Draft is obviously in this horse. Look at that small pig eye and big lips! Also has his pin bone sticking out a mile and his ilium up high on top of the short cannon bones. Not a Spanish horse that is for sure! Modern wedge shaped head. Certainly looks like a Mustang!

I'm going to have to guess kiger on this one, even though he doesn't have to many of the kiger features. This horse looks very young so i'm guessing he really hasn't grown into his body yet either, which could make it harder to guess the breed.

I would say definitely mustang, but I wouldn't think kiger. I am assuming its a young horse and needs more maturing. The face doesn't remind me of a kiger's and wish it had a better neck and withers. The neck on the bottom side looks more muscled than the top. It needs to build up a better top line, which could come with age and training. Could be a kiger cross, but I am not sure with what.

1/2Kiger and 1/2 mustang. Definetly a Kiger tail, no Draft in this horse.

Mustang/QH would be my guess. Just doesn't have the Kiger eye.

Mystickiger's guess it pretty much spot on. Zinga was another big gelding born on the my farm, but not draft. His dam was my warm springs Mustang and his sire was a dun Paint. Though both his parents were under 15 hds he reached over 16 hds at 3 yrs old. I have lost track of him as I sold him soon after this last picture, then the new owner gave him to friend after he had an accident and was unable to ride, but I know Zinga has surely filled out by now, as well.  |

What I meant by draft is that he has that influence. Hard to spot in this guy if you are unfamiliar with what to look for, but he does have some subtle draft traits. The most obvious would be his very small eye.
Interesting that his daddy is a paint, but he came out solid!
