What's a Grade Horse?

Post by roseclare0000 »

I bred my Arabian x Welsh Cob stallion with my Part Quarter Horse x Turkmene mare and got a Grade Horse colt. I'm not really sure what that means?

That just means that the horse has too much mixed ancestry to be a majority of any breed, or in other words a "mutt". This can happen when you are trying to get a specific breed and the resulting foal did not meet the requirements to be that specific breed. Try evaluating that horse for the breed you want to see what was off. If you like the horse you can still eventually breed its offspring back to another breed, or try showing it. One of my best competition horses is a grade.
