Warmblood filly

This is a really random question but do Warmbloods tend to have a lot of feather? I’ve always had lighter breeds so wasn’t sure.

Not generally, no! Though my own homebred warmblood filly does have quite hairy heels…. Not quite sure where they came from!

I have 3, one is what I would describe as a traditional type where you can see the draught horse influence. He's got large feet and quite hairy legs. The other 2 are a modern type with less bone, small feet for their size and almost no feather.

Warmbloods are basically heavier horses crossed at some point with TBs and/or Arabs, so the amount of feather will depend on the horses in their breeding. In some cases pure TBs or Arabs can be entered into warm blood stud books if they pass the entry criteria, so no feather at all. I don’t think you can generalise on such a huge variety of breeds that can be counted as warmbloods.
