Name That Horse Breed Quiz

Just 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 we put together a little horse breed quiz, so you can test yourself & see how well you know your horse breeds. Don’t worry, it’s not an easy one, we looked for animals that weren’t as obvious to make it challenging. In our opinion, horse people usually know their stuff!

Name That Breed

Here are 15 conformation shots of different horses, take a look at each one & see how many different breeds you can name. Good Luck! (psst, the answers are at the bottom of the page if you get stumped).

    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.

      @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.

    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.

    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 😉

    I got 9/15 correct. I knew the Quarter Horse, Morgan, Arabian, Marwari, Friesian, Akhal Teke, Percheron, and Peruvian Paso for sure, and I had Hackney as one of my two guesses for the Hackney. 😀 The Marwari is pretty easy if you just look at the ears.

    The Friesan looked quite small, so I thought it might be a Fell pony. The mustang looks like a thoroughbred as I’m not familiar with them, and most Morgans I’ve seen pictures of are more attractive 🙁 that’s a very beautiful Arab, but the stock horse looked much like a standardbred.. It was a good quiz though, just shows how varying the breeds can be 🙂

    This proves I’m not a horse person. I could only name 3 for sure. Number 14 I thought was a pony? But it really does matter because I have always found horse people very friendly and patient, especially with me. God Bless the rider with the wind in their hair, a war cry that can’t be contained, wings of straight pulsating thru their veins and bathed in joy like the sun so bright. (Did I say I like to ride?)

    Good, fun little test! I found most of them easy, but the Marwari totally threw me off. I expected it to be an Arabian or Saddlebred based on face shape, but I couldn’t see the ears. 🙁 OH WERLL, IT WAS FUN!
