The myth that
surrounds the Morab most often is
their status as a breed. A lot of
people misunderstand and consider a
Morab a part-bred while others have
termed them half-breeds. Nothing
could be farther from the truth.
Morabs (the get of an Arabian/Morgan
breeding) are not half-Morgans or
half-Arabian horses. They are
Morabs, a breed. The fact that
Morabs have the proven ability to
transmit their distinguishing
characteristics with a high degree
of certainty to their progeny puts
this misnomer to rest. Only
foundation stock or first generation
Morabs possess both Morab
registration and 1/2 Arab or 1/2
Morgan registries. Thus making them
a triple registered animal.
Succeeding generations are then bred
Morab to Morab to ensure the growth
of the breed. |
