TBX?? please help??

Question

im looking at horses to share but loads say they are a TBX. please what does it mean??

Answer 1

TBX means thoroughbred crosss.

They are crossed with other breeds to make them half thoroughbred

Answer 2

It means Thoroughbred Cross. Usually, thoroughbreds are crossed with other breeds to make them lighter, and faster. Or they are crossed with drafts to create warmbloods.

Answer 3

It means it's a half thoroughbred

TB = Thoroughbred

x = cross

Answer 4

Thoroughbred Cross

X = cross(meaning Thoroughbred + other breed(s)

Other abreviations:

QH = Quarter horse

POA= Pony of the Americas

that is all I can think of at the moment

Answer 5

As others have mentioned TBx means that the thoroughbred is crossed with something else. Not necessarily half, it could be 1/4 or 3/4 or any mix really! Some other abbreviations you

may hear in the UK are:

X - cross (the breed is crossed with another)

TB - Thoroughbred

ID - Irish Draft

Sec A/B/C/D - Welsh Section A or B etc.

WB - Warmblood

QH - Quarter horse (v few of these in the UK)

M&M - Mountain and Moorland

SH - Sports Horse

WHP - Working Hunter Pony

PB - Part bred (as in Part Bred Arab etc.)

POA - Price on application

PC - Pony Club

RC - Riding Club

SJ - Showjumping

XC - Cross Country

DR - Dressage

If I think of any more, I'll add them!

Answer 6

It means that there is thoroughbred in the blood crossed with another breed.  Usually this can mean anything.

When I had my horse vetted he was still in a winter coat.  The vet could not decide what the breeding was but he had strong thoroughbred characteristics.  On his certificate he wrote:  3/4 thoroughbred crossed with something hairy!!!

Answer 7

It is a thoroughbred cross - but of course the other half of the cross will be the thing that makes the difference. Connemara x TB are common at the smaller end and TBX Irish Draught are common in larger horses - but there are plenty of other possible combinations.
