Hello Everyone!
Over the years, I have encountered and been around many
different breeds and sizes of horses. Breeds have their own characteristics. Like
the way they ride, their temperament, and how they need to look in the show
ring. Everyone has his or her favorites, including me. I have my top three
breeds, which are Quarter Horse, Paint Horse and Appaloosa. I will explain a
little bit about each.
1. Quarter Horses are probably my number one favorites by far. I have owned two of this breed and I would get another one in a heartbeat. They come in mostly solid colors, except for a little coloring on their faces and legs. They are very smart and agile. They have the speed to do barrels and other speed events. They are great for ranch work, showing in various classes, and family trail rides. They really can be ridden in so many ways and with enough time, they can be the best partners.
2. Paint Horses are very similar to Quarter Horses in their
build, temperament, and coloring. Unlike Quarter Horses, Paints can come in color patterns other than solids. They can
have patterns that are similar to some cows, so part of the horse could be white
and other parts could be black, and this combination can come in several
colors. They have an easygoing temperament and are good for anyone and for most
disciplines.
3. Appaloosas are by far the most colorful of the three that
I am mentioning. They usually have a blanket of white over their rump that has
the same color spots as the rest of their body. They are also sometimes covered
in spots all over their body. They have a more spirited temperament than some
other breeds, but after the trust is build, they can be calm companions.
