Answer 6

An "Appendix" American Quarter Horse is a first generation cross between a registered Thoroughbred and an American Quarter Horse or a cross between a "numbered" American Quarter Horse and an "appendix" American Quarter Horse. The resulting offspring is registered in the "appendix" of the American Quarter Horse Association's studbook, hence the nickname. Horses listed in the appendix may be entered in competition, but offspring are not initially eligible for full AQHA registration. If the Appendix horse meets certain conformational criteria and is shown or raced successfully in sanctioned AQHA events, the horse can earn its way from the appendix into the permanent studbook, making its offspring eligible for AQHA registration

a  thourobred. I know this to be a fact because I have a registered paint gelding. In his backgroun ther is an appendix bred quarterhorse.

Answer 12

The second poster was fairly correct in their answer.

Appendix is short for Appendix Quarter Horse.  This term is applied to a horse created from breeding a registered Quarter Horse to a registered Thoroughbred.  The resulting offspring is registered by the American Quarter Horse Association as an "appendix".  That horse can be be bred to a Quarter Horse, and have Appendix offspring.  If the Appendix horse shows in AQHA, and earns its ROM, it gains "full" registry, and then if bred to a QH, the foal is registered as a full Quarter Horse, and not appendix.

But just for the sake of the argument, the easiest answer is:

Appendix = Quarter Horse x Thoroughbred
