I think its often more about the particular horse than its breed. Certain breeds are known for particular disciplines or traits, but every breed has one that is completely against the stereotype. For example Arabs are known to be flighty and high strung often, but some are very level-headed and bomb proof. There are also lots of cross breeds out there which may give you the look of one breed, but the temperament of another. If you get an idea of the amount you have to spend on the purchase price, and what you want to do with your new horse you can then look through the horses that match and start sorting based on personality and color. You might just be surprised to find the "perfect" horse wasn't at all what you envisioned.
