How do you tell what breed your horse is? Your horse will give you several clues as to their bloodline – including their coloring and markings, their build, size, and even their gait. You can use these clues to make an educated guess about the breed of your horse. You can also pay to have a genetic test performed on your horse, which will give you a quick and more scientific answer to your question.
