Half Forest Horse any value?

[Arabela]

Is there any use for Half Forest Horse ie breed the two together make anything or breed back to full forest?
Arabian x Andalusian x Forest = Friesian or in my case a half forest.
Worth keeping or make room for friesian attemp again?

[Nate]

The forest horse COULD be used that way. Whether or not you should depends on your breeding goals and its suitability for Friesian vs. your other Forest's suitability

[Arabela]

Just to clarify half forest horses are a dead end breed then?

[Nate]

No. A half forest can be used in place of a full Forest in any cross that calls for Forests. The only question is whether or not your particular forest is suited to making new breeds.

Thanks Nate i'll have to experiement with her

[Nate]

Indeed! In fact, I have a whole program based around using very specific half-breed crosses to make mixed breed crosses to finally create new breeds. It's taking awhile, but the variation and sporting ability that's possible is too tantalizing to pass up.
