What IS a Warmblood??

I see these kinds of ads a lot. I can't find the article I read several years ago that said there has to be at least 5 generations of recognized Warmblood Sporthorses to be considered a true Warmblood, not a warmblood. I thought it was the Elk Run Farm site but it's not. Might be gone by now but it was the best article I've ever read about this subject.

If you only cross a hot blood (TB, Arabian) with a cold blood (Draft), you only have a Crossbred or a Xbred. There is quite a lot of misunderstanding on this. Someone has to dig for info for this. Hope maybe this helps to clarify!
