Um…I’ve never heard of a
“Warlander”, but TB/Irish Draught is an Irish Sporthorse.

Warlander i believe is an
Andalusian/Fresian cross.
I would have to say Arabians
are my favorites , tho i love almost all breeds. When i was 4 i inherited a shetland
stallion, boy what a brat !!! when he was in a good mood i could get on him and ride him
without a bridle or saddle, he would go with just my leg signals. But boy if he didnt want
to be ridden he would make sure you knew itl. lol… His favorite thing was to rub someone off
under a tree, the swingset, or clothesline. If that didnt work he would buck or roll on you.
lol… Also a mini Houdini, he could get out of anything except a chain under his chin.We had
a big thing in common we both hated thunderstorms!!! Have so many funny stories about him, i
was sad when we had to sell him.
when i was early teens i was a groom for 7 Arabians. 2
studs , 4 mares, and one colt . One of the studs was very sweet with me but hated others ,
gorgeous deep blood red , with a star and slight coronet markings.
Then a few yrs later i
groomed for standarbred racers on the tracks in Maine.
Whatever you do dont try to ride a
pacer bareback, i got laughing so hard i fell off, it was like trying to ride a duck.!!!
The horse stopped and looked down at me laughing like why did you do that? It was so
comical.
Also love the painted horses, lots of color, and very flashy, hell id take about
any horse.
Have had the opportunity over the yrs to try many dif breeds, they all have
something that you can pick out and praise.

Aha! Irish Sport Horse!
That’s what it is! :lol:
I think they still have to come up
with Paiarb(Paint and Arab)
The Paint is a color breed,
not a “normal” (type of body) breed. So a Paint/Arab would likely be closest to a Quarab,
since most Paints are heavily influenced by QH. But I imagine that you’d just refer to it
as a Paint/Arab (since I don’t think Arabs are allowed to be anything non-solid).
1/2 Arabs are allowed to
have spots (think the national show horse crosses). But I was under the impression Paints
WERE QH’s and typically could be double registered as both? So in that case it’s
definately a Quaab. But Paint people don’t shoot me if I’m wrong .
I dunno if Paints are QHs,
since there’re Dutch Warmbloods who are Paints. But I think the large majority of Paints
are QHs.
Yeah a lot of paints are
QH’s but a QH who is a paint can not show in QH shows. There is a rule where any white past
the knee, hock, on the body, or past cirtain places on the face is not allowed to be shown.
Even if a solid colored foal who is born with a paint parent or parents isn’t allowed to be
shown QH. They are called paint breeding stock or something. I’m not quite sure if a paint
can be double registered Paint/QH but possibly after being paint registered they could also
be registered Paint QH through the paint registery?
Ach. I thought they
changed that rule. :blink:
which one?
The rule where QH’s with
white past certain points are not allowed to be shown in QH shows or something.
That’s always been a rule,
it’s part of the breed standard.
Okay I checked the current
rule book and here’s what it says…
rule 205-
d)White Markings:
A horse having white
markings with underlying light skin beyond any one of the following described lines shall be
eligible for registration by AQHA[b][u] only if it is parentage
verified through DNA typing the offspring, its sire and its dam. Breeders should be aware
that the American Quarter Horse, while long recognized, identified and promoted as a
solid-colored horse, can and does occasionally produce offspring with overo paint
characteristics. Such markings are uncharacteristic of the breed and are considered to be
undesireable traits. The following notification shall be placed on registration certificated
of horses exceeding these marking limitations:
"This horse has white markings designated
under AQHA rules as an underireable trait and uncharacteristic of the
breed."[/u][/b]
1)A line parallel with the ground drawnaround the
front leg at the point halfway b/w the point of the elbow and the protrusion onthe back of
the knee.
2)A line parallel with the ground at the center of the gaskin on the hind legs.
The top point of the reference to be the bony protrusion on the inside of the stifle region
and the most prominent bony protrusion at the top and inside of the hock.
3)A line around
the horse’s neck immediatley behind the poll and through the midpoint of the throat
latch.
4)Within the area describedas two inches on either side of the ventral midline,
beginning at a point midway between the front legs and extending to, and including, the
sheath and udder.
underlying light skin, such that it can be completely covered with a disk one inch in
diameter, either freestanding on the horse’s bodyor being a portion of white marking
extending past the above prescribed lines.
located on the horse’s genitalia, including sheath or udder, in the axillary regian or
inside the hind legs including the inner surface of the hindquarters up to and including the
ventral surface of the tail and which are not readily visible when the horse is ina standing
position are not considered white markings as described in (d) above.
So basically I guess
a horse can be registered with undesireable characteristics but it will be noted on the
papers. Still not clear though if the horse can still be shown in AQHA or just AQHA breeding
stock classes. But I don’t think I would want to be showing a QH with bad uncharacteristic
markings anyways because your basically entering a class with a fault with out even showing
yet. Man, this stuff is confusing…lol. I’d suggest just buying a horse that isn’t on the
boarder line of the markings! But if your a breeder I guess this sort of thing will be an
issue at some point. Though I know that Cremello’s and Perlinos weren’t able to be AQHA
registered till a while ago, either.
Ahhhhh, I see. So, at one
time were they not allowed to be registered?
My favorite is the QH, but
Appendix QH’s are awesome. I have one of each so I can’t really pick one over the other.
As someone said I love the height you get with the Appendix but they still have the QH mind
and a little more of the QH look than a full TB. I think QH’s make great all around horses
too though.
And on that QH with white
markings, I believe they can be double registered both as a QH and a Paint. And are allowed
to show as both. I know a couple people who have them and have done this, thought I do not
know if it is still that way or not. However, if you breed a QH to a Paint the baby will
either be breeding stock or paint, becasuse one parent is a paint. But if you breed a QH to
a QH and get a painted horse it can still be registered QH. It seems a bit weird…lol.
I wish I had seen that
question I do alot with quarter horse and paint breeders so I could have helped you out
there. I think the rule is… well stupid. Go look at the Foundation Quarter Horses and tell
me how many of them have white beyond the old rule. I’m a big fan of the foundation type
quarter horses. I also believe that because Double Reg. horses are so popular that soon you
will see more horses that are both Paint and QH than you will QH. If you go look in the Paint
Horse Journal you’ll see a large number of stallions whose main selling point is 'The only
way to get a Double Reg. QH/Paint is to breed one!’
Yeah it’s cool that they
can be double registered now. Though, I’m more in favor on the old tradition. I think
it’s cool that a paint colored QH and a solid colored QH can compete together but I think
that in a AQHA show the paints should be penalized since the color is uncharacteristic of the
breed.
