Yup yup give me a quarter horse any day...also not as temperamental as a high strung thoroughbred.

Generalizations.

I've owned several thoroughbreds right off the track. One in particular would have been a perfect beginner/idiot's horse. He was docility personified, and had the heart and soul of a race horse. Another knew nothing but "stand still" and "run," had to be aced like a mf to even get him to think about stepping into a trailer, but could be handled from the ground like a dream.

I've also owned quarterhorses that I'm convinced were schizophrenic. I will never, ever, as long as I live, own another Impressive-bred horse, no matter how much I drool over their physiques.

Horses are just as much individuals as we are.
 
Quarter horses are nearly as inbred, with their own problems. Not all of them are laid back. Not by a LONG shot. They also have a fairly rough ride.

If you're looking for a good, sturdy horse to work with or for long rides, go with a mustang or half mustang. They're small, but sturdy, with (generally) good joints. Because their bone structure differs slightly from most standard breeds, they have a smoother gait, and their muscles attach a touch differently, which helps them avoid injury.

They're iffy, too, though.

I've seen one just decide he was through, stop drinking, and die within three days of dehydration.

Another couldn't stand to be touched.

As I said, they're all individuals.

They're ALL going to be iffy. But speaking in generalisations... they're better than quarters for trails or work.

The absolute best all-around horse I've ever owned was an Arab/Quarter cross.

She had the intelligence, wind and endurance of an Arabian, and the durability and quickness of a Quarterhorse.

You too, huh? The only one I ever admitted to owning was a quarter/arab cross, for those same reasons. Everybody else hated her. She hated them, and would try to take a chunk out of them if I wasn't there to stop her.

But I had raised her from birth. They put her dam down a few minutes after she was born, and was going to do the same with her, but ended up giving her to me instead. She just obeyed Momma.

This one, too. :D

She was horrible, but I rode her to two state finals (barrel racing), and took the 15 and Under all point trophy with her one year.

Are you sure we didn't have the same horse?

Mine's average on the barrels was 14.53

The filly whom ran, Eight Bells, came in second with a good lead on the pack...and on the gallop down after the win, broke both her ankles, and was euthanized on the spot

It must be a hell of a thing, euthanizing horses.

:rose:

ETA - the closest I got to horses was in 4H, they were someone else's horses, but I really loved them. I can still remember crying when I had to quit.

Much appreciated. I actually had looked him up after you mentioned that. Interesting lil background

He was the first horse known to have HYPP (hyperkalemic periodic paralysis), and all horses with this genetic disorder trace directly back to him. It was one of the reasons he had the muscle definition that made him a World Champion.

If you own an Impressive-bred horse now, you have to have them tested, and their genetic status noted on their papers (says one who had to have a filly tested not too long ago...she's a granddaughter of Conclusive/great granddaughter of Impressive).
