Greetings!!!

It is so fun to see how different people enjoy different breeds!

My favorite is the American Paint horse, more than "QH with color" they are unique and special and offer fantastic dispositions.

Cheers!

We had Show Horses for years till we discovered MULES, then we really hit GOLD when we raised some Saddle Donkeys. Check us out on:

My favorites are the drafts. Especially the shires. Hope to have one before I die!!

Andalusians.

I breed them and they are absolutely amazing horses to ride and work with.

My stallion is absolutely brilliant, he hasn't put a foot wrong and he certainly is a people horse.

I can't really describe it, their just a breath-taking breed and a joy to work with.

My favorite are Bashkir Curlies, all the way second would have to be Morgans, third, Quarters

My favorite breed would have to be Morgans but my morgan as a child must have been diffent than those I see today.

She was much thicker in the neck, big bold neck and huge, looked more like a draft.

Then I would just go with a good old fashioned quarter horse and then a welsh.

Yes, the new show stock is definitely different from the original working stock Morgan horse.

I still find those thick stocky little Morgans every now and again. Had 2 rescues, one was the show-type stock. Slender, delicate looking. The other was completely the opposite. Broad hindquarters and deep chest. Very thick boned, huge cresty neck, big feet and head. At the same time very close coupled build.

I don't really have just one favorite breed.....so I reckon my favorite breeds would be Morgans,Paints,QHs, and Andalusians,and TWH's.

I like the big broad shouldered,thick necked Morgans like the one AQHBreeder used to have,he was a great horse,and he was funny to!

Yeah he was a goofball! I wish I had some more pictures of him. They were on the old computer that crashed...

I have definitely noticed the difference in modern morgans. Jack's mama was the big "drafty" type. Huge neck, chest, and booty! I would love to have another Maggie, I have quite a fondness for big, powerful horses.

My favorite breed is the Hanoverian.

American Saddlebreds really take my breath away and they are so much fun to ride.they keep you busy.
i own walking horses but i quess oher than those two breeds then i would have to say that friesians are prolly the next fav.my neighbor cross breds them.they have this beautiful.sweet stud.

This is exactly the stigma I am working against. I like to correct it by stating that this breed needs a small daily workout. And I'm not referring to just running them or lungeing them for hours, cause these horses are physically like Energizer Bunnies. They need more than just physical.

A thoroughbred needs a thinking project. Believe it or not, they need to be mentally worked out. One example is doing a simple stop and back up exercise at a walk; it actually does more for the breed than just making them run. In fact, I have witnessed that when they are thinking about what they are doing, it can actually exhaust a horse and tire them out! And then it seems like a content calmness falls over them. See, running is so natural to them, it doesn't even phase them. But by getting in tune with their minds, and making them think, is the key to making them just as calm as your ole bombproof quarter horse. They have so much pent up mental energy and they need to expend it, or it's like they get restless and irritable. Physical exercise is often mistaken as the only way to deal with Thoroughbreds, and that is not enough. One does not tap into their minds with that alone.

Clinton Anderson, actually, has done wonders for the misconception of Thoroughbreds. His techniques absolutely can make an OTTB into a calm, all around family horse, yet with all the athleticism and heart to still excel in any discipline you want!

So anyway, I must note that my heart has been captured by Thoroughbreds. I have had various other breeds, from Welsh ponies to National Show Horses. But the heart of a Thoroughbred is something I find spectacular.

American Saddlebreds they r so gorgeous and elegant they have animated gaits and ull never get bored riding them they give u a challenge ad will let you no if they disagree with you!! lol they trot high and pretty and they have gorgeous head sets i show them and they can get rly cranked up and when they get rly cranked up its so much fun they r always full of energy and love to be talked to! they r my favorite breed and so much fun to show and ride
