Grade horse
A grade horse is a
mare
, but animals who themselves are of uncertain bloodlines.
Experienced horsepeople can usually spot a breed type in most grade horses.[1] Some grade horses may have at least partially known breeding, but may not have been registered by their breeder, particularly if the product of an unintended mating, or may have been sold without papers. Unless a horse has been permanently marked with a brand, implanted microchip or lip tattoo, a once-registered animal sold without papers is often unidentifiable after it has passed through the hands of several owners.
A horse that is registered is one recorded with a
show jumper and was eventually inducted into the United States Show Jumping Hall of Fame
