The Arab half-breed , also Partbred Arab or Arabian Partbred , is a horse that has at least 25% - the aim is at least 50% - of Arab blood. The other breeds are not mandatory as long as the animals are registered in a stud book of a breeders' association recognized in the country of birth. However, cold blood breeds are excluded . The aim of breeding is a horse that has the typical breed characteristics of the thoroughbred Arabian , but is in a larger framework and is equipped with great hardness and endurance as well as a pleasant temperament. The stud book is kept in Germany by the Association of Breeders and Friends of the Arabian Horse VZAP.
Exterior / interior
The Arabian half-breed is essentially a commercial breed with unspecific initial mating. The breed fixation is left free in the studbook regulations. It is therefore almost impossible to create a uniform template for a breed description.
