Welcome
to Cross W Sport Horses
Dedicated to breeding quality Friesian Arabian crosses
and Arabian Sport Horses
Cross W Sport Horses' primary focus and experience lies
in the "endurance type" horse. We have nearly 20 years experience
in the sport and decided to use our background to develop a strategic "sport
horse" breeding program crossing some of our Arabian mares to a
Friesian stallion. Our horses are selectively bred for balance, presence,
good bone, straight legs, trainability, extension of trot and conformation
able to withstand the demands of top level endurance competition.
We have found that due to the conformational demands of the sport, Friesian Arabian crosses should also excel in the disciplines of dressage and other sport horse areas of competition. All of our horses are raised in a pasture and herd environment where they develop the strong straight legs that are inherent of their genes and reinforced by their room to roam.
Our ranch was developed through much research and mentoring in order to be able to produce a horse for the performance sports with an emphasis on endurance riding.
Our horses are bred to
be able to be consistent top contenders that are structurally built
to last for long term soundness. After studying the excellent conformation
typical of the Friesian breed along with their ideal temperament and
trainability we discovered the emergence of the "sport-type" Friesian
horse. We have found this to be an ideal cross with the Arabian horse
for a solid performance horse prospect.
Due to family circumstances and schedule we are taking a break from our breeding program and we have chosen to sell our final foal crop from 2005. This will enable more time to develop a few of our older crosses and promote this crossbreed. It will also enable more time to concentrate on FEI level endurance racing and dressage shows.
Happy Trails!
