This picture was taken of some of the horses in the pasture. Having a large area to roam, run and play in a herd environment, helps in the horse’s development, physically and socially, learning skills that can be used in their training, using the natural horsemanship approach. Also it’s a constant blessing to be able to look out of your house windows and observe them.
Why Welsh Cob X Arabian?
The crossing of native breeds with the Arabian has for centuries proved to be very successful producing exceptional sports horses. In particular the thoroughbred, and from them the warm blood event horses etc. Whereas the Arabian is a perfect athlete in itself, it does have a few characteristics that can be a drawback, such as its length of stride (due to a short back with less vertebrae), height, physical strength and sometimes temperament. The Welsh Cob Section D adds improvement by increasing the stride length, physical strength, and stronger legs, while perfecting temperament. It has been proven through horses like ‘Eclipse’, that the cardiovascular system unique to the Arabians and its athletic ability is passed on to its offspring even in outcrosses with native breeds, thus producing quality sports horses.
