A couple of prompt question? Please answer?
Any rude or disrespectful answers will be reported. Thanks
1) What are the ideal horse breeds for lessons horses?
I deduce that it all depends on the horse, but certain horse breeds are typically more easy going than others.
2) What are the just what the doctor ordered pony breeds for lesson ponies?
Again, it is all individual, but certain breeds are more laid back than others.
Any tips, experiences or stores are greeting!
If u can find a well bred laid back welsh sec D then that would be a righteous one. Appaloosas i believe can be unpredictable as so can arabs, cleveland bays. Percheron's are very heavy horses that are cargo pulling breeds so if ur small and slim then this breed wouldn't suit ur stature. I don't mean to bring freight into it on a personal basis but if u are on the larger side then a devout weight carrier that is not too broad for u would be good. The only thing i would approaching to point out is if u had 100 people contained by a room and they were all British/ American or so on could u guarantee that they would all be capably behaved and not steal/ bully or treat u badly. It is a question i.e. as long as a piece of string. No one can ever guarantee a horse will behave. Breed is irrelevant temperament is the utmost importance. I wish u luck.
Bear within mind that any horse can be high strung, especially whether they are a purebred. For me a Quarter horse or Quarter horse cross tend to be the most level headed. I've also had intensely good luck with Saddlebreds and Standardbreds. Off the track Thoroughbreds have probably be the most trying for me, primarily because of what they go thru on the track. My Morgan was great but could be very herald strong.
Take plenty of time when looking for a lesson horse, evaluate their attitude, level of training, willingness and personality in the past making your final decision. By doing this, you'll end up with a great horse that will abet you learn for many years
Good luck
Forget about which breed - help yourself to each horse on it's merits. Look for a kind disposition and a willingness to please. When you craft your choice, don't pump high energy food into it! Feed according to the work it does.
1. I think quarter horses are totally common for english or western because they're very level-headed. I give attention to thoroughbreds are actually bad as lesson horses, in broad. They're very skittish by nature, and not that sturdily built.
2. I don't have closely of expertise in this area, but I've seen a great deal of welsh and welsh crosses as lesson horses.
1. For Western a Quarter Horse is always fitting. For English I'm not sure, maybe Tennessee Walker and maybe Thoroughbred. But it does depend on the horses physical knack.
2. I have seen mostly Welsh, but a good sturdy pony is other good. But like I said above, it all depends on their physical talent.

1) Most likely thoroughbreds. They are drastically mellow, but sometimes they have a little kick contained by them. I think it's better for the person, because they develop some actual riding skills
2) Welshes mainly, although they hold a lot of sass, because of the arab in them. My trainer had a shetland, and she be as sweet as pie. She was 11.3, so if your looking for tiny and sweet, go near Shetland. If your looking for bigger and sassier, go with Welsh.
Answers: 1) Quarter horses are generally extremely laid back and they get down to commerce when asked to...I would say either a pure QH or a QH cross would make a great lesson horse--thats what I other rode when I took group lessons years ago...or a Draft Cross...they are like gentle giant...but it totally depends what level you want the horse for and the discipline as well...
2) Welsh ponies, Quarter-ponies and POAs are generally the more prepared of the pony world...I think this is probably because they are large enough that a small mature or experienced teen rider could ride them and train them unlike Shetlands and other small ponies who are just too small and generally get trained by younger children...
