Guess the Breed--Horse!

Quote:
A-T were often crossed with warmbloods, but they themselves are not warmbloods.

Along with the Caspian Horse and Persian Horse, the A-T is believed to be one of the oldest pure breeds of horse still existing today and is even more ancient than the Arabian, based on DNA studies.

A warmblood, by the way, is not a draft-thoroughbred cross, or any other cross - such cross breds are called 'Half Breds' or 'Cross Breds'. Warmbloods originate from a number of European regional registries with the purpose of first producing fast cavalry horses, and then producing FEI riding/driving sport horses.

Oh, then I have a bad horse book...

guess it's a matter of technical usage vs. common usage. I trained with a very competitive trainer in SoCal and he always called the coldblood/hotblood crosses warmbloods. not the same as a specific warmblood breed, but nonetheless, warmbloods. pretty much heard the term useed that way throughout SoCal. in general if the horse was a specific warmblood breed, they were called by the breed name. if they were a cold/hot cross, they were just called warmbloods.​

I have been out there and never heard the term used that way. Generally, only the people selling the draft crosses (or buying them) call them warmbloods. It depends on who you are hanging around with - but calling a cross bred or a part bred a warmblood isn't correct usage - it's a marketing gimmick to make them sound more expensive.
