Before embarking on our crossbreeding endeavor, we visited renowned cross-breeders in Portugal and spoke with GP riders who have trained these horses. They all affirmed that the unique "loyal Iberian mind" that distinguishes Iberian horses from other breeds, is still noticeable in the F1, the first crossbred generation, and even in the F2, the second generation. The offspring often possess the fantastic blend of good ridability, trainability, moving upwardly (Iberian) and forwardly (warmbloods), with a warmblood-like appearance. They tend to have a slightly shorter back, making them easier to collect. There is only a very limited number of crossbreds in Europe, and most are still maturing; we believe they will gain popularity among ambitious amateur riders and those seeking a secure, gorgeous, and comfortable riding experience. We have documented many of our conversations with breeders. They can be listened to on the Horse Heroes podcast on Spotify. (Click image)
