What horses are good family horses?

Answer 1

Arabians horses in my experience are the best family horses because they are strong, sweet, and controllable.

There are actually many horse breeds that are fine family horses. You will find very nice horses from many different breeds. I have Percherons, quarter horses, mustangs, thoroughbreds, and morgans. You can find calm horses in just about any breed. Personally, I would tend to go toward lower maintenance horses, such as mustangs, quarter horses or morgans. These tend to have fewer problems with bone structure and almost zero foot problems.

Thoroughbreds tend to be higher maintenance horses and can be high strung. If you are unsure of any horse, lease it for awhile before you buy.
