The terms skewbald and piebald are not really used anymore. They were ways of describing pinto color patterns. But the breeds that allow and promote color are APHA (Paints), AQHA (Quarter Horses), Pinto registry, Spotted Walking Horse, Spotted American Saddle Horse.
Yes it can
I meant to ask what breeds of draught horses are skewbald oops:(
yours sincerely
the guy who asked the question in the first place
Since skewbald is a color and not a breed, it can be any height. So it depends on the breed of the horse.
A horses color has no bearing on it's physical abilities. Strength will depend on the horses conformation , training , and willingness.
Yes you can they are often skewbald with a black and White main

Usually Skewbald. But horses of that colour can also be called pinto. Skewbald means brown and white patches and pinto just refers to any horse with colour and white patches. Paint horses are actually a breed of horse that usually come in that colouring.
A skewbald horse is one that has patches of colour, but this colour cannot be black.
Draught horses such as shires and clysdales were used but also Gypsy Vanners. Gypsy Vanners are a smaller draught breed that is extremely strong for its size. Horses that were used on the canals are called barge horses. you can still see barge horses working today but it is much rarer since the invention of speed boats and things, its a shame realy, they are lovley.
Piebald is black splotches, skewbald is brown splotches.
A piebald horse is a horse with irregular black patches on a gray coat (which may appear white). There are two other colorings to distinguish a piebald from: Paint horses and Skewbald. A Skewbald horse has similar patches, but they are brown. A Paint horse is the opposite - they seem to have white patches on a solid coat.
