favorite breed of horse

[guster girl]

Hey, everyone. I had this posted in pet general and then realized I might get more responses over here. I just read the first post in that "horse trivia" thread! :) So, yeah, I was just looking online at horses, and, was wondering what y'all's favorite breed of horse is. I'm sure if I looked further, I may change my mind, and, keep in mind, for all of you real horse people out there, I'm going simply on looks alone here. :) I'd take any horse I could if given the opportunity. But, for some reason, I love the way Friesians look....here are a couple pics. Hope they turn out...

Arabians. Always have been and always will be. Since I was around 4 years old I have loved Arabians. All of my English lessons were with Arabians- one named Grande and one named Tali. Tali passed away a couple of years ago. :( I am going to an Arabian farm (New Venture Farm) on the 21st to look at an Arabian for sale that I am interested in, his name is CZ Dukati. There is no other breed like an Arabian. I have ridden a lot of different breeds and none measure up to an Arabian. I just LOVE them. They are amazing inside and out.

Here are a couple of pictures of CZ Dukati, the Arab I am going to look @:

I love Arabians too. Friesians are beautiful though. I love how they look.

Although I have an Arabian, Fresians or Andalusions would be my dream horse. Maybe one of each :)

Quarter Horses... BEAUTIFUL!

[guster girl]

Arabians are so beautiful. I think Percherons are gorgeous, too. and, that andalusian is awesome. I really have always liked the bigger horses. But, they are all incredible!

I know nothing about breeds of horses! I think they're all pretty. ^_^

Friesians are very beautiful though. I don't know if I've ever seen a horse like that before.

icelandic without a doubt! I have never even seen one in RL but from what I have seen and read about them I LOVE em! :D

[dukedogsmom]

Forgot to add that last year, at the state fair, I got to see some Fresians in person! They were absolutely gorgeous! I would love to have one.

[Toller 42]

Icelandics, Arabians, American Saddlebreds, Tennesee walkers and thoroughbreds. My favourite colours are buckskin, black, and all of the paint colours.

I adore Morgans! I think my dream horse would be either a morgan/TB cross or a morgan/QH cross... something to give a bit of height to him.

[Tina]

Paints, Arabians, Quarter Horses(my Babe was one), and Thoroughbreds.

My dream horse is a Paint/Arabian cross.:)

[Toby's my baby]

I love Quarter Horses, I grew up around them and I love riding them. I also like the look of Arabians, but I didnt like riding my horse Bandit's Little Lena (Poco Lena) as much as I liked riding Quarter Horses, so I guess I will stick to Quarter Horses.

Here is a pic of Sweet Snazzy (Sweet), the Quarter Horse that I showed this year when Austin got hurt;

[Desert Arabian]

Wow, I love that coloring! That kinda reminds me of a Percheron! Beautiful, the foal is really cute too! :D

[flamepony12]

Since i have a welsh pony, (Merlin - he's in my Sig)
they are probably my favorite breed.

The link I posted doesn't work now. Luckily, I found that pic yesterday at work. I had to search for about an hour on that huge site and finally found it. I'm so glad I have a good memory. It's the mama on the left

I have never seen a horse with these colorings and would love to have one just like it. It's part paint and some kind of draft or percheron.

[molucass]

I adore Paints....

My uncle breeds them, and I got to name one of his newest foals, and he said once shes old enough and etc.,, I could come over and ride her any time I wanted to, and she could be considered mine. I named her Moonlight River, and we call her River for short.

She's a black and white overo paint filly.

[Sweet Sixy]

I LOVE Palominos! They always have been and always will be my favorite. I leased a horse named Corky De Leo then I bought my horse Sunrise Dreamer. They were both palominos. They have to be quarter horse Palominos though. And yes, they Palomino is a breed now not just a color.
http://www.imh.org/imh/bw/palomino.html

My horse was out of the Hollywood Gold lines and I think I will forever have horses from that line. I am just very drawn to that rich golden color and the snow white manes and tails of Palominos. :D

[Vermontcat]

I love Palominos and Quarter Horses, Morgans and Paint Horses too.

Here is my daughter getting on Sunny the Palomino QH for her riding lesson.

Here is a gorgeous 2 year old Paint horse at a nearby stable.

[Holly's mom]

I LOVE Arabian horses!! I have mentioned this before in another thread, I had a horse way back in high school, almost 30 years ago!:eek: Well actually, I got my first horse in 7th grade, she was part Arabian and part Welsh pony. Her name was Daisy. I had her about 2 years, I sold her and got a registered 1/2 Arabian and 1/2 American Saddlebred. Her name was Tobin Lige, Toby for short and was actually descended from the famous Kellogg Arabians. I also had a friend at that time who had a registered 1/2 Arabian, 1/2 Tennessee Walker. His registered name was Copanion Fiero South America. He was called Cofisa for short.

Aaaaahhhhhhhh, those were the days!!!:)
