A Qurab horse is a cross between an Arabian<\/a> and a Quarter Horse<\/a> or a Paint horse<\/a>. No other blood types are allowed. It goes without saying that the combination of these three breeds is not unique, nor is it new. They were informally crossbreed in the US since the 1960’s and eventually became popular enough for associations to be formed. <\/p>\n In 1984 the United Quarab Registry (UQR) was established for Quarter Horse, Arabian crosses. A new color section added in 1989 for Painted Quarab animals which included blood from American Paint horses with tobiano<\/a> and overo<\/a> patterns. However this was a privately owned registry and they went out of business. In response, the International Quarab Horse Association was founded in 1999, functioning under the same guidelines, but expanding internationally.<\/p>\n This combination of bloodlines tends to resemble all three of their foundation breeds and the registry recognizes three types. <\/p>\n Straight or Foundation <\/strong> Stock<\/strong> Pleasure<\/strong> Average height 14 – 16 hands<\/p>\n Can lean more towards the refined Arabian or the stock horse in type The registry accepts animals of all colors<\/a> and Pinto white patterns<\/a>.
