They can be good race horses against other Morgans, but not against Thoroughbreds or Quarter horses.
Quater horses are good at herding cattle,sheep,they are very fast .
In general Quarter Horses have good temperments, they are athletic and versitile and usually very healthy.
Yep! they are known for western riding and racing. they are the fastest horses under a quarter of a mile.
Generally, yes. They are hardy, somewhat surefooted, and smart.
I have added several links full of good information about horses.
quarter horses are known as the best, but only if they have been trained right
Gypsy Vanner Horses are cart horses. They have good temperaments but are big! They are good for inexperienced riders but I would personally recommend a Quarter Horse. I grew up riding them since I was 3 and they are still my favorite. Goodluck :)
This is a matter of opinion. They both have good things going for them, and which is better for you depends on what you are looking for in a horse.
They just aren't built for it. Quarter horses have the ideal barrel racing conformation, with their well defined hindquarters, they are able to jump into a run from the starting gate and turn on a dime. Arabians are not built much like quarter horses. They can be good starter barrel horses, but if you want to go to the higher levels you need a horse with the build of a quarter horse.
Quarter horseor most horses that are bred from America
If you get a good, non-stubborn Quarter Horse, then yes Quarter Horses are great to just ride around in. If your not going into compitions, get a slower Quarter Horse, also aging around 12-16. 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.
