Anglo-Arabs

History	The Anglo-Arab is a more substantial horse than the purebred Arab, the anglo-Arab can result from a first cross between the Arab and Thoroughbred blood. France has been producing Anglo-Arabs for many years in the nineteenth century. The French Anglo-Arab traces back to two eastern stallions. Massoud who was an Arab and Aslam which was said to be Turkish origin. The horses were imported from Syria and cross bred with three imported English Thoroughbred mares. The head of an Anglo-Arab is closer looking to the thoroughbred then the Arab, but many Anglo-Arabs are more Sturdily built then the average looking Thoroughbred.
