In the zoologic/biologic sense, all horses are warm-blooded or endothermic. However, horse owners have historically recognized three types of horses: "hot blooded", "warm blooded" and "cold blooded" based upon the old system of equating the heat of the blood with temperament.
A "hot blooded" horse was an excitable and active horse breed such as Arabians and Barbs.
A "cold blooded" horse was a solid, quiet horse breed such as Friesans, Clydesdales and other draft-horse breeds.
A "warm blooded" horse was the offspring of a cross between a "hot blooded" and a "cold blooded" horse, and was developed as the favored mount of a knight in armor as these horses had the size and stamina to carry an armored knight but picked up some of the speed and flexibility of the Arabian crossed into them.
Currently, "warm blooded" horses account for most breeds in the world, ranging from the American Quarter Horse to the Thoroughbred. However, there is also a specific breed of horse called the Warmblood.
