Forrest
(aka Arby Forrest)
Arab/Gypsy cob cross
Here's something a
little different. Forrest is a yearling colt out of our bay Arab
mare, Etti, and our Gypsy Cob stallion,
Luka (son of The Lion King).
Forrest is a beautiful tri-color with a lot more feather than you would expect
to see in a cross. Crossing Arabs & Thoroughbreds with the Shire Horse has
been a common practice for decades in order to produce athletic & sturdy
sporthorses with the stamina to endure 3-day-eventing, jumping, and other highly
strenuous disciplines. Forrest's breeding duplicates this, but in
the smaller, more colorful package we expect from the cob. However,
Forrest is not a small colt. His dam is 14.2, and his sire stands 15.1.
We expect Forrest to mature at a size between these two. He has a sweet,
easy-going disposition like that of his parents, and will be easy to break &
train. He is still sporting some of his winter coat in these photos.
