What would a mixed horse be called2007-11-24 21:22:07

What would a horse that is the outcome of two different breeds be called? Would it just be called mixed or some more scientific name?

For example: If a Peruvian Paso and a Morgan had a foal.

Depends on what the rules say. But i would say just a grade horse. Short and sweet. But with that breed they are going to be smooth.

well the name for a "mixed horse" is grade horse. It means not full blooded. And if a Peruvian Paso and a Morgan had a foal then it would be a Peruvian Paso/Morgan Cross. Some grade breeds have special names for them like the Quarab-Quarter Horse and Arabian. Or the Morab-Morgan and Arabian. I know someone with a Percheron(sp?) Haflinger mix. We call her the Perchlinger. lol

Grade horse.

A horse that is born of parents of different breeds is called a cross. Some crosses have specific names such as a quarab (quarter horse and arab) or an iberian warmblood (andalusian and thoroughbred) Some crosses can be registered, others cannot. Crosses that cannot be registered are considered grade horses. Grade horses are also horses that are purebred that are not registerable for any other reason.

Well, usually the horse is referred to by both breeds. For example, I have an Arab/saddlebred mix, and my mom has a Quarter/Appy mix. I reckon if a Peruvian Paso and a Morgan had a foal, it'd be a Morgan/Paso mix, or Peruvian/Morgan mix. Whatever floats your boat.
