Answer 5

In addition

TWH = Tennessee Walking Horse

MFT = Misouri Fox Trotter

PP = Peruvian Paso

PF = Paso Fino

SB = Saddle Bred or ASB = American Saddle Bred

Appy = Appaloosa

POA = Pony of America

And no there is no list that I know of because these are not official.  They are just the first letter of each word in the name.

Answer 6

I don't think that there is a definitive list... The few abbreviations that I know only extend to the more popular breeds and crosses... I think of you have a more rare breed it's unlikely anyone would be easily able to work out what it was, just by an abbreviation...

Hence, all I know are:

TB - Thoroughbred

ID - Irish Draft

AA - Anglo Arabian

QH -Quarter Horse

and obviously, then, you'd be able to write TB/ID for a Thoroughbred Irish Draft cross

Of course this is different top the breed society abbreviations, if the horse is registered as a particular breed..

Then you'll have things like AQHA (American quarter horse association) etc..

I don't think there is a website out there that lists them directly, but many of the horses for sale websites will occasionally use abbreviations...

Hope that helps you out :)
