Name That Horse Breed Quiz
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.

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.

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.

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.

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