No one breed of horse is any better than the other, what a younger child needs is dependent upon their skill level, height, weight, and if they have a desire to compete in a specific discipline. Breed and color should be the last things considered for an 11 year old.
8 months old
There is actually an average for how old a horse is for each breed (because the life span for each breed is different) but I breed Arabians and we had an old mare, she lived to be 34. Sounds ancient, I know!
A foal is a baby horse between 0yrs and 1yr old.

it depends on its breed and how old it is
A horse can become pregnant any time after its first cycle - usually around a year or two of age and can keep reproducing as long as she is sound and healthy into her twenties. Usually they are not bred until they are four years old.
At 2-3 years of age a horse will reach sexual maturity, thus able to breed.
Some horses that would be good for beginners would be: The quarter horse- one of the most popular breeds in the USA The appaloosa The pinto The connemara Hope that helped! It does not have to do with the breed of the horse!! take this from a VERY EXPERIENCED RIDER! the best horse for a beginner would be a horse that is atleast 20 year-old. why? because a 20 year old horse ( a horse on the older side) is more mellow and is less likely to bolt or take off. so if you are planning on doing lessons, ask for a older horse that has been doing lessons for a long time, hope that helped you!
A horse under the age of one is called a foal. Once it is one year old, it is called a yearling.
