Yes! there are hackney horses.... driving
horses, the group I'm working with are all 16-17hh, sabino, bay or liver
chestnut. Very smart, quick on their feet, relatively easy going...
still the high knee action and gait (like the ponies) They are actually a
fairly rare breed in the US, interesting to find a "cross breed".
I would *think* they'd add height, a little
bone, knee action, a little color, and maybe a little gait.... of
course you'll lose some of the pretty delicate face!
Does anyone have experience with Arabian/Hackney crosses? I thought
Hackneys were small, but this mare is BIG, much bigger than her dam. What does
the hackney add to the mix?
