Sorry, I'm not impressed. Color me jaded but I cannot help but wonder if the creators of this "breed" just did not have the credentials to make a splash in the existing breeds, so they "created" their own. I see it as more of a way to market their own crossbreds than any honest need for another breed that they are trying to fill. But then, what do I know?

Ah, another breeder with too much time and money on their hands.

Gorgeous horses and interesting crosses, but weren't Andalusians already added to Friesian bloodlines in the 1600s when the Netherlands were part of Spain?

Gene LaCroix of the Arabian horse world comes up with a new Arabian cross every 5-7 years or so when he wants something that trots high: National SHow Horse, Renai Horse, etc...

Ew.

Throw that in with the Georgia Grande and several other Freisian crosses.

michickenwrangler your right about them already having Andalusians
in their bloodline. This link explains the history of them.

Oh don't get me started on the LaCroix saga! I thought it was overwith but noooooooo, he has to start something!

They look like a cross between an Arabian and a Fresian.

How else are you going to get a new breed of anything? C'mon people, it's how all our domestic animals are created.
