Cross Breeding

How they cross breed horses? Could the people cross breeding can cross breed horses from different countries?

What if you wanted the strentch of one horse breed and the speed of another? Im not exactly sure I understand your question fully, can you repharse it?

Sorry for the ambiguity of my question. I myself have been confused reading it again.

I think you got my idea. Can people who are experts on crossbreeding make a new breed using 2 different horses from different countries? I hope that clarifies my question. For example, a small horse from Asia will cross breed with a big horse in Europe, can they make a new from those 2 horses?

I have a similar question. I'm glad I saw a thread about it here. Is it okay to do cross breeding? I mean between two horses of varying breeds, can they be allowed to mate and breed?

You can't just cross two breeds and say 'look! I created a new breed! Give me kudos!'
The breed needs to be developed over time and be consistently true to type. It has happened in the past with nearly all of the modern breeds we see today.

There are some 'breeds' that are crosses deliberately produced from other breeds. For example an Irish sport horse may have two parents that are irish sport horses, or its parents may be an irish draft and a thoroughbred.

Breeding is like just experimenting on a project. You are not sure, what will happen. It is not assured that you will come up with the characteristic of your dream horse. The best advice I could give you is to follow the ways of professionals who has bred them before.

Actually I would say that the best advice is to let the experts to the experimenting and not end up with unwanted cross bred horses that then have to be found homes. There are enough horses in the world already.

There's not that much experimental cross breeding done these days in any case. It used to be done more in the past when the demands on horses changed rapidly. For example in the industrial revolution bigger horses were needed to transport supplies, so the biggest horses were crossed with whatever else was around.

Oh, I see. Now, I knew better. I thought its the same way with dogs, you know they do cross breeds and it's just cool. But in horses, it's not that easy. That spelled a difference. Thanks!
