Agreed. I'm not a fan of doing so though I'm afraid, and it would need to be a carefully chosen, solid B, not a fine one. My first C broodmare was 1/2 good solid old-fashioned B, and I had her daughter by a small D in the stud as a broodmare for years and bred lots of foals of all sizes from her, but just occasionally she would throw one far too light to be a good C or D, I remember a couple who looked more like NFs.

I'm not usually a fan either Sarah, although I have put JoJo who tends to throw good bone on a heavier type buckskin section B, so I might get something useful!

It can be a bit of an unpredictable cross.
You can get something really nice, like a performance type pony.
Or something that doesn't look here nor there if you know what i mean?
I think if you have a b with lots of A blood, it can work as well as an a x c.
The 2nd genoration from the cross may throw up something unexpected to what you had in mind too.

Always useful gurnos but not necessarily typey for a Cob!

no, but I think it could end up typey enough, I think there mare probably has as much bone as half the Cs in the showring and JoJo certainly has ample bone, but if not will certainly have a career as a performance pony

I had a C x B she never really looked right in the C class lacking in bone and movement. But a lovely pony and did ok 15 years ago in the ridden class as she had fabulous manners but would never stand up against todays C's !!
