question I wonder if my paint might have Hackey blood also?

Answer 1

If your paint is registered I would say it is very highly unlikely as the APHA registration is closed to only Paints, Quarter horses with proper markings, and Thoroughbreds (cannot have more than 75% of TB blood) with proper markings.
It is possible even with a registered paint to have other breeds in a pedigree; on older horses papers sometimes you can trace their pedigrees back to an unregistered paint/horse mare or stallion. I have seen papers on a paint stallion that had "Grey mare" on its pedigree with no further information about her sire or dam. But, if this is the case the breed characteristics for the Hackney (horse or pony) would be so diluted that they would not show in any offspring.
If your paint is not registered then yes it is possible. But hackneys have very different conformation than paints; so it is very easy to tell the breeds apart.
Smartgrrlz check your info-
Hackney ponies and horses are not all that uncommon in the US; in fact they show at most Society horse shows along side Saddlebreds, Morgans, and Arabians. In fact most Saddlebred farms breed and/or train this beautiful breed.
Pony rider-
A coggins test will most times say (there are a couple of different forms that vets can use) what breed a horse is according to the information provided by the owner. But, the owner does not have to show proof to the vet that the horse is the actual breed that they say it is. A coggins test is by no means a way to find out what your horses bloodlines are.
Arthur D-
Please, describe what makes you think your horse has hackney breeding or post a photo on a host site so I can examine it.

Answer 2

It would be very unlikely that your paint would have Hackney bloodlines.
If your horse is registered you can check by looking at the papers and doing some research into his parents and such.
There is an all breed registry web site that if your horse is registered you can look up like a five generation pedigree on it.
I think it is www.allbreedpedigreequery.com or something like that.

For Pony RIder,
A coggins test will tell you if your horse has EIA (equine infectious anemia) and only that. It has nothing to do with anything other than a test for a disease. Does not deal at all with bloodlines in horses.

Answer 3

Well, I wouldent be able to answer that for you but he/she might, if your paint has the look and personality of an hackey, have you researched the hakney breed? If not that would be the first pleace I would look. Also if your paint is regestered, I would reseach the lineage, well unless your reg. papers on the horse got swiched (Which happens more then people would like to admint) I am not sure if a blood test could tell you are not you might wanna ask a vet about that (well if it is really that improtant to you to know, because it will be exspenive to do that) Hopes this helps!

Answer 4

Hackney ponies and hackney horses are pretty uncommon in N.America, assuming that is where you are. If your horse is a registered paint you can research the bloodlines and you should be able to discover any hackney blood somewhere in his parentage. You don't give any clues as to why you ask this. Hacknies have a distinctive build and gait. Does your paint?

Answer 5

Hackney ponies are pretty distinct looking ponies. Paints are also pretty distinct looking. I think it would be pretty hard for a registered paint to have some hackney because they are two totally different breeds, they even come from different countries. I'm not sure that the APHA would register a horse that had hackney bloodlines.

Answer 6

IDK..attempt observing forensic archives or chilly case archives something like that..first they wash blood off then paint over it till some smarty pants get a extreme tech florescent gentle that %. up blood..i know toothpaste can no longer do it..

Answer 7

If you want you can look at his cogins and/or his papers if he is registered, and it will show his bloodlines and you can look up the horses and find out!
