what horse breed

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. :slight_smile:

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 :wink:.

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.

  1. Additionaly, there is allowed a single area of white markings with

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.

  1. Areas of white, pink, or mottled skin

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.
