Guess his breed....help please

So for years my friend told me this horse was a certain breed, I do NOT see it. I need your eyes people, your beautiful equine-breed-defining pupils and corneas. What breed or breeds does this horse resemble strongest? List all the possibilities. He's passed away now but I'd love to do a memorial line in his honor one day. It would be super helpful if I got his breed right though...

I know very little about horses but I get a Morgan x Quarter Horse kind of vibe. |

He's stunning!! I also get a Morgan x Quarter Horse vibe as well. Not a 100% but he could also possibly have some arabian in him. |

First pic makes me think Arab. But I agree, I think mostly Quarter Horse x Morgan. |

My first thought was a Morgan cross. He's got good size and some thick legs, so as far as the cross, I'm not sure lol. |

That's what I noticed too Kuwait! I'm terrible at this but with the face and the height I want to think more warmblood-y but then those legs are thiccc |

I was told he was a "Running Quarter Horse" which I suppose is the old term for Appendix Quarter Horse. IDK, he had a funky gait to him too when he trotted but it wasn't smooth it was like riding a jack hammer lol. At one point I felt like he may have been a cross with a heavy boned gaited breed lol. |

We need to get Neke and Overture on here since they're the QH experts in real life! At the very least they can compare to what they're looking for in breeding stock. |

I would say that is, in fact, an Appendix QH. Side information: |
