If a female and male horses are different breeds how do you now what breed the foal will be?

It really depends on the breed of the mare and stallion. Normally, the foal would just be a cross breed, but, for example, if you bred a quarter horse and an Arabian, the foal would be classed as a Quarab. Or, if you breed a warm blooded sport horse with an Irish Draught horse, the foal would be classed as an Irish Sport Horse. Hope this helps! :)
