You MIGHT be able to register it as a partial Friesian, but it won't look all that great. Andalusians have wonderful thick bodies, great necks, nice heads. Your hackney isn't going to pass on those features. They've got totally different breed conformation.

No - it will be a horse that has some characteristics of a Hackney, and some of a Fresian. Genetics are complicated, and no one can entirely predict beforehand exactly how mixing breeds will turn out. They can use educated guesswork, and examples of other Fresian/Hackney mixes, but one mixed-breed horse won't necessarily inherit the same combinations of genetic material as another mixed-breed horse comprising the same breeds.
An Andalucian cannot be made by crossing two entirely seperate and unrelated horse breeds, any more than crossing a Poodle and a Labrador in dog breeding would give you a Chihuahua.
If you want pictures, try Google Images, Photobucket, Flickr etc - you're sure to find a few pictures out there of this particular mix.

You'll get a grade horse.
