I have a quarter horse but he might have draft in him. He's really blocky. His markings are exactly like the Budweiser Clydesdales. Even has 4 white socks.

Short for Budweiser.
You have a Percheron'!
Once again, I was guilty of "shooting from the hip". I know that "Clydesdales" and "Percherons" are both "draft" horses but my experience is entirely with saddle horses. I've never had the opportunity to ride what I would consider to be a "real" quarter horse (though I've seen them perform in rodeos). I envy you your chance.
Seems to me that it takes a bit more that four white socks to qualify as a Clydesdale..
For those of us from the city who only see horses on carousels:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percheron
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clydesdale_(breed)
One seems to be a draft horse from France and and the other a draft horse from Scotland.

This is the closest match I found on babynamer.com, which says that Alayna is Germanic in origin.
Angelina means "little angel" in languages like Spanish, and the word "angel" (through Latin) from Greek "angelos", meaning "messenger".
I didn't know the name "Aliyana", and I don't know how can it be related to "beautiful girl", given that "beautiful" is "bella", "hermosa", "guapa"..., and "girl" is "chica". Hopefully someone can explain that to me, because my mother tongue is Spanish, I have two books on the meaning of Spanish names which don't even mention that name, which, by the way, doesn't even sound like Spanish to me, but rather something like Sanskrit or Arabic.
In Greek you could come up with something like "oraiangela", from "oraios" (beautiful) and "angela" (female angel), or "oraiangelina", adding a Spanish suffix to make it sound cuter. What you are asking for is too many words, and creating names is not exactly an exact science.
Anyway, since when do angels have daughters? Or is it a certain angel's favourite girl'

Literally, "la niña bella de Angelina." Not sure what this has to do with naming your horse, sorry . . .
