How do you know if a horse is purebred?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

A horse is considered purebred if it has documented lineage tracing back to a specific breed registry. This documentation ensures that the horse possesses the characteristics and qualities typical of the breed. Many purebred horses also have registration papers to confirm their ancestry.
