I am always quite confused about all these Sporthorses, Irish, Welsh, Scottish, does it just depend where they are born then and the native used to cross them on?

Ah, getting a basic ID passport with XY or Z Sport Horse on the front and calling it an XY or Z sporthorse arent the same as meeting the eligibility criteria for being on the main registers ...

My OHs friend has a Heinz 57 shes got a SSH basic ID passport for and delights in telling people its a SSH :D

Of course...:) Thankyou

I admit to knowing very little about European Sportshorse breeding, but breed a QH to a Tb here and it is called an Appendix!

To British ears bragging "I have an American Appendix" sounds odd :D

I think she looks Cob x TB.

But recently I've seen loads of Irish Sports Horses of different shapes and sizes. I always thought Irish Sports Horses were ID x TB but I guess I'm wrong.

If a horse is from Ireland and its a mixed breed people will call it an Irish Sports Horse because it sounds posh, regardless of breeding.

- anything else then it was just a crossbred pure and simple, the goalposts have been moved apparently.
Who cares? A good horse is a good horse regardless of what it's lineage is. Dig far enough and most are related to Eclipse anyway ;)

Not easy quoting the right bit!

Like a lot of the warmblood registries, being registered doesn't mean it is any breed.
My second pony was connie x ID - very much an Irish Sports horse but back then was a part bred ID. My American Paint mare is registered with Wetherbys!
A friends Dutch Sports horse would be a part bred Arab if born in the UK

I have a Paint in my barn closely related to the 2011 World Champion Paint Speedhorse :) It's all down to % isn't it? All my Paints and QH's have Three Bars within 5 generations and he was 100% tb

To the poster who said can't have coloured TB or coloured ID: I have filly who's seven eighths TB and one eighth ID, all registered and most definitely coloured. Also a coloured colt taking the racing world by storm at the moment. The times they are a changing!
 
again, you can register anything with Weatherbys, its not just TBs :D

*Weatherbys ID Passports is an authorised Passport Issuing Organisation providing passports for animals of unknown or unverified pedigree. *
 
She looks like an Irish Sports Horse to me! Maybe get an Irish Sport horse specialist to take a look at her, they will know for sure. Maybe contact her old owners too because they will be certain to know!
:)
 
Her passport dosent have her mother or father in it and her last owners said she was not sure what breed she was. She had quite a thin coat in the summer and no feathers or hair anywhere really. She is an amazing wee jumper allot of people underestimate her. She was born in Ireland, and trained and competed over there she has points for jumping in Ireland, she only came over to Scotland in 2009 i think, i might be wrong though.

Love her to bits shes a wee cutie, she has got really "Springy" paces to. I call it springy but my friend says its like shes trotting on a trampoline lol. :D

But you can get all the rights and privilages the same as the GSB,as in you can race if you spend money on registering a broodmare, and your stallion and then purpose breeding in the NTR to race a lot of racehorses are NTR this is Not to be confused with the Weatherbys Basic ID passport they are not the same thing AT All.
Our 7/8th Coloured Tobiano is in pre trainin at the moment, his dam is in the GSB and so is his full sister.
To the OP your horse to me is ether a coloured cob x TB as the Tb seems to have been slightly more dominant I would say that its more like 60 %TB phenoptype 40% Cob if that helps you in any way or the cross was cobx warmblood with TB being in the warmblood.
 
I was trying to help others, who may not know they can register in the NTR and race there stock, as long as both sire and dam are registered in either the GSB or NTR register, I had not noticed you mention weatherbys other then ID passports
