If you are looking for an easy-going, friendly equine partner, then a Quarter Horse is your perfect ride.

Thoroughbreds are very popular in English and Racing disciplines. They are athletic, energetic, spirited horses with a knack for catching the judge's eye.  
These horses are famously known for their place at the race track, but also can be found competing in English disciplines. They normally have shiny, solid coats.  
If you are ready for an athletic, competitive (and sometimes silly) companion, then a Thoroughbred is right up your alley.

Easily one of the most recognizable horses in the world, Arabians are a breed of horse that have huge personalities.  
Arabians are strong, fast horses that originated on the Arabian Peninsula. They are used in all kinds of disciplines, often favored as pleasure and trail horses. They are celebrated as one of the most beautiful breeds in the world, with a slim nose and a high-carried tail.
