Name That Horse Breed Quiz

Gypsy Vanner Horse How different are the horse breeds?
Most equestrians pride themselves on their vast knowledge of horseflesh. Some horse breeds have obvious confirmation traits, while others have been diversified into different ‘types’.

How much do you know?
So I put together a little horse breed quiz, so you could test yourself and see how well you know your horses.

Name that Breed
Here are 15 confirmation shots of different breeds, take a look at each one and see how many different breeds you can name.

    That’s tough! I got the QH, Shire, Arabian, Fressian, and the Hackney horse. Nice pictures!

  2. Paige says:

    If I didn’t know the answers, I probably wouldn’t get that many correct.

    I did try to make it a challenge, nothing easy is ever worth it. ;)

  3. em_amy says:

    nope don’t remember them from pics just nAME,

  4. Equine says:

    I got quite a few of them right. I missed Shire (Thought it was a Gypsy Vanner). Marwari is a rare american indian breed of horse that I’m not too familiar with. Australian Stock Horse threw me for a loop. Akhal Teke is a rare russian breed and most horses I’ve seen from that breed seemed a little more refined. The Spanish Mustang threw me cause he was grey.

    • Sefra says:

      @Equine: Marwari is an Indian breed not American Indian.
      I got almost all of them, but the marwari being pinto kinda threw me off. I like the fact that you put in Spanish Mustang (I got that one right of the bat!)The only ones I missed were Peruvian Paso, Marwari and Holsteiner. I like the quiz, well done! Difficult enough, but not too challenging.

  5. Paige says:

    I tried to make the quiz challenging, sounds like you did alright equine.

    The Marwari horse is actually from India, and yes, the example I choose does not have ideal confirmation for the breed.

  6. natasha says:

    i got ost of them right. the Marwari Horse, Peruvian Paso, and Australian Stock Horse.the rest was easy!!!!!!

  7. Paige says:

    Nice job Natasha. I think the Marwari horse threw everyone, would have thrown me if I hadn’t made the quiz.

    Which breed to you prefer?

  8. Oro-Luv Trottr says:

    OMG! These pics r so cute!

  9. Nikki says:

    Pretty good! i got just about everything with the exception of the Australian Stock and Marwari. You might want to use horses that fit some of the breeds standards better if you want to make it easier for your readers… or were you trying to trick us lol ;)
