Warmblood (or a chance of Sport Pony, if parents are on the smaller side).

So each horse can throw a range of bone types based on that horse's bone types. Since the Riding horse's genes would skew to the light bone, and the draft horse's genes would skew to the heavy, odds are, the resulting foal would be mid-range, which is classified as warm blood. It is possible to get a warmblood from two drafts (if both throw at the lower end of the height range they can throw) or from two riding horses (if they both throw at the higher end*. Breeding a warmblood to a riding horse is most likely to result in either a riding horse or a warmblood.

When you ask about the genes of the draft in a riding horse, what exactly do you mean?
