This depends upon what you want to do. For casual trail riding I suggest a smaller horse such as a Quarter Horse (not the Appendix ones), Paint, Pinto, Appaloosa or similar horse. These are shorter, stockier horses with the heavy frame and muscling to keep going for hours without getting exhausted. If you are pulling a farm vehicle (wagon, cart, carriage, sled, etc.), you'll want a draft horse. Examples of these breeds include Friesans, Clydesdales and Belgians. For general everyday riding and small carriage pulling, any of the mid-size breeds work well - Standardbred, Thoroughbred, etc.
