An Arabian, because Arabians were built for stamina not Quarter Horses
The cross between an Arabian and Quarter Horse is not actually a breed. This cross is more commonly refered to as a Quar-ab and although the AQHA (quarter horse registry) will not accept this cross in their registry, the Arabian registry will accept this in the half Arab registry. This means you can show your horse at Arabian shows in the half Arab classes. The Quar-ab is a very pretty horse. You get the beauty of the Arabian and the calm nature of the Quarter Horse.
Numbers wise yes, quarter horses are more popular. But arabians tend to have a nearly rabid fan base.
There are more being approved each day but some are: Morab (Morgan X Arab) Pintaloosa (Paint X Appaloosa) Anglo-Arab (Thoroughbred X Arabian) Appendix Quarter Horse (Thoroughbred X Quarter Horse) National Show Horse (American Saddlebred X Arabian) Welara Pony (Welsh Pony X Arabian) Quarab (Quarter Horse X Arabian) Walkaloosa (Tennessee Walker X Appaloosa) Azteca (Quarter Horse X Andalusian) Pony of the Americas (Multiple Horse Cross) Irish Hunter (Thoroughbred X Irish Draught) Araloosa (Arbian X Appaloosa) Hispano (Arabian or Andalusian X Thoroughbred) also called Spanish Anglo-Arab And many, many more yet to be named.
The only original breed of horse, which all other light horse breeds derive from, is the Arabian. This does not include draft horses, ponies or donkeys. Arabians are the only horses of pure blood in the world; they pass on their beauty, strength, stamina and intelligence. The first breed to derive from the Arabian was the Thoroughbred, next in no particular order, were the Morgan, the Quarter Horse, Saddlebred, Tennessee Walker, Standardbred, Appaloossa, many more, including the American Mustang.

More than breed, body type is what will be similar. A 15.2 Quarter Horse will weigh about the same as a Paint, Arabian, Appaloosa, crossbreed, or Morgan of the same height. Horse's bone structure will also play a part. A 15.2 Quarter Horse may weigh less than a 15.2 Shire or other heavier draft breeds.
This is a matter of opinion. You would have to go out and look at a few horses of each breed, maybe ride them if you can and see what you like better. And also, you need to decide what you want in a horse. Arabs have great stamina, but Quarter horses are the fastest horses in the world, being clocked at 55 mph, but only over short distances. Also, Arabians are the most popular breed in the world, followed by Quarter horses in second. but, in America, Quarter horses are the most popular. Quarter horses are a more common western mount than Arabians are. And as a general rule, Quarter horses are calmer and more dependable, while Arabians are very high-spirited. HOWEVER, there are exceptions to every rule, and you will find some very excitable Quarter horses and some very calm Arabians.
The true origin of the Arabian horse is unknown, but it is believed that they were discovered. For more information on the origin of the Arabian horse, see the link in the Related Links section below.
A half horse, half donkey hybrid is known as a mule. Mules are the offspring of a male donkey (jack) and a female horse (mare). They are known for their strength, endurance, and sure-footedness, making them valuable working animals in agriculture and transportation. Mules inherit desirable traits from both parent species, such as the donkey's hardiness and the horse's size and speed.
The Quarter Horse is the fastest horse in the world for short distances, 1/4 mile, more or less. That's why they are called quarter horses.
There are MANY different kinds off horses. I will just name a few. There is the appaloosa, clydesdale, thoroughbred, American paint horse, quarter horse, przwezelski's horse, Arabian, American saddlebred, connemara pony, standerbred, Morgan horse, and racking horse. There are many more.
No. An American Paint Horse is a specific breed. They must be a Quarter Horse with spots that fit certain qualifications. They are usually known as Paints. An Arabian is not a Quarter Horse and cannot be a Paint.An Arabian can be a Pinto however. A Pinto is a color breed - as long as a horse has spots, he can be a pinto. It used to be thought that Arabians didn't have spots, but this is untrue. Arabians carry a gene for a special spotting pattern called Sabino. This gene can be hidden and crop out unexpectedly.Any horse can be a paint/pinto. (That I know of.) And arabians are no exception. Paint is a colour of the coat, nothing more, nothing less. therefore Yes. arabians can be paint.
