The difference is that a warmblood is more of an active horse and is built for speed.On the other hand a coldblooded horse is more of a slow work horse or is used for shows.
There are 100s of different breeds of horse, but they fall into 3 categories: hot blood, cold blood and warm blood. Note that these are also written as warmblood, coldblood and hotblood.
The cold blood are breeds developed in middle an northern Europe, use as farm animals (e.g. pull plow), to pull carts, drag logs and other such heavy work. Their build reflects this with heavy bodies, large muscles and joints, heavy coat for winter. Also, a calm disposition to be easily managed.
Hot bloods are breeds from warmer climates, notably the Arabian from the middle-east. They were breed for speed, used for racing and long distance riding. Consequently, they have a lighter and more athletic build, with a more spirited temperament.
Warm bloods fall between the two, often the result of crossing a hot breed and a cold breed. Their build is closer to a hot than a cold, but they have the calmer temperament of the cold blood. They are used for equistrian sports (e.g. dressage, show jumping) where a horse needs athletic performance but also needs calm intelligence and trainability.
