Hann x Welsh anyone seen one?

[Santi]

My Welsh D mare is now with a friend and has had a (stunning and very tall!) foal by Alvescot Paper Moon but we were thinking of a Hannoverian next time - anyone got/seen this cross?
I was wondering if it would be too chunky? The mare isn't that big looking and she's 14.1.

Lee Pearson's horse Blue Circle Boy is a Hanoverian x Welsh D, although he well outgrew his expected height (he's around 17.1hh).

If she's had a foal already then a small Hanoverian would be OK - would go for under 16hh though, probably max 15.3hh as she is quite light, and look for a lighter type.

This chap might be suitable

Horse in my avatar was an accidental cross between a Welsh D colt and smallish hanovarian mare X. About 15.2, typical welsh to look but a bit more leggy and with lots of big movement....oh and the temperament was pure Welsh.

I bought him as a three year old and had 24 wonderful years with him...just a once in a lifetime horse.

Welsh x

Thanks for the photos! i'll pass that on. Got to get on with it a bit to get her in foal again this year!

I've got one

Mummy was a Welsh D, daddy was a Hann

He is a GIT though and always has been - typical Welsh temperament but definitely not short on character and definitely one of a kind!

I have a welsh cross hanoverian. He is a lovely horse with great temperament. A good solid horse who kept his grace. He can be a lazy boy or on his toes. But always looks after me. Even when doing his trick of levade out on a big ride! Which can be a pain when you want a nice plod but he has other ideas. He can be nappy but never too strong. He is brave at most times but when he makes his mind up that something isnt for him, you have no hope of getting him past spmething unless you get off and show him how first. He has a fear of white things, which says to me there may be a eyesight sensitivity that possibly has come through the breeding.
In the winter he looks like a yeti and has a good thick coat, summer he has a fine copper coloured coat with a sprinkle of sugared roan. He has a good wide head and beautiful ears. His mane and tail are fine unlike my welshies big rough manes. He has a small nose and mouth and he carries his head beautifully. His tail is up like an arab. He has great feet never been shod or had a sorry day. So he has the width and flatness of a hano, but the strength and solidness of a cob. Really comfy ride he has a short but wide and strong back. All in all it was a good breed mix.
