Friesian cross registries

There are various American crossbreeding registries such as the Friesian Blood Horse Registry (FBHR), the Friesian Sport Horse Registry (FSHR), the Moriesian Horse Registry (MHR), the International Warlander Society & Registry (IWSR), the Arabo-Friesian Sport Horse Association North America (AFSHANA), the Friewalker Registry (FWR), the International Friesian Cross Association (IFCA), and whatever will be thought of next. Click on the acronyms for the respective websites. The American registry American Friesian Association (AFA) (est. 2004) is an American registry that went its own way.

General Registry Comment

Of course there will be pretty specimen no matter what registry but ask for the papers and they will most likely originally be KFPS / FHANA horses. Some unapproved stallions might make for a nice combination with a certain mare but the offspring will not have the valuable, fully recognized papers and a random good combination does not qualify a stallion for breeding. Or perhaps you have seen a random nice crossbred at best but has there ever been one that was a Friesian.

Years ago, there was great debate and argument over registering the Mohan white tigers as Bengal/Indian which they were just a different color. The decision was to stud book them two ways, Bengal and white bengal. Then the argument what of the carriers, the normal colored Bengal with the junk white gene. Then the explosive news that because of Tony and the Sioux Falls line there was now Siberian as well as Bengal. In 1984 at the World Tiger Symposium I argued for a performance registry similar to other registries in the equine world but it was "out argued". In hind sight, I was thankful that it was because eventually there were enough numbnuts breeding them they would have had to have a Garbage registry to cover all the physical flaws that ignorance and "I'm special too" produced.
You can breed your registered/papered Siberian tiger to anything you want, you just can't register the offspring as a Siberian. And that paper is important to a "pure registry". In a color or performance registry it isn't paramount. There are pure Egyptian Arabians, there are Polish Arabians, Russian Arabians, Spanish Arabians, Domestic Arabians, etc. Siglavi, Kuhalian, Davenport, Crabbet, etc. etc. Arabians crossed on Saddlebreds produce a National Show Horse. Arabian crossed on Dutch Harness Horses produce a Renai Horse. Crossed on Thoroughbreds an Anglo-Arab. etc.(Just hanging some Arabian paper). Imagine trying to get most individuals involved with a performance line of white tigers to follow rules and regulations, let alone a standard.
