Cold-blooded, Hot-blooded, and Warm-blooded

Cold-blooded, Hot-blooded, and Warm-blooded, none of these terms have anything to do with the horses blood at all. Rather, they are terms used to describe breed types. Hot-blooded breeds include Thoroughbreds, Arabians, Barbs, Turks, Syrians, or a mixture of those breeds. The heavy drafts and cross-bred horses are often considered cold-blooded, while Hanoverians, Trakeheners and Dutch warmbloods are warm-blooded, which can trace their roots back to drafts with refinement from hot-blooded breeds, most commonly Arabians and Thoroughbreds.
