Favorite Breed of Horse

[ShortTail]

What is your favorite breed of horse? And why?

For me, it would have to be the Appaloosa. I just like the spotted skin somewhat like a leopard.

I really like Mustangs. The spirit they have and their tie with freedom and wildness is over-romanticized but still very true. They are such hardy beautiful creatures and they come ins such pretty colors as a result of their breeding.

In Romania we have a breed called Lipitan (big white horses). Absolutely nice looking. I also like those huge mountain horses, they are just great. And, since it would be hard for me to find a breed I like the most, I come and "crowd" my list with the famous Arabian horses. So beautiful

My favorite is the paint. I love the markings and the personality. I have always had an affinity for arabians too, mostly because of the black stallion books though. For the family though, I like a morgan. They're a little smaller, which is good for a short person like me.

I'd love to spend some time with Morgan horses one day. They're so versatile and have a fantastic reputation for their intelligence, longetivity and abilities.

The breed of horse that I dreamed of riding when I was a kid was Palominos. I have no idea where this got into my head. I don't even remember where I first saw. Might've been in a book I read. I just thought they were beautiful.

My favorite breed is the morgan. I'm not to big myself and having a smaller horse is comforting. Also, they are known as the little horse that could. Their spirit more than makes up for their lack of size.

I do like Haflinger's like the post I just read before this one, and I have seen some Lipitan's but really hard to find decent information out there on them so anything you can help with would be great as thats the reason I am up late now trying to gather breed types for a report I am working on.

I don't know if it's because that's the breed I grew up with or just because I like them but morgans have always been my favorite. Every one we've had through the years has been so smart - some were almost like people, I swear.

I love the Appaloosa. Each horse has a unique coat pattern. Altough they all have the leopard-spotting, each pattern is different and there are several different color combinations. I find them to be very intelligent and trustworthy. They are my favorite trail horse.

I am a huge sucker for the wild Mustangs but I also like just about any wild pony out there. I guess I see in them what I am not sometimes.

I have to say I adore a nice Belgian. I know they are big butted drafts, but they are so pretty with all their blond hair and so gentle and sweet. And you never know when you might have a use for a horse you can ride that can pull things.

I have always been sort of an admirer from afar of the Azteca horses. I just think they look so tall and elegant and are the most beautiful horses.
