Which horse breed for my first?
hi my ciarra and im planning on getting a horse for the first time and i waswonderingg which breed would be good for me?idon'tt want a big horse
Haha, Paint isn't a breed, what the Indians rode were mustangs. Wild horses. But perhaps her paint horse was a quarter horse? My first be. He was just lovely. :)
dont go by breed!! though there are common characteristics within breeds each horse is different. Also the history of the horse comes into play. Unless your planning on going to a breeding farm that only breeds that specific breed afterwards i would just start lining up trial rides with ancestors to see which horse you get along with best. But if you really want a breed to look for quarter horses are set for being steady well mannered horses.
when you look for a horse, its hard to look by the breed. try whatever horse looks worthy in advertisements and references, and don't verbs about what breed it is. Its not like you can just shift pick out a horse and choose the breed. As long as its a good horse, don't worry what breed it is.
i believe that the best horse to get for your first horse is a Brumby or a Mustang.
it went through 2 horses formerly my brumby and within 6 months i went from a complete pupil and lost my confidence to very confident rider, jumping and eventing e.t.c
the trick is to find one that has have a good start with humans as this is what determins their nature. theyre undemanding to maintain and if you find the right one (easy) then you'll hold a bombproof pall for life!
i LOVE morgans. they largely are level headed, small, well built, and enjoy a good temperment. but honestly i wouldnt go by breed, but by its training. just look around locally, try out a bunch of different ones and see how it go from there.
I am a personal fan of quarter horses, and mustangs. I grew up next to quarter horses. I recently became acquainted with mustangs while working at a pack outfit. It seem to me that mustangs are very sure footed, I had a individual mustang that I rode and I never felt like she was going to do something silly like slip off the trail because a fly was within her face. By the way, the trails in my nouns are scary, steep, and rocky (Eastern Sierra Nevada) so being able to utter that I felt safe means deeply. Now you definitely need a horse that has already be trained. When you look for a horse, find out what the owner used the horse for. What do you plan to do with your horse? Make sure the horse's previous events will somewhat match his/her future activities beside you. This way your horse will not be too confused with the transition, they are creatures of habit. For example, whether the horse was used for a roping horse and his job was to bolt out of a box, he will not fashion a good trail horse. The pack outfit had a horse that would try to bolt every time you touched your hat, or raise your arm in any way, he was a roping horse. My boss would buy any horse at the right price, which be educational for us. Another piece of advice before I sign stale, you may want to get a gelding, mares can be feisty. Do not rescue a race horse or buy an Arabian. No offense to the endurance riders out at hand, but Arabians are too energetic for a first time horse owner. Think cool calm and collected. Good Luck :)
Quarter Horses are great all around horses and suceed in many disciplines. They also own great tempermants and can be any where from 14.3 to 16 hands
paint. That was my first horse and she was super gentle and not too big for me. That used to be the primary horse for indians backbone in the day because they were speedy and they were small enough to jump on bare-back. wow, but some more useless information I'm not even sure how I knew... lol. Hope it helped!
Haflingers are great horses!
they are the perfect size for an fully fledged or kids!
i have one and his personality is awesome along with alot of haflingers I own met! they are gentle and soo cute ^-^

they also enjoy very hard feet which require no shoes what so ever! so thats smaller quantity money to spend! look them up on google and see if you like them?
i know as soon as i saw my guy it was love at first verbs!
bvut... which ever horse you get ENJOY it! and have fun with it and afford it TL&C
:)
go with a resourcefully broke, gentle in the face quarter horse that is to say calm and nice to be around. make sure you ride him/her first back you buy to make sure he/she is just right for your riding aptitude.
For your first horse you entail a gelding, 8-17yrs & bomb proof/family/kid safe. The training is the MOST important thing for your first horse! Then the breed!! You want a horse that will not hurt you because he is not trained!! Training horses is firm & takes a lot of time. Have a vet check it out, always, to brand sure there is nothing wrong beside what you can't see. Always have a experienced person go near you to pick out horses. If you don't want anything big go for a horse that is 12hands high to 15 hand high.
you from england or america?
if america psyche say quarter horse.
england id say the safe and sound and reliable cob. bout 14.2hh. safe and steady but ample umph when needed.

Answers: Breed really doesn't matter. You want to find a horse that fits your level of knowhow. If you're a beginner, get an older horse (older than10) that have been ridden for years. There are great horses and ponies everywhere, you just have to look former the outer shell (oh he looks sooooo pretty, I want that one) and get one that suits your personality and riding ability.
The best warning I give anyone who is a beginner is to NEVER get a green broke or unbroke horse thinking that you'll cram together. Too many horses and people get hurt when that happen.
if you dont want a big horse next get a quarter horse.
