What breeds of horses made a Tennessee Walker?

A light horse breed founded in middle Tennessee, the Tennessee Walking Horse is a composition of Narragansett and Canadian Pacer, Standardbred, Thoroughbred, Morgan, and American Saddlebred stock. Originally bred as a utility horse, this breed is an ideal mount for riders of all ages and levels of experience. The breed easily adapts to English or Western gear, and its calm, docile temperament combined with naturally smooth and easy gaits insure the popularity of the Tennessee Walking Horse as the "world's greatest show, trail, and pleasure horse." From http://www.twhbea.com/breed/history.php I have a TWH and LOVE her! Smooth gaits, great disposition and just the right size. She is 15.3 H, but they range from 14H to 16+H.

What is the name of an Andalusian horse breed with a quarter horse breed with Criollo horse?

Not too sure what you're asking here. Are you asking what the name of a horse would be if it's got Andalusian, Quarter Horse and Criollo? Well, for one, Criollo isn't exactly a true breed, it's just a colour breed, and if the horse of this mix is not Criollo itself the Criollo part of the equation wouldn't count nor matter. Thus this leaves us with the possibility of saying the horse is an Andalusian-Quarter horse cross. Answer 2: Well in Mexico the cross of Andalusian/Quarter horse & Criollo is called an Azteca. In the USA the cross is Andalusian/Quarter horse or Paint horse and is called an American Azteca.
