The most popular horse in North America is the American Quarter horse with the largest breed registry in the world. I would suggest that you do very careful reseach before thinking of starting a horse farm in todays market. There is a glut of horses and the prices for horses are at historically low values.
You can use ANY type of horse for a farm if they are trained right. But, Quarter horses (or paints) are usually used. Mutts are good too, for you can do more then one thing with them... usually. Quarter Horses seem like a good choice because of their build and their attitude. They are good for cattle work because they have wide breasts, and their size is also great. They are usually not too big and not too small. They are a great ride too! Paint's could be the same, but it usually depends on the genetics. But really, ANY horse can be used. :) For example, I have an Arabian. Yes, an Arabian for the farm when their breed is famous for their jumping, dressage, and just beauty over all.
~Judge the Deed, not the Breed~ ;)
My first horse was an arabian named All about me and she was the best. get an arabian. There is no one 'best' breed for a first horse. In reality you shouldn't even be concerned about the breed in the beginning. You should be more concerned with if the horse is overall suitable for you and your goals, things like breed should be considered last.
It REALLY depends on what you plan to use the horse for.
a miniature horse is a great carting breed and there ya go folks
The best type of horse to have as a pet depends on what you want to do with the horse. If you simply want a companion animal that can maybe pull a small cart, then a miniature horse, Shetland pony, or another breed of small pony is usually the best and most economical. If you want something that can be ridden then a medium sized pony on upwards to large draft horses can fill this role.
an appendix, quarter horse or a appaloosa and a palomino
There is no one "best" breed, they all have their merits and downfalls.
the breed doesn't really matter...the height of the horse matters.
Endurance riding
Any breed or cross breed of horse will work fine so long as it is sound and well trained. Don't buy a specific breed of horse just because some says it's the best.
Yes and no. Whether a particular breed of horse is best is all a matter of opinion.
In my opinion, the draft horses are better! Like the Australian Stock Horse and the Draft Horse!
you should look for an animal that is not too big or too small, if your looking for a companion for a normal sized horse look for a goat,or a cow. if your looking for a draft breed look for a cow or a llama OR a donkey and or mule. mini's would do best with other mini's. dogs are not the best they are man's best friends but not horses best bud's.
