It may have any tb,
but dear horsenaround, I don't know what do you want to do with this horse.
It has a serious pathologic flexibility in her fetlock joints on the forelegs, look at the angle of the angle of the joint. She won't be able to ridden on within a few years. Maybe she has been overridden in her former life.
and i agree with the others. she has bowed tendons, a long back and a myriad of other conformational/physical issues. i mean no offence i just think she would need special care and training/riding boundaries considering some of her obvious physical issues
I'm going to guess she's probably a mixture. Just like there are a lot of mixed breed dogs, there are a ton of mixed breed horses. I wouldn't be suprised if there was some TB in her like someone mentioned, or even a little QH.
Check out the health section, her complete story is in there... She is a rescue that came in last night. Yes she has some major issues and if anything she will be lightly ridden by the kids IF and when we get all of her issues handled. She is more then welcome to be here and simply be a pasture buddy for Bristol.
I was simply curious as to what breeds you all thought she may be.
Thanks
She's an Appendix QH. My guess is one parent was full TB and the other was half TB half QH. You can tell by her body (QH) but her TB built legs, neck, and head.
The brand does not link to the breed, just the farm it was most likely born on or resided on sometime in it's life, you have to research brands. Country does not matter either just the origin of the brand.
Again, you can never know where a horse from, best bet is to go from owner to owner of the past and you will have a rough idea, you never know then either so dont take it to heart cause people fib when they want things to look REALLY good.
unfortunately i can't ask horse's previous owners about his past, breed etc, because it was bought by a foundation after his accident, from some horsedealer. this brand is my only track.

Then the most I can suggest is if you are really determined ask the Jockey Club, AQHA, if they have a registry to appendix's try that as well, see if they keep records of brands. If not I wouldn't worry about it, just sit back, relax, cause it looks like you have a good horse there.
The reason is her head looks Arab, and her body looks saddlebred.
