20 breeds.
One care guide each.

Highly intelligent, spirited, and people-oriented. Arabians form strong bonds with handlers and are known for stamina and sensitivity. They respond best to calm, consistent training rather than force.

Hot-blooded, athletic, and bold. Thoroughbreds are forward-thinking and quick to learn but can be reactive — they reward confident, tactful riders. Off-track Thoroughbreds (OTTBs) often need a year of decompression before second careers.

Calm, willing, and quick-witted. Quarter Horses are famous for their 'cow sense' and explosive sprint speed over short distances. They are forgiving mounts and the most popular breed in the world.

Gentle, willing, and people-oriented despite their dramatic appearance. Friesians are baroque-type horses with calm dispositions, though they can be sensitive and energetic under saddle. They mature slowly — work should be light until age 4.

Noble, sensitive, and highly trainable. Andalusians excel at collected work and have natural cadence and presence. Affectionate and people-bonded, they thrive with consistent partnership.

Friendly, hardy, and self-assured. Icelandics are unique for their five gaits (walk, trot, canter, tölt, flying pace). They are independent thinkers with strong personalities — never call one a pony.

Versatile, intelligent, and tough. Appaloosas are level-headed working horses with good cow sense and endurance. They form deep bonds and can be one-person horses.

Gentle, willing, and famously docile despite their size. Clydesdales are 'gentle giants' with calm nerves and a strong work ethic. They bond closely with handlers and tolerate novice riders well.

Calm, patient, and exceptionally gentle. Shires are the tallest horse breed and among the strongest. They are slow to anger, easy to handle, and well-suited to novice owners with the space.

Hardy, intelligent, and self-reliant. Mustangs adopted from BLM rounds-ups need patient gentling — once bonded, they become loyal partners. They are surefooted and naturally cautious from generations of survival.

Friendly, willing, and quick to learn. Paints share much of the Quarter Horse's calm disposition with the addition of striking color. They make excellent family and ranch horses.

Bold, eager, and people-loving. Morgans are 'the horse that does it all' — versatile, strong for their size, and famously affectionate. They want to be involved with their humans and dislike being left alone.

Calm, kind, and famous for a smooth four-beat 'running walk.' Tennessee Walkers are bred for comfort and disposition — they make exceptional trail and pleasure mounts and are well-suited to riders with back or joint issues.

Cheerful, willing, and steady. Haflingers are 'a noble head with the body of a draft' — small but powerful, with excellent dispositions. They are popular for therapy programs and family use.

Intelligent, willing, and slow to mature. Lipizzans are bred for classical dressage and 'airs above the ground.' They form deep partnerships with riders and tolerate complex training.

Sensitive, loyal, and one-person oriented. Akhal-Tekes bond intensely with a single handler and can be aloof with strangers. They are bold, intelligent, and require gentle, consistent training.

Brave, intelligent, and athletic. Connemaras are renowned jumping ponies with the temperament of a saint and the scope of a horse. They suit ambitious junior riders and small adults equally.

Bold, willing, and intelligent. Welsh ponies and cobs are versatile and famously hardy. Section A (mountain pony) is a classic first pony; Section D (Welsh Cob) is powerful enough for adult riders.

Smart, opinionated, and astonishingly strong for size. Shetlands are independent thinkers with strong personalities — charming when handled well, terrors when spoiled. They are pound-for-pound the strongest equine.

Calm, intelligent, and willing. Percherons are draft horses with notable elegance and athleticism — they cross well with light breeds for sport horse production. Easy to handle and forgiving.
