What is anglo-arab?

The Anglo-Arab is a horse breed that is a cross between an Arabian horse and a Thoroughbred horse. It is known for its elegance, athleticism, and endurance. The breed was developed in the early 20th century in Europe, particularly in France and Poland, where breeders worked to create a horse that combined the speed and stamina of the Thoroughbred with the beauty and refinement of the Arabian.

Anglo-Arabs vary in appearance, but they typically have a refined head, a long, arched neck, and a muscular but elegant body. They stand between 15.2 and 17 hands high and come in a variety of colors, including bay, chestnut, grey, and black.

The Anglo-Arab is a versatile breed that excels in a variety of disciplines, including dressage, show jumping, eventing, and endurance riding. The breed is known for its agility, endurance, and trainability, and is often used for competitive riding at the highest levels.

The breed's popularity is largely confined to Europe, particularly France, Poland, and the United Kingdom, although there are small populations in other parts of the world, including the United States. The Anglo-Arab is a rare breed, with only a few thousand individuals registered each year.
