say more?
This year we had two Friesian/Arabian crosses. One is a black filly and the other is a gray colt. He is tremendous! He is so beautiful, it is hard to believe. Movement to die for and those same elegant looks.
Next year we will have three DAEN babies. Two will be Arabian crosses and the third will be out of our bay tobiano Arabian/Saddlebred mare. That is a baby that my husband biting his nails over. We rescued the mare a year ago and she has been his baby. Currently while she is awaiting her 2000 foal, she is learning to ride and drive.
Thank you for letting me brag...sorry if I have offended anyone.
Toni
