A Western horse is used for Western events, such as roping, barrel racing, reining, cutting, pole bending, and others. These events usually evolved from ranch work. Almost any horse can be used for Western, but the most common tend to be Quarter Horses, Paints, and Appaloosas, the "stock" breeds. You can also show western pleasure which is a slow but a comfortable ride but are called different gaits.
