Types of horses

my favourites have always been Friesians. they're just so magnificent and striking. we had an Arab at one point, and he had so much character. a really fun little horse.

I think my favorite would have to be arabians. That's what kind of horse I have and I love him.

I like quarter horses too. I think thoroughbreds and arabians are just beautiful. I pretty much like any horse though. We have several quarter horses that we own.

Irish Sports Horse and Welsh. Once I had an Irish Sports gelding, 16 hand 3, lovely to ride and jump. Most hunter types are good I find all the best urban

I've had a Danish sports horse, a Hannoveranian (sp?), a Swedish sports horse and now I have a Oldenburger, one bred for driving, not riding, but I use it as riding horse. Sports horse because they're a mix of a lot of different breeds :-) Mainly bred for jumping, but the Swedish one didn't really have the heart for it. He looked the part, very pretty, but was afraid of butterflies. I don't like jumping though, so it didn't mather that much. The Oldenburger I have now isn't really made for jumping either. He's quite old, poor chap :-/ I think my next horse will be a "little" yellow one, a Norwegian fjord. 'Cause they're cute and stubborn :-)

my favorite breed would have to be paint horses.. i don't know what it is about them but i just love them... and yes i have owned a few in my life... my next favorites would have to be quarter, thoroughbred, rocky mountain, and a few others..

Hello Dear Carolscash! I love the Thoroughbreds as I have been associated with them now more than 20 years! I don't own any of these horses or even don't have any plan to own them as I know how fussy these animals are! Surprised? I am a Resident Stud farm Vet. working for one of the reputed Stud farm of our country where we are breeding the Thoroughbreds exclusively for the purpose of racing! Presently I am looking after about 350 Thoroughbreds including the stallions,brood mares, yearlings, weanlings and the foals! I have got an assistant with me to help me out! Breeding the Thoroughbreds and upbringing the foals to the stage of 2 year old when well sell them to clients is a big challenging job and though some times I feel bit frustrated I thoroughly enjoy my job! These horses are my family and I am surrounded by them as I am staying on the farm with my wife and a grown up son who is an Engineer by profession! Thanks for the discussion! I liked participating in it!

I have never owned any of these horses. I had a neighbor once who owned three of them. I am not sure what kind they were though.

I've never owned a horse, but I've ridden a lot. I guess it kind of is like, the kind of horse you like has something to do with what you want to do with the horse. I rode English and did a little jumping, quarter horses mostly aren't built for jumping, oh, they can jump, but aren't built for higher jumps... Since I have LOUSY timing, and maybe did a dozen jumps exactly right out of hundreds of jumps, and the highest I ever jumped was about 3 feet, a quarter horse, who was trained to jump could handle it. If I rode western and did cutting or barrel racing, I probably wouldn't want a big racing Thoroughbred or a Hanoverian. Because of my health, I haven't ridden for many years, and probably won't again, but when I did, because I was rather small (then) I was generally put on large ponies. Actually, I rode well enough to not damage a horse, and well enough to help retrain a horse out of bad habits, but I just lacked the timing needed to be a good jumper.

I have always wanted to ride a Tennessee Walking horse. I like the ones on the Budweiser commercials too but I can't remember what breed they are. I have rode Quarter horses before..they are very easy going. I like them too. My friend had a Mustang but she was abused before my friend got her and was very hard to handle...no way I was riding her. I wasn't experienced enough for that...maybe it was bravery I was lacking..lol.

I had a friend high school that was an avid lover of horses. everything in her bedroom had a horse theme. she knew every breed by heart. i always liked mustrangs because they always seemed to be so wild and free. The untamed beauty of a horse can not compare with anything else.
