There is no absolutely sure way, unless you have registration papers or your horse is an outstanding example of its breed. Arabians are generally recognizable because they have a dished head, very small, fine muzzle, and will arch their necks in a very characteristic manner. Appaloosas are usually spotted, but solid ones are well known. Quarter Horses are big, muscled horses most of the time. Draft horses, such as Clydesdales and Percherons, have large feet and are very tall. Gaited horses move in a way other than a normal walk/trot/canter. The best way to determine a breed is to narrow the horse down to what breeds it could be, and then investigate the breed characteristics.

You generally can't, unless a horse has papers (or a registry brand or tattoo) that shows it is. It's impossible to tell if a horse is purebred by looking at it.

If you mean how do you tell the age of a horse, it's by looking at the body structure (body relative to the legs) and the teeth.
