Belgian draft, thoroughbred, quarter mix


Over View
New breeds of draft horses are popping up everywhere. Among those, are Redwood drafts. Bred down from three different breeds, (Belgian drafts, thoroughbreds and quarter horses) Redwoods are a unique breed. Inheriting the strength of the Belgian drafts, Redwoods are powerful and stalky, yet come in a close second on speed from the thoroughbred parents. The quarter horse third parent gives Redwoods a larger scale of colorations and markings, as opposed to the limited colors of Belgians and thoroughbreds.
Once one of the rarest breeds of drafts, Redwoods are now becoming more and more available, as they are bred more and more.
As a generally docile and calm breed, they are much easier to train, and safer to ride than most others. Though they are most commonly used for pleasure riding, shows designed specifically for their skills and strength are being developed.

Coloration and Marking
Redwoods come in a large range of colors. Nearly every color and marking is found in them, and very few are rare. Just a few of the more common colors are;
Blue roan
Red roan
Purple roan
Bay roan
Light bay
Dark bay
Cherry bay
Seal bay
Buckskin
Palomino
Chestnut
Liver chestnut
Flaxen liver chestnut
Dun
Wolf dun
Red dun
Bay dun
Grullo
Grulla
Rose gray
Gray
Black
Common markings are anything that does not make the horse nearly all white.
With the common colors, there are of course a few rarer ones. These are any that make the draft very light colored, or pale, and chimeric. Rarer markings include;
Leopard appaloosa
Near leopard appaloosa
Medicine hat
And any others that make the horse almost all white
Chimeric is only found in the rarest occasions. And when it is, it is always one common base, black, and some form of white markings. (example; viewtopic.php?f=53&t=2810677 and viewtopic.php?t=2853936)

I think It would be cool with they had specific tack made specially for the breed?
Or since most breeds are made for riding maybe these are for plowing?

They are adorable, I can't wait to see them around ;o;
