If I wanted to get a good working horse, what would you recommend2007-11-24 21:17:25

What breed of horse is good for working on the ranch, that could help pull carts and stuff? I hope someone could answer.

Answers:

Well this is what draft horses are bred for so one of those breeds would be what I would look into. Clydesdale, Percheron, Belgian are a few of the breeds or perhaps a draft cross

I would say a quarter horse maybe they are durable and good for working out on ranches and with cattle or a stock horse

here is some info on quater horses:

im not sure if your from australia but thats what we call them=)

Their coloring varies from bay, black and brown and includes chestnut, palomino, buckskin and grey. The quarter horse breed is known for its small, short and refined head and straight profile as well as its broad chest and powerful hindquarters. Standing between 14 and 16 hands, about five-feet-tall at the withers, they are bred with two main body types. The stock type, which is more compact and muscular yet extremely agile, and the racing type that may be slightly taller with smoother muscles typically trained for running quarter mile sprints.

The quarter horse breeds usually shown in competition are larger, more muscular horses with wide jowls. Those for reining and cutting are smaller with more powerful hindquarters very agile and quick on their feet. The show type resembles the running quarter horse though some may be taller and slimmer. All quarter horses however have speed, power and are more than willing to please their owners.
