The Anglo-Arabian horse combines the Arabian and Thoroughbred bloodlines. A variety of crosses are allowed within the two breeds, however a true Anglo-Arab has no more than 75% and no less than 25% Arabian blood.
These two bloodlines have rich histories and have been interwoven throughout history, both of them quick and high energy animals.
How It All Started

The official breed began in France in 1836 under the watchful eye of the French National Stud Service. The intention was to create a mix that enhanced the desired elements of each breed, with an emphasis on retaining the refined confirmation of the Arabian.
Widely Loved
The resulting animal possesses the the endurance and confirmation of the Arabian coupled with the speed and size of the Thoroughbred. A larger and high-energy animal who is willing, personable & intelligent.
Today these animals have been well-received in many disciplines, but are particularly favored by English riders who want a higher-energy mount with plenty of spring.
