You'd think with as MANY horses out there and us with 25 or so we wouldn't need another horse,LOL.But I've had a thing I wanted to do and SOOO bought a 16.1 hh high headed,royaly bred (Wing Commander x Denmark bred)old Saddlebreed mare.Now talk about BUG EYED.Been wanting to cross one on our Tobiano walking horse stud.Ultra sounding her Monday morning and go from there.Maybe a TALL high headed Tobi RACKER in the future.

Have been debating the breeding thing the last couple of years with my Paint mare and decided to go for it. Sadly, a few breeders looked at me like they didn't really want to soil their stallion with a Paint but I'm seeing more and more color. You should get a gorgeous cross. Good luck.

Our Tobi walking horse stallion tested inconclusive on being a 100% color producer at UC Davis lab.BUT we have 9 Tobis out of solid mares by him.He's never produced a solid out of solid.Need 4 more colored out of solids to be considered homozagous.Besides I've wanted a half and half(thats the term for Walker/Saddlebred cross) for a while.This mares a chestnut with two rear socks.She's 19. Had one 15 years ago and was a smooth stylish racker that was as sure footed as Bighorn sheep.Wifes trailhorse for several years.That and had "bottom"also.Couldn't wear him out.As wife use to say Tough as Old Shoe Leather.We'll see.

Hounddog, I'm always trying to learn more about horses and I'd like to know what "has bottom" means when you use that term?

 

I'm not well versed with walkers or saddlebreds and anything you can share would be appreciated. Happy trails.

Staying power/Endurance.Takes a licking and keeps ticking. Could ride him in mountains,rough country and 10 minute rests he was ready for more. Some of it may be hybred vigor when you outcross.Like out crossing in breds it sometimes improves the animal.Same deal on cattle.Angus bulls on Herefords etc.

Thanks hounddog. We are sort of boxed in on all sides with "walkers" and everyone always has a lot of good things to say about them.  We haven't made the switch to try them yet because they cover so much ground in such a short period of time. We do a lot of wagon trains and the "walkers" start getting a little fussy being held back all day. Happy trails.
