Re: [RC] [Guest] Arab/Appy crosses - Karen SullivanDeb Ambrose mkkgs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx My Arab/Appy Lippy comes from TnB Spots in Oxford, Ohio. His breeder, Terry Kaufman, has his full sister, 3/4 Arab (alas no spots yet), who is 4, I think, and several younger 1/2 Arabs with color. Her site is on the Appaloosa Web Ring. Deb Ambrose Aberdeen, NC I have always liked appys and have had two great Arab/appy crosses; always sort of looking for a tall cross, however what a vet told me has made me possibly reconsider. I sold an exceptional Arab appy to a friend, becase the mare was just too small for me. I never have yet found another horse of any breed that was as smooth and surefooted as that mare. Anyway, she developed a tumor over her eye, that had to be removed as it would have put pressure on the eye ball. The biopsy showed it was cancerous (my friend had it removed and treated and it never reoccured). Anyway, the vet';s comment to me was that he had seen a lot of skin tumors and cancers on appys...and would probably not buy one for that reason. I am wondering if anyone else has had problems with this....
