Mustang Thoroughbred cross?
I have a Mustang mare and I have been trying to convince my dad to let me breed her. She has really good conformation and is really pretty. I want the foal to be taller than her. Shes about 13.2hh-14hh; we haven’t exactly measured her. Do you think if I bred her to a TB, would the foal have good conformation? I want something over 15 hands that has hunter potential. What other breed would work?
I don’t think you have any chance of getting a 15+ hand horse from a 13.2 hand pony. The mare is the parent who determines the size of the foal – the fetus can only get as big as the uterus can hold. If you breed your pony to a 16.2 – 17 hand stud, I think you would be lucky to get a foal that would reach 14.2 or 14.3.
If you want a nice hunter pony, thoroughbred would probably be the way to go. Breeding is all guesswork, but with this cross you’d hopefully get a nice pony with good scope and big movements. Unfortunately, it’s also possible that you’d get the worst of both worlds and a very wierd looking horse. If you want a horse for a specific purpose, or a specific size, consider purchasing a yearling or two year old. You still get to raise a baby and train on your own (you shouldn’t ride until they hit 4 years old) but you know exactly what you’re getting into. And, it’s cheaper than breeding!
