The answer to this depends on where the movies were made. Many of the "Spaghetti Westerns" have horses that have a distinctive Spanish appearance but most do not appear to be purebreds.
Films made in the US use horses that are generally of the stock type although some appear to have
the more slender build typical of TBs and TB/quarter horse crosses.
The horse Clint Eastwood rode in Pale Rider was an American Quarter Horse that was trained by Spud Proctor, who was an outrider on the Southern California horse racing circuit at the time (1980 or 1981). He used the horse in the mornings while he was outriding at Pomona racetrack (now Fairplex). The horse was trained for racing at Los Alamitos, although I can't remember if he started or not. Spud told me he sold the horse to Eastwood after the movie was completed.
It looks to me like a Quarter Horse Arab x and I think it's the same horse he rode in Pale Rider.
The horse Clint rode in High Plains Drifter was a Missouri Foxtrotter.
It is a beautiful animal, probably an Apoloosa a breed created, I think, by the Nez Pierce Indians
I have no idea. I was wondering that myself. I have a mare that looks just like the one he rode. I named her "R8", sounds like "Rate", as in Revelations 6:8 (along came a pale horse....)
I just watched the movie. Based on the horse’s body structure and head profile, my educated guess is American Saddlebred with uncut tail.

No he wasn't, he was actually the stranger (Clint Eastwood).
