Like people, horses have many different personalities. This does not always depend on what breed it is. People are always saying how big, draft horses are gentle, yet they can be fiery. Same goes with Quarter horses! :)
I would recommend the American Quarter Horse. Though there is many gentle horses, the Quarter Horse loves people and company.
If you get a good, non-stubborn Quarter Horse, then yes Quarter Horses are great to just ride around in. If your not going into compitions, get a slower Quarter Horse, also aging around 12-16. Gelding not stallion, I prefer mares. I have my own experience on Quarter Horses, I have 3 of them and I Barrel Race with my horse. And they are very gentle 'giants'! I recommend them.
Mustangs: Fierce and wild Thoroughbreds: Kind and FAST Paints: Sassy, but sweet Clydesdales: Gentle, easygoing Appaloosas: Kind a caring Quarter Horses: popular breed, easygoing Hackneys and Standardbreds: More of a challenge, great show horses Curlys: Rare and beautiful I'd say all of the breeds are great. My favorite breed is Mustang. But if your lookiung for a gentle horse I'd say maybe a Quarter horse. Thanks!
Quarter horses are named that because they can run a Quarter of a mile really fast. They had races in the old days for a quarter of a mile and they would use Quarter horses for them. Now Quarter Horses aren't as popular for racing, because Thoroughbreds have better stamina.
When referring to horses disposition means the horses general demeanor or general temperament. Gentle means the horse is calm and usually quiet and nice to be around. Therefore a horse with a gentle disposition will typically have a gentle nature or personality.
