What kind and size saddle is best to use when training and riding a quarter horse?
It all depends on what you're going to do with it. First, English or Western? I'm a Western rider, so I can't really help you with English riding. Since it's a Quarter horse, I'll assume it's Western. If you're going to do reining, get a reining saddle. Pleasure, get a pleasure saddle. Trails, get a trail saddle, western speed events, get a barrel saddle. I personally LOVE barrel saddles. I do all sorts of trails and moving cattle and speed events (barrels, poles, straightaway, speed, flags, etc.) And won't ever use anything else. It's easier to sit deep in the saddle. Again, it depends on what works best for you and your horse. As for size, that depends completely. Get a size that fits you, and make sure it fits your horse right. There isn't anything that is special for 'quarter horses.'

Do put the saddle or the bridle on first?
From April Reeves, Horseman's U.com: Either. You can ground drive a horse first, which would entail using a bridle and surcingle. Or you can use roundpen, Natural Horsemanship or 'western' methods, where you get the horse comfortable with the saddle first and desensitize him, before the bridle. I have used both methods, depending on the future use of the horse. Both work (under professional hands) but will achieve slightly different outcomes.
What a equipment do you use to ride a horse English style?

No you dont have to use a saddle when mounting a horse, but if you plan to ride in a saddle then it is allot easyer to put it on first. If your horse is quite tall then you will probably need to use a mounting block or fence etc to get on.
What is the breastplate used for on the saddle?
I use my breast plate for looks in the show ring, but it can be used to help keep the saddle from sliding backwards when the horse is moving. I use it on my horse that has almost no withers to prevent the saddle from sliding too far to the side.
What saddles do pinto horses usually have?
