Guess the breed...

[missdit]

And he wouldn't be full Luci or Andi, he'd be a mix of at least a couple different things. I'm almost certain he's got a large belly marking...right smack dab underneath...hardly at all visible because the color's not much different than the rest of him, but I'm sure is there..

By the body shape and different characteristics, this gelding could possibly be an Iberian (Andalusian/Lusitano) cross.Both the neck, shoulder and even hip could make one believe it is a cross. However, he looks to have Belgian or Percheron breeding due to the feathering of the fetlocks.

His head however does not point to Iberian blood due to placement of the ears and nasal shape, same goes for the cheek.

Nice horse but he cannot of came from our stock.

We have found many times where people, not saying this is the case at all, think Iberian due to body shape and have even marketed horses as being half Andalusian.
If you come across a horse where it is claimed that the horse is half Andalusian please protect yourself and ask for a name of the sire or dam. Horses with a Purebred sire or dam can get half Andalusian papers. Not everyone registers their half breds but they should be more then happy to give you this information. It goes the same with any breed. If a seller claims a horse to be half this or that get the name of the breeder as well as the name of the sire and/or dam.
There is nothing wrong with having a horse with untraceable breeding but if a seller claims a certian breed but will not give a breeder`s name or sire/dam name and how to get a hold of the stud, mare owner walk away.
I have had people claim they have foals by our stallions. Due to stallion reports we can confirm if any horse is by our stallions. I am sure most stud owners, like us, keep records or any and all breedings. Plus like us, should a horse be unregistered but turns out to be from one of our horses, if it is registerable we can help in getting papers for your horse.
Again having an unpapered horse is okay, in most cases papers are just a form of paper trail verifing age and breeding.

you should see the feathering on my half andalusian, his feathers reach well to the ground. and yes he was dna/blood tested and registered. i thought many of them had feathering, no?

Some do have feathering, some do not. The Spanish line of Iberian horse did have Breton introduced to it in the past. As well the Iberian horse was a "farm" horse used for plowing where as the mares where often yoked together when thrashing grains. The feathering protected the fetlocks. : )

I would say draft/QH with maybe a touch of morgan or saddlebred. Lovely boy. He looks like he still has some growing to do.
