for a draft he is very nice, sorry dont like drafts all that much for anything other than pulling/ploughing etc.
His markings are awesome and I love his head and neck in the first photo.
What are you breeding to? Or just looking?

He is cute, I love the big guys. I ride my draft cross on trails, they are SOOOOOOOOO good for trail riding cause they are so big and docile and love to explore.

He is very striking. I LOVE his front end, but from this picture am not in love with his hind end. Is he a Shire? TB/Shire cross?

Personally I wouldn't breed him to a Quarab. You're already starting with 2 slightly different body types, and now you'd be adding a fairly different body type in. If he's a TB cross, then you have 4 different types, 1 fairly different.

Wow, I would have never guessed Clyde! Do you have the website for him? I'd love to see if there is a different conformation picture that shows a different stance of his hind end.

JBandRio, in that pic, it looks like he is JUST taking a step forward with his hind leg and swishing his tail at the same time, giving a weird illusion to his hind end.

I would also not be breeding yet another breed into the mix. I am not a fan of what ever people are trying to do with breeding drafts into the equation. I would go with Qh, but if you really dont want to breed either arab or QH, I would go TB, much more like these other breeds than a draft.
