It's saddle, not sattle.
And it really depends on what you want and the level you are at. Some quarter horses are great for beginning level hunter jumpers. Even Appys, Paints, Arabs, and mixed breeds look great under English Saddle. Heck, I rode an Appaloosa competitively for years - and did very very well.
Once you start getting into Grand Prix level jumping and Competitive Dressage, the look and needstends to lean towards leggier warm bloods and thoroughbreds.

Well Arabian is a good choice if you want a mainly English horse. I had an Arabian that i showed hunter and we could jump 3'-4' with no problem. So an Arabian is a good choice. Another good choice would be a Thoroughbred, or Thoroughbred-cross. They are wonderful Jumpers and can be English. I prefer Arabians just because I've been riding them for about 7 years and i love there personally and talent. But a Thoroughbred/Thoroughbred-cross would also be a wonderful choice. Just make sure before you buy if you have a chance to go out and look at the horse in person and give it a test ride to make sure. because pictures can be deceiving sometimes. I wish you the best of luck with your horse search and have fun!! *Also a little hint to anyone testing out a horse. If they seem a little out of it check there neck to make sure they didn't give them anything that can make them less active. They do that if the horse is very high ended.

If you ride English the type of horse does not make any difference at all.
I ride an ex-race horse thoroughbred and I ride westen and english. Depends on what I am doing that day as to which saddle I use.
I have ridden thoroughbreds, warmbloodsm arabs, paints, quarter horses all in westen and english saddle.

Any horse will do but one with a longer stride is usually best. But as far as breeds, any can be ridden english. Typically your hunter types (Thoroughbreds, warmbloods, etc) are ridden english. There simply is no "best" horse to ride english. I ride draft horses english, I am a dressage rider, they work wonderfully for what I do!

Any horse can be trained for English or Western. Just don't choose a horse that was trained Western and expect him to respond well to a new riding style. Thoroughbreds are often used.

Throughbreds, Irish Sport Horses, Arabians, and Dutch Warmbloods.
