  1. The Quarter horse is faster in shorter distances. The thoroughbred is faster in longer distances.  The Arabian is a beautiful horse but I prefer the Thoroughbred.


  2. are you the same guy who asked the question can you give me the basics... Cause if you are, you aren't ready to buy a horse... It takes several months, even years of riding to be experienced enough to buy a horse. Think this through and research before you decide to buy one. it isn't as easy as it looks!

  3. mustang

  4. You'll get many different answers on this because much of this is a matter of opinion. Thoroughbreds have been bred for generations for speed at the gallop, the fastest gait. Thoroughbreds are generally considered the fastest horses and can run at speeds of 40 miles and hour. Quarter Horses were bred for working livestock as well as speed at short sprinting distances of 1/4 mile. Quarter Horse people will likely argue that at short sprints their horses are fastest. Standardbreds were bred for speed also but at the trot or pace which is simply not as fast as a gallop. Morgans and Arabs have not been bred for speed, per se (the Arabs a long time ago when the sheiks raced them but not so much now). So, Arabs and Morgans would not be as fast as a Thoroughbred. Are you planning on racing a horse? Unless you are, you don't need a fast horse.

    Beauty is so much a matter of personal taste that everyone will tell you something different. Arabs have lovely heads with dished muzzles and a high tail carriage so many will say they are the most beautiful. But Morgans are pretty, too, and Saddlebreds can have wonderful flashy gaits.

  5. It depends on the distance.

    Quarter horses are faster for 1/4 of a mile. Hence the name Quarter horse.

    Thoroughbreds are faster at the middle distances.

    Arabs have amazing endurance and excel and long distance runs.

  6. Well everyone is going to have a different opinion, because everyone likes something different.

    Typically, people think Thoroughbred when looking for speed. That or the Standardbred as they are the world's "race horses".

    For beauty, the Arabian is considered the most purest of all breeds.

    You could try and Anglo-Arab, for a mixture of speed and endurance.

    But, thats just my opinion.
