Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The Welsh pony and the Arabian horse have been crossed to produce this versatile pony. What is it called?

Answer: Welara pony

This breed registry has been in existence since 1981, thanks to a group of Southern California ranchers. The cross itself has been crossed for years before this, due to its versatility as a pony. It's been known to hunt, to jump, and to do harness work (such as competitively pulling a carriage), English pleasure and endurance riding.

The Welara can come in any color but appaloosa.
2. The American Saddlebred and the Arabian have come together to produce what breed?

Answer: National Show Horse

The National Show Horse, or NSH, is a cross between the American Saddlebred and the Arabian. The NSH is a gaited horse, and like the AS, can be either three or five gaited. The NSH can be any color but appaloosa.

In August 1989, the NSH had a registry of their own.
3. Which breed is a result of a Morgan/Arabian breeding?

Answer: Morab

The Morab is a cross between a Morgan and an Arabian. The first registry began in 1973, although there have been records of Morgan blood in the Arabian horse registry for several years. The International Morab Breeder's Association registers Morabs. They can be any solid color.

One of the most popular Morabs was a stallion named "Golddust." He was gold, with white on his hind ankle, and was an impressive height of 16 hands. He was never defeated in the show ring at the trot or flat-footed walk.
4. The Pony of the Americas is a cross between more than two breeds of horses.

Answer: True

The Pony of the Americas (or POA) is a cross between several breeds of horses. Those breeds are as follows: Arab, Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse, Appaloosa, Welsh Pony, and Shetland Pony. There are several more breeds that are thought to have influenced the POA.

The POA is a spotted pony breed. It must have appaloosa markings, such as the spotted coat, mottled skin and striped hooves. The height can range from 46" to 56" at the withers.

The POA registry was started in 1954.

The Appendix Quarter Horse is a cross between the Quarter Horse and the Thoroughbred. It's a versatile breed, mainly used in western riding. It's not a color-based breed, as it can be solid colors as well as paint colors.

Answer: mule

The mule is a cross between a jack, which is a male donkey, and a mare, which is a female horse. The mule is usually sterile, although there have been recorded cases of a mule having offspring.

The mule can come in many varieties, such as draft mules and riding mules. Some people even prefer to ride mules over horses, due to their resilience.
9. The Walkaloosa is a newer breed. It can result from a cross of an Appaloosa with which breed(s)?

Answer: Any or all of these

The Walkaloosa has been described as a gaited Appaloosa with the markings of the Appaloosa mixed with a walking gait. Early versions of the breed, called foundation bred Apaloosas, came from Spanish horses called Paso Finos (literally meaning 'fine steps') but other breeds have also been introduced to produce the animal now known as the Walkaloosa.
10. This horse is the national horse of Mexico, and a crossbreed.

Answer: Azteca

The Azteca is a cross between the quarter horse and the Andalusian. The registry was formed in 1989. They can come in any solid color, but are usually born black and turn gray with age. They range from 15.2 to 16 hands, and are incredibly athletic.
