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.
This and this. Plus its more likely to be TBXDRAFT x TB to preform and act like a warmblood. First gen draft cross's can still be super bulky and heavy, enough so that very high and very fast jumping and sports are beyond them.
