- Half-Arab/half-Andalusians may be triple registered as half-Arab
- with International Arabian Horse Association, half-Andalusian
- with one of the Andalusian associations (Teresa, which one?), and
- as a Hispano-Arabe with an association formed especially for that cross.
- The Arabian/Andalusian cross is said to be very popular currently in
- Spain.
- My understanding from talking with a friend of mine who owns
- a Lipizzan mare is that two of the major Lipizzan bloodlines decend
- from Andalusian horses, Favory and Maestoso, and one major Lipizzan
- bloodline decends from the Arabian, Siglavy. The name of the Spanish
- Riding School in Vienna was derived to emphasize the high percentage
- of Spanish (Andalusian) blood in their Lipizzan horses. Finally,
- and this is a question, I have read that early in the 1800's all
- mares bred in Hungary were required to be crossed with Oriental (Arabian)
- stallions, there was a major breeding facility breeding Arabian, and
- Lipizzan, horses located at Babolna, Hungary at the time of this decree.
- My question is does anyone have any information about whether this
- breeding rule affected the Lipizzan mares as well as other local mares
- at the time? And were the produce then listed as Lipizzan in the stud
- books? The book that I have read indicates that this indeed took place,
- however it is only one book.
- It WOULD explain why my friend's Lipizzan mare looks
- EXACTLY like my Arabian mare, except for being a little bigger boned
- with a larger warmblood head the two of them could be SISTERS! This mare
- has no Siglavy horses listed in her pedigree, but has a lot of Favory.
- As a result of our horses looking so similar she and I are planning to
- put together a pas de deux. Please keep in mind my mare is a VERY
- typey Arabian with classic sturdy lines and conformation. Also my
- friend is considering breeding her mare to the sire of my mare's filly
- because she is so impressed with my mare and filly and thinks they
- would make a nice cross, and also because the Lipizzan bloodlines
- available locally (i.e. within 500 miles) are too close to her mare's
- bloodlines.
