I ring stewarded a local show today... and was approached by a gal who has a smallish WB who wants to cross with some sport ponies. I think that as American's we have a different view of cross breds, because as long as my mare meets certain criteria she can be accepted into the Sport Pony mare book and her babies would be 'cross breds' but would be registerable as long as they pass inspection. Is that cross breeding? Or is it bettering the breed because I have a 'nice' mare? I'm not saying I'll breed her because of the health risks to her, especially with her history of laminitis, this is just theoretical at this point! Steph -- "Brutality begins where skill ends."
