^ Yeah, but only a cross. He isn't pure bred Walker.

I don't think anyone ever said he was...

Adding my two cents...

Don't see any arab or lippizan really. QH, maybe a QH cross?

Well he does have a little gait but arabs have a gait sometimes I would really like to have a DNA test done on him but i havent asked a vet how much it would cost does anybody have an idea?

Thanks



I believe they're anywhere from $110-$180.

All breedable Percherons have to be DNA tested.   I'm not real sure that DNA testing will give you the breed.   What they usually do is compare the strands to known horses to determine parentage.    I know I had to DNA my TB's when I had them, too....for the same reason.   Check with your vet......this may not be the way to go.

Arabs do have a little gait but most people train it out of them they use arabs for a lot of saddle seat riding they will hold there head up high and brace there back so you cant post

I found this really neat website that deals with DNA profiling. Don't remember how much it is but I don't think it was very expensive.

He looks like a QH cross to me but thats just my opinion

there is no bond as strong as that between a rider and her horses (i love you two)

I definately don't see any arabian or lipizzan in him. There's really no way of telling just by looking at him. But where I live, if you don't know what it is, it's just a horse. Not any particular breed. He probably has a little bit of everything in him. But he is a pretty horse

I'm not sure if it's already been said, but I highly doubt the DNA test would be effective because there's nothing to compare it to.


Society does not need more children; but it does need more loved children. Quite literally, we cannot afford unloved children - but we pay heavily for them every day. There should not be the slightest communal concern when a woman elects to destroy the life of her thousandth-of-an-ounce embryo. But all society should rise up in alarm when it hears that a baby that is not wanted is about to be born. ~Garrett Hardin
