Of course it depends on the age, size and riding level of the child but here is the rule of thumb:No really young horses. A green horse/green rider combo is bad news. I like a horse 10 and over for a child under 7 years. The best breeds are Quarter Horse or QH cross, Paint of Paint cross, Welsh or Welsh cross. (this will depend on the individual horse) Contrarary to popular belief, ponies don't always make the best kid's mount. Right size, wrong temperment. Ponies can be difficult. Good kid's horses are worth their weight in gold. Good Luck.

Gray is not a breed, its color. There is no specific breed that is good for a kids horse, but there are many different kinds. For a kids horse you want a smaller horse. So, a horse or pony that is about the child's height with a calm disposition will be perfect. Don't worry about color or looks. These should be the last thing on your list. You want a horse in good health, preferably at least 8 years old because younger horses tend to be less calm, and with plenty of experience in what discipline the child is interested in.
They can get on a gigantic horse, but it depends mostly on how good they are! I suggest connemara ponies! Mine LOVES kids and gets sooooo happy when one gets on him! They are fantastic and you can show on them too!
