BREYERFEST BREED CLASSIFICATION LIST
updated 1/8/14
The following list will tell you where to show your horse according to its breed. Breeds are classified according
to country of origin and general breed standards/characteristics/ uses. Where breeds are groups together (such
as "Stock Breeds"), refer to the O.F. Halter classlist to see what breed groups are in that category. Any breed
not listed here should be presented to the Show Manager prior to the show so that a decision can be made as to
which class is most appropriate. Great effort has been put into making this list all-inclusive; please read it
thoroughly before asking which class a horse should show in. Questions should be directed to Show Manager
Michelle Masters - michelle4374@triad.rr.com.
Where you see "aka", refer to the other name of the breed given to see where to show the horse.
All mixed breed horses should show in the Mixed Breed class in the section where the breeds of their cross are
shown, or where the breed that dominates their type is shown. The "All Other Mixed Breeds" class should
include any horse that is a cross of two or more breeds from different sections and does not exhibit obvious
characteristic of either type. For example, a TB/QH cross that looks as much Quarter Horse as Thoroughbred could
show here. This class will include crosses of rare breeds.
"Grade" refers to a horse whose breeding is unknown or is a mix of several different breeds. You can put "Grade" on
the horse's tag as its breed; there is no need to list numerous breeds.
Special Note: The following named Fresian crosses should show in the Mixed Breed class that is most suited to their
type. These are the Friewalker, Georgian Grande, Moriesian, and Warlander. If unsure, show them in Mixed Sport
or Mixed Draft, depending on their build.

NOTE: These herds are descendants of Colonial Spanish (Iberian) horses, but
came to this country hundreds of years ago. These horses definitely do have
traits of the Colonial Spanish type horses, but before efforts were made to
maintain the bloodlines, they developed into their own "Americanized" breeds
due to cross-breeding. This is why they are classified as Native North American
breeds.
