When riding in the Scottish borders, we encountered a lady tending a herd of sheep, riding a very interesting bay horse, who she said was the most enormous help in herding.
It was a very laid back, strong looking tb type, short strong back, scruffy mane, with plenty of bone and tough hard hooves, standing about 16hh. I asked what its breeding was and she told me it was an Exmoor x tb. Must say, I would have loved to ride this mare myself. It had such a look of calm confident intelligence.

We have done it the other way around we used our native stallion (Springhill Bally Sensation) on a tb. She goes out every day without a rug, has a good appetete and good strong feet. She has an even temperament and I can't wait to ride her when she is old enough.

I'm a real fan of cross breeding blood and native, I always think you get the best of both worlds.
When I was a kid, my mum and her breeder/dealer friends were mad keen on putting what they called 'a bit of common' into the equation, as they reckoned it gave a level and trainable temperament with a good outcross of bone and stamina, all required for a good working hoss with longevity of useful life, I cant say they were wrong.
My mega event horse was ID/Shire X TB, not the prettiest, but strong as an ox, powerful and luckily inherited the most jaw-dropping sink a foot in height but pick up like a derby winner gallop, and managed to fire himself over the biggest Grand National fences at Aintree on a jolly day out thanks to a friend who was clerk of the course in those days.
Cant go wrong in my book.

Before the current large scale importation of Continental WBs, the native (as in native ponies, IDs, Clevelands and heavy horses rather than coloureds, which used to be disregarded as gypsy ponies, here's where I duck the missiles) x TB was the basis of all the performance animals, and the late great Sam Barr always liked a bit of ID or pony in his eventers. Shire crosses were always reputed to be great jumpers, although I have no experience of them. I seem to remember a top level eventer that was 1/4 Highland pony too. Lots of good eventers with Welsh D in too, providing size, activity and jump.
The standard mixture going into the breeding of the BRP was varied combinations of native pony, TB and Arab too.

We have three TB broodmares, a QH mare and a warmblood mare.
One of our TB mares foaled last year to an Argentinian Warmblood showjumper. Find him to be a bit on the fine side but as he was bred for eventing am really happy with him. One of the others was in foal to a RID and is a real stunner. Has a good bit more substance about him than the first. Suspect he will either make a showjumper or a dressage horse, but will more than likely specialise. All our TB's are in foal to RID for this year.
Our QH is in foal to a Clydesdale but that was because we wanted to breed a show standard driving horse for our daughter.
Our WB is in foal to an ISH showjumper. He is 50/50 ID/TB.

 We put our TB riding horse mare (16.2, by Keen - a big, old fashioned sort with decent bone) to Connemara stallion Ardbear Spirit and this is what she produced. I'd like her to stay at 15.2 and make a super intermediate worker type, but she is huge (now a yearling) and will probably end up 16hh! She looks like either a riding horse or lw hunter type as she develops I think the TB/native cross is great - all the athleticism and ability of the TB with the more sensible nature and hardiness of the native. That's the theory anyway! This mare is probably going to go to Kilvington Scoundrel this year, as I'm really impressed with the quality of what she bred first time round, but I also have a partbred Connie (by Dark Stranger) which I'm thinking of putting to a TB like Mount Holly |
