When they're sorted like they are below (which is the most common), they're so easy to understand and remember. It's the divisions here that are odd (and everything I said above). Yes, some horses will fit into more than one division, but you go with the one that makes the most sense.
Light breeds - horses with a 'light' body type and conformation. Examples: Thoroughbred, Arab, Morgan (non-gaited).
Gaited breeds - horses that perform another gait, such as pacing, running walk, etc. Examples: Saddlebreds, Missouri Fox Trotters, Standardbreds (those that pace) gaited Morgans, etc.
Stock breeds - obviously stock horses. Examples: Quarter Horses, Appaloosas, paints (not pintos), aussie stock horses, etc.
Spanish breeds - with Spanish ancestory Examples: Lipzzaners, Andalusians, etc.
Draft breeds - draft horses Examples: Shires, Clyesdales, percerhons, etc
Pony Breeds - ponies Examples: Shetlands, Welshes, etc
Warmblood Breeds - warmbloods Examples: Hanoverians, holsteiners, trakenhers, Dutch warmbloods, etc
You get the idea.

I think the model is suited to be a Quarab, which is the fancy name for a Quarter Horse crossed with an Arab. The QH brings out the colour and the stockiness, Arab explains the head.
Daley Park - I'll check over the rules and edit them to make them easier to understand. I think I may have to add a gaited breeds class, because they aren't really a light or medium breed in some cases. If you have any other problems with the site, questions or suggestions, please post in the Questions & Suggestions board.

Quarabs are fairly common, I often see them in Horse Deals Mag, there is a real ripper standing at stud

If you decide to go with Quarab I would say enter it in Light Breeds because the model's body isn't that heavly built like a Quarter horse and is more arab. Anyway if it says on the box or profile that the model came with what breed stick to that because some clubs (like ours) don't usually accept it when you change the breed unless it doesn't totally look like the breed it was choosen. And your's definitly looks like an Arab.

*cough* Who the hell came up with that stupid rule?! If a model is called an Arab by its manufacturor but obviously is soem sort of a draft breed, (and in this case the model in question CANNOT be a purebred Arab as Arabians do NOT have the dilute gene) then you should NOT show it as an Arab! Common sense people!
That is what breed assignment is all about! Have a look on Pony Lagoon - Breyer can use the same mold a hundred times and and call it a hundred different breeds. That's what manufacturors do. It is fairly rare (in my experience) that a model is shown successfully as the breed given to it by the manfacturor.
*breathes*
Misty - Quarabs are popular. Ever heard of Morabs (Morgan x Arab), pintabian (paint x Arab), Anglo Arab (TB x Arab), Arabian riding ponies (Arab x riding pony (which usually has a mix of TB etc lines anyway)), etc... You get the idea.

obviously everyone loves arabs ive heard of some of those breeds. breyer seems to put out a lot of breed/colour mixes that dont match. especially where appy's are concerned. i you stick with the original breed it may be quite difficult to pull off cause it is sold as both an arab and a warmblood- two different breeds altogether!

*hands Daley a chill pill* everyone makes stupid mistakes. No, I don't totally agree with it either, but I can see the point being made. Some models don't even come with a breed. I think Misty's model could be any sort or Arab cross, although it does seem suited to be a Quarab or Morab. Does anyone feel like breadsticks? I do. I want one of those long French ones. I love the smell of Baker's Delight... but who couldn't?
