Answer 2

Really you can not go by breed when choosing a horse. You never know what breed of horse might be right cause each one is different. But I love morgans (I own one), so I'd recommend morgans to anyone. They are calm, but have get up and go when you need it. They come in any color (alot of people think they only come in bay and chestnut), and are between 14-16hh. They are good for just about every dicipline.
Here is a link to the morgan horse assoc. website www.morganhorse.com
And here are some links to some nice morgan farms

P.S. I alos love my little quarter pony, but that breed is a bit to small for teens/adults.

Answer 3

You need to find a quarter horse or something of the type they are calm and willing, making them a great first horse. Horses are really at their best age at areound 8 to 9.

Answer 4

4-5 year old gelding quarter horses are great..calm, good mannered. i had several growing up and 4-5 is a good age because they are still young and will be around for awhile

Answer 5

I would say an 'all-rounder' or a 'family' horse. Depends on how confident she is, but I would try to avoid anything with Arab in it.
