Intro<\/h3>\n

The Araboulonnais is a relatively new French breed recently developed by crossing Arabians<\/a> to the large, robust Boulonnais<\/a>.
\n<\/p>\n

Origins<\/h3>\n

The origin of the Araboulonnais began late in the 20th century. It was thought that the beauty and pep of the Arabian<\/a> would blend wonderfully with the gentleness and soundness of the large Boulonnais<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The resulting cross was an animal that was more refined than the Boulonnais<\/a> but much larger and heavier than the Arabian<\/a>. They were created for riding or trekking and prove to be energetic, athletic mounts with a tendency to be resistant to disease.<\/p>\n
