Breed doesn't matter. Some horses of any breed are very gentle and easily handled, while others of the same breed are next to impossible.\n     I had one appaloosa from birth that had a mind of his own. He was real hard to handle unless he felt like it, then he was tops. His quarter horse pasture friend was a big gentle baby. He was very careful moving around in his stall. He was afraid he might step on a cat or a mouse.

I would try local farmers, ask them as they all usually ride very well. My daughter never had any professional lessons but rode at the farm and we also rode horse several times in Egypt. Finally she had one professional lesson and the teacher was amazed and said she learned more in half an hour than some of her students had in a year.

The trainers theses days are so much better( a smarter breed)but this horse is use to getting 3 to 6 weeks between racing efforts....if they get his all in Preakness could be nothing left for the Third jewel....I do hope this horse races afterwards though...like the Breeders Cup stuff no matter what happens.....I like the turf to dirt move ...speed breaks down faster on the grass..so if your horse can do a mile or longer at 2 yrs(good effort 5th or better)..try him on the dirt...and the rest is HISTORY

Declarations are not in yet for this meeting, but will be later this afternoon - check out www.racingpost.co.uk and click Cards on the left hand side of the page, then select the date you want and finally the course.\n\nAs a rough guide when picking out horses it is always a good idea to look at them in the paddock before the race.  Check to see if they look well (shiny coat, bright eyes, not looking overweight) and how they are reacting to the surroundings.  As a rule of thumb a horse that misbehaves before a race will not run well as they are not concentrating on their job.\n\nFinally pick up a Racing Post tomorrow morning and read through the form guides before you get to the meeting.\n\nHappy racing!

I love horses, especially Peruvian Paso Horses and American Quarter Horses.\n\nPeruvians are gaited horses.  They are really smooth, and do not trot.\n\nBelow are links to more information on both breeds.

1st, get a job where YOU make enough to pay for the horse, boarding, food and medicine for as long as you own the horse. Next, pay for the groomer, the saddles, the accessories, etc. etc. Oh yeah, find the time to take your kids to visit the horse everyday at least until the newness wears off.

Corbette\nBates\nHenri De Rivel\nWintec.\n\nThese are all very nice saddles and will usually come in magazines like Dover Saddlery and State Line tack.

This completely depends on the horse. If you're asking as a gambling tip, you're better off asking about a specific horse. You need to take in their workouts, their racing style, their trainer, and even their jockey.

Go with the winning percentage Jockey. And then decide on the horse.

Ponies are breeds of horses that stand under 42 inches high at the withers (top of shoulder)as full grown adults. There are breeds of ponies: Shetlands, Chincoteague, Welsh, Hackney, etc. Ponies are NOT baby horses or baby anythings.

A three year old (as she'll be then) has the option of showing in a bosal or hackamore so keep that in mind.  I think you will need to look into a trainer to work with him and his horse.  She is still a baby and even a year of riding won't prepare her for the things she'll see at a fair.  Although your grandson may be an excellent rider there is a big difference between controlling an experienced horse who spooks at something but realizes he can trust his rider and a youngster who may panic further when the reins are tightened or her rider slips to one side.  Even an older rider can have difficulty soothing a frightened filly.  While he's putting the training into his filly he could also look for a loaner to take to his first year of fair.  He'll have a better grasp of the routines, and experience with the hustle and bustle of sometimes over crowded rings.  He'll still have the pride of telling everyone that he's training his "baby" for next year.  He'll also have spent the added time really getting to know his 4-H group and making friends who can really help out through the week.  Searching and joining a good group will also give you many learning experiences to take the filly to.  With plenty of people happy to help out.  Sorry for the big speech Good luck

totally depends what you are looking for! sport horse is not a racehorse so anywhere from €10000 to €50000 would get a nice showjumper but a top class one would clost up to and over €500,000.

Hey try this site from the BBC. It might be a little too in depth for you but the first page is a good introduction and page 5 gives a good example on how horses have evolved.\n\nhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/biology/variationandinheritance/3evolutionrev2.shtml
