I believe he is an appendix Quarter horse. Due to his lines, conformation, and history. He features more TB than Quarter horse if you ask me, a QH is a short - compacted breed. While the TB is more sleek than a QH. You can tell he HAS QH, but he's an appendix in my opinion

From AQHA rule book;

Appendix Horse
A horse registered with AQHA which is the result of breeding a Thoroughbred and an American Quarter Horse that has a permanent number, or a combination of an Appendix numbered American Quarter Horse and an American Quarter Horse with a permanent number. Appendix horses are distinguished by an "X" in front of their registration number and their certificates are gold.

There are three different mixes of horses that are eligible to be registered in AQHA's registry:

Registered Appendix (X) + Registered American Quarter Horse (QH) = Registered Appendix foal(X)

Registered American Quarter Horse (QH) + Registered American Quarter Horse (QH) = Registered American Quarter Horse foal (QH)

Recognized Thoroughbred (TB) + Registered American Quarter Horse (QH) = Registered Appendix foal (X)

Some examples of horses that are not eligible for registration with AQHA:

Appendix (X) + Appendix (X)' not eligible to be registered
(Unless one Appendix horse advances)

Thoroughbred (TB)+ Appendix (X)'not eligible to be registered
(Unless the Appendix horse advances)

American Quarter Horse (QH)+ Any other breed of horse besides a registered Appendix, acknowledged Thoroughbred, or registered American Quarter Horse not eligible to be registered with AQHA

If I knew nothing else about him, judging from just looks yes he looks like a typical Appendix. I enjoy the english sport, especially Jumping and TB's have a fairly well rep. in this discipline but I do LOVE my QH's, so an Appendix is good for me.

Yes, should have an X in front of your AQHA on papers if he is an appendix. You could always contact the association or check them out at AQHA - AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE ASSOCIATION

I never get tired of looking at photos of Cal Bred!!

Not sure what your original question was, but an appendix is a QH/TB cross
