Whats your favorite kind of horse and why?

Question

Im just wondering what kind of horse is your favorite and why. I soon want to get a horse and I have lots of exp.

Answer 1

all breeds are good but my favorite would have to be the arabian becuase they are very pretty they have lots of speed and they can have many disiplines

Answer 2

Andalusians - beauty, and grace they are just stunning i want one! haha

paints - can do anything from english, to western, to trails, they can be gaited, make good show and family horses...They come in EVERY shape and size! and every color!  name one thing a paint can't do?!

haflingers - a "dog" in a horses body

Thoroughbreds's - they are one of the most un-understood breeds! i feel for them

Poa's or appy's - so adorable and have the cutest coloring



Quarter Horse's - you just gotta have  a good ole QH behind your back or you got nothing!

Answer 3

Quarters

Paints

Appy's

Nothing works a cow better than these breeds. And, competing in cutting,reining, working cowhorse, and roping. I realy don't think there is a better animal out there for working cattle.

Answer 4

well i LOVE Irish Draughts because i like big drafty looking heads , but don't really like the huge hooves

but i sort of agree with riding with reins... i have recently fallen in love with a fjord and an appy... so breed doesn't totally matter

Answer 5

I have a lot of favs but ny top three are the Quarter horse, The Mustang, and the Thoroughbred, they are all good breeds but the best is the QH cuz it's inteligent fast durable and more. The mustang I like cuz it has a alot of history behind it and it has almost all the same quatities of the QH and the TB cuz it's fast smart beautiful and more but you probly have your own opinion about all those breeds.

Hope that helps

Answer 6

I really like Appaloosas because of their beautiful pattern but, when buying a horse it dosen't matter, you have to determine health issues and its personality. i also like Paints, Shetland Ponies, Arabians, and Clydesdale(even though i could never own one, too big)

Answer 7

Thourobreed

Answer 8

Breeds dont really matter much to me but I have a few favorites.

Im big on the color of their coat and the height on the horse.

I most like Chincoteague Ponies (adorable in pinto)

Thoroughbreds (I like the bay ones) and I also like Quarter Horses in any color. :D

Ive heard Missouri Fox Trotters have nice gaits. Like, their born with talent. :)

Answer 9

Quarter Horses to me are the best horses. My horse is a Quarter horase and he is the most loyal horse I have been around. He has a great personality. and it sometimes funny,lol. All of the Quarter horses that I have been around are very intelligent. They are quick learners and very loyal to everyone. Great with kids to. They can do anything. My horse Does contesting,halter,jumping,trail riding,and anything else I want him to do. = )

Answer 10

Definitely a Tennessee Walker!! - If you are experienced then you need to at least give a TW a chance -  If you know anyone who has one and knows how to ride them then please experience it.  

I grew up on quarter horses and would never go back to one - granted they are great but TW are so smooth....and a wonderful animal. check out walkersforsale.com

Answer 11

Appaloosa Mustang. (Appy color from Mustang Registry)

Without the Spanish Colonial horse, there'd be NO QH, and therefore NO Paints.

And a Paint can't out pull a Mule.

Answer 12

I love Quarter horses. They are extremely versatile, calm, beautiful, sweet, and perfectly sized! Not to mention that since the horse market is flooded with QHs, you can get a nice one for not that much $.

Answer 13

To me, the breed doesn't matter. I would choose a horse on its health, personality, and probably conformation. All horses are different, and have a different personality.

But if were talking about which breed is my favorite look-wise, I think I would have to say Appaloosas because they are gorgeous, and I love the patterns on their coats.

Good luck with your new horse

Answer 14

Appaloosa-their personality and looks they also come in gaited

Answer 15

I've got many as well.

Quarter Horse

Frisian

Mustang

Appy's

Thoroughbred

Paints

Shire

Clydesdale

Answer 16

The Quarter Horse is a beautiful and intelligent breed like any other, but it is known for its durability and strong build. Also they are very trainable. Most Quarter Horses have a good disposition (attitude) and can compete well in both Western and the English events although they are most common amoung the Western riding. The breed also has many color variaties. :) Another plus is the price range is suitable for most any budget.

Answer 17

II have spent a lifetime with Morgan horses and would not choose any other breed. For me it is their outgoing personalities, their strength, their strong go forward work ethics, and of course their beauty.

There are many "types" of Morgans but all are Morgans and all deserve the same respect.... Do your homework and figure out if the "Working Western" or "Government" or "Show" type Morgan is for you....

I do not think that Morgans are for everyone as many times they can out think their riders but for someone looking for a bright, forward, lifetime partner who will go anywhere and do anything just to please... this is the breed for you....

Answer 18

friesian, because ever since the first time i've seen them. . . just cause to me they're as close to perfect and have been around for a long time.

next would be arabs, arab crosses, qh/tb, qh crosses. i prefer cross breed horses (except friesians.)

Answer 19

Quarter Horse or

Morgan (Those to are tied).

Answer 20

i dont care as long as the horse doesnt misbehave and has smooth gaits. but my fav would hav 2 b the clydesdale or shire i luv how theyre so big

Answer 21

To me the breed doesn't matter so much as:

What the horse looks like

How the horse acts

Health

Why the owner is selling the horse

etc......

I currently have a Quarter Horse gelding, whom I adore! I would suggest Quarter Horses because they are good for any age group/level of riding, they can do anything from trail-riding to jumping, they are very pretty :D , and they are good steady mounts. Happy shopping!

Answer 22

I love draft anything, the bigger the better

Frisians

Paints

Quarter Horses

Arabs
