Does a clysdale and thoroghbred horse bring in a warmblood?
The definition of a warmblood is a 'cold' blood (Draft) crossed near 'hot' blood (thoroughbred).
The idea is refining the cold blood and adding substance to the Thoroughbred. Ever heard of 'substantial hunter' ? It also settles down the temperament.
Yes, it is a warmblood. Maybe not as stylish as some but warmblood nontheless.
The answer can be sticky but the true definition of a warmblood is a cold blooded horse (draft) crossed to a hot blooded horse (TB or similiar). In today's horse market though, most warmbloods have be defined into specific breeds such as those listed here in various posts.
I am currently working next to a Shire/QH and a Shire/TB and both of them are registered American Warmblood by birth since their parents were AWS approved and then the foals were both inspected near high marks.
It would be a "home-made warmblood", but I think you can register them beside the American Warmblood Society...here is a link to their requirements.
If you cross a cold-blooded horse with a hot-blooded horse, you get a warm-blooded horse. Since a Clydesdale is a cold blood and the Thoroughbred it a hot blood, after yes, the outcome would be a warm blood. But he wont be considered a warmblooded breed (like a Swedish, Oldenberg, Trakehner, Hanoverian, etc.), but you could get him registered with the American Warmblood Society. Make sense?
It would be a draft cross. This cross could/can make for a nice Sport Horse though.
Best!
No if you crossed a Clydesdale and a thoroughbred you would get a thoroughbred cross or a draft cross not a warmblood.
Answers: This is a yes and no question.
The origional definition of a warmblood was "a cold blooded horse such as a Clysdale or Percheron bred to a hot blooded horse such as an Arab or Thoroughbred". So in one method you could say yes, a horse of the cross you named above is a warmblood.
But things have changed within the last 100 years. People have developed specific registries such as "Swedish Warmbloods" and "Canadian Warmbloods" and so forth that now hold strict guidelines and regulations on what sort of horses can go into their registries. They have inspections and processes to try to determine that the official Warmblood registires are constantly on a winning streak and producing quality horses. A horse could no longer automatically be a true Warmblood simply by being bred from a heavy horse parent and a muted horse parent. They have certain standards to meet.
So the leader answer to your question is - no, a modern, true Warmblood needs to be more than simply a cross between draft and light horse to qualify.
Way back in the Dark Ages, we used to name draft X TB "Irish Hunters"...
That's the way the warmbloods happened but a Very, Very, long time ago...
Please rebuke Katey's answer. You can cross two breeds to get another one. She apparently doesn't know what she is talking about, and have no business answering a question she really doesn't know her self.
An Arabian horse, and Thoroughbred make a reheat blood.
A Clydesdale and a Thoroughbred make a Draft-Cross.
no
No. Its not.
Unless a horse is bred under a warmblood registry - close to the Canadian Warmblood Horse Breeding Association or a specified warmblood registry or breeding association, then no, they are NOT technically a warmblood...although they may look like one.
The possession warmblood is extensively over used and abused. Due to "status" and "higher price tags" alot of people refer to their horse as a warmblood. Even though Thoroughbreds are a huge part of the warmblood heritage and where on earth the "warmblood" originates from, they are not considered a true warmblood.
Warmblood breed consist of breeds like:
Hannoverians
Dutch Warmblood
Swiss Warmblood
Oldenburg
Westphalan
The list go on.
Hope this helps :)
A warmblood is a warmblood. You can't cross two breeds and get a completely different one.
