Re: Anglos

As noted already, the tradition is to use TB mare with an Arabian 
stallion.  I have a soon-to-be-four yr. old Anglo Arab gelding that I 
hope to start in endurance by next year.  He's taller (15.2+) than his 
Arabian sire, very leggy, very good conformation.  His dam was not 
real tall, but yes, I think the added size comes from using the TB 
mare. My gelding looks and moves more like a TB, at least in my 
opinion, though his head and neck favor the Arab. 

Good luck with your breeding.  I think you will be happy with the 
results.  I certainly am with mine.
