I've been looking for horses for a while and i just want to get some other peoples opinions on what is a good type of breed for me. i can walk trot canter jump and i like going on trail rides. i like the look of the haflingers but i dont think their really for jumping.

Answer 1

quarter horses!!!

Answer 2

If you want an all around good horse, get a quarter horse. they can be trained for almost anything and very nice attitudes. (mostly)  I have a thoroughbred and a quarter horse... For your first horse DON'T get a thoroughbred until you are experienced. But my QH is a SWEETHEART! he is the sweetest horse you can imagine... i know alot of qh's like that... so i would reccomment a quarter horse.! Godbless!

Answer 3

A well broken quarter horse

Answer 4

its not the breed that matters. but if you want my opinion...

arabian

quarter horse

thoroughbred

all work for what you want, just have to get the horse thats trained for what you want.

and haflingers can jump.. you just gotta get one that is trained to jump

Answer 5

Answer 10

A mixed thoroughbred will do great. I have one and he is the greatest. Really good at jumping and a great trail horse. Or you could get a quarter horse there great to. Over all though it doesn't matter what breed of horse you get, its the way the horse has been or is going to be trained.

Answer 11

i would say a thourghbred cross, they are good for what you want.

Answer 12

probally an older, wiser quarter horse, if you are not jumping over 3ft

Answer 13

i agree with many people.

quarter horses are a good size

they can do lots of things

best of luck!

P.S. are you looking for one

on a website?

Answer 14

i would recommend a QH.I have a 12 year old 16hh bay QH gelding and he is wonderful.i ride english pleasure,jumping,and some dressage w/ him.hes high strung and only for an experienced rider but hes sweet and you can very easily find 1 thats not as spirited as mine.they make great all around horses.i would also recommend u get a horse thats 7 years or older,that way theyre calmer and have more experience.theyre just easier and more enjoyable to ride.good luck!

Answer 15

haflingers can jump to some extent, if your not doing big stuff.

If you are small enough, a welsh cross pony or horse would be awesome.

If not probably a QH or TB depending on what you are giong to be doing and what your price range is.

Answer 16

I think you really should go with a quarter or thoroughbred. They are great endurance horses and they are able to do all your agility type things.

Answer 17

Spotted saddle horse.

Answer 18

I would recommend a Quarter horse. If you like the look of Halflingers you could get a Palomino. Oh and Halflingers can actually jump pretty well. I used to ride a Belgian Draft. I got her to jump around 3 feet before I had to leave the barn.

Answer 19

Quarter horses are great

or a Tb cross warmblood.

Answer 20

a Quarter horse would be best.  They are a great all around horse, or even a Quarter horse mixed with something else would be great.  It doesn't always depend on the breed, sometimes you can find a completely random breed that can do it all.  It mostly depends on your skill level, the horses skill level and temperament.  Thoroughbreds are another great breed and Arbas can do alot to, but they tend to be more high strung.  If you want something like an Arab, try a Morab (is that an actual breed now?  I have been out of the horses for so long I don't even know).  I am not a big fan of Morgans because they tend to be hard headed (though absolutely beautiful), but a morab is the right combo and are very pretty horses.  Try some sort of appy (again, not a huge fan).  I had a TB/appy cross when I was a kid and he did anything you asked and he was the best.

I had a kid I used to give lessons to who used a draft horse for jumping, I kid you not.  granted it was super low stuff and she only used him while she was learning, but this was another horse that did everything.

Answer 21

TB's. Most any horses.

Answer 22
