What the best breed of horse for someone who has some riding experience and also does good with other horses?
It really depends on what type of riding you are interested in. If you like western then you may want a stock-type horse such as a Quarter Horse, Paint, or Appaloosa, or a cross breed of one of these breeds. If you are an intermediate rider than find a Quarter Horse, ect that is appropriate for your riding level. If you like huntseat or jumpers you have your choice of warmbloods, Thoroughbreds or some of the newer breeding Quarter Horses. They are very tall, have a lot of TB blood, but still have a pleasant termperment. But again, no matter the breed, the horse should match your riding level.

So long story short all horses are good its just a matter of finding the horse that works best for what you would like to do.

Gelding not stallion, I prefer mares. I have my own experience on Quarter Horses, I have 3 of them and I Barrel Race with my horse. And they are very gentle 'giants'! I recommend them.
What horses are good for English riding?
The type of horse that is best suited for English riding needs good conformation. This includes good bone (cannon bone). The shoulder should be at a 45 degree angle to allow for the extended trot that simulates trekking over fields and fences in a fox hunt. At the trot the knees should swing as an extension of the shoulder and maintain a flat-knee as the horse moves forward. A good, strong back and hindquarters that allow the horse to get his hocks underneath him. He needs to have a calm temperment yet be alert.The best breeds for this type of horse are can be Thoroughbred or Thoroughbred cross. Most warmbloods, Quarter Horses can make great English horses or Quarter Horse cross.

They just aren't built for it.
