The term Horse Crossbreeds has a wide meaning. After all, there are hundreds of breeds of horses throughout the world, and only a handful has actually remained "pure." Several of the breeds of horses are a result of purposeful breeding in order to produce speed, strength, or whatever else the horse was needed for at the time. For example, the Morgan, a strong pulling horse that originated in America, is a mix of Thoroughbred, Arab, and possibly Welsh horses as well.

Warmbloods

As said before, some horses, such as the Thoroughbred and Arab, have been purposely bred to stay pure. The Arab breed, in particular, is also known as a hotblood. Often horses are bred with Arabs in order to produce what is called a warmblood. A high percentage of the numerous breeds of horses in the world today are warmblooded.

Mules

When a horse is bred with a donkey, the result is a mule. Mules are excellent beasts of burden and are capable of pulling very heavy loads. Unfortunately, they are unable to reproduce on their own. A mule couple can never make another mule.

There are many crossbreeds that could be discussed, but the space allotted here does not allow. The important thing to remember is that horses that are “pure-breed” may not be the best for your lifestyle. In fact, a crossbreed may be exactly what you are looking for.
