Morgans! They are intelligent, kind, curious, athletic, and they have such beautiful heads and elegant movement. I love how versatile the breed is too.

Growing up I always wanted Arabians but I lived in Quarter Horse country. It took a long time, but I eventually gained a love for the breed, especially the old style foundation quarter horses. They are so smart, full of heart, athletic and level headed, and if you treat them right they'll do anything for you.

nothing beats the elegance of the Friesian horse. I can draw them all day long!

I don't know if I could pick just one favorite. I've worked with a variety of breeds, and each had lovely qualities and unique personalities. I love Arabians for their loyal, energetic, long-lasting nature, and of course they're gorgeous(the older lines; I don't like like the extreme dish faces that are so common now). I'd take a good stock Quarter Horse any day for their mind and versatility, and Morgans for a similar reason. I'm in love with Kiger Mustangs, and they're so hardy and versatile(as well as gorgeous; I love a thickly built horse), plus they are native to my home state. I love the powerful speed and athletic ability of Thoroughbreds. Akhal-Tekes are another favorite for me because they are one of the oldest breeds in the world, closely related to Arabians, their unique hair structure gives them a golden sheen, and they tend to develop a super close bond with just one person in their lives.

But I also love my big horses, especially Drum Horses! They're sweet, big, and flashy, just a bigger version of a Gypsy Vanner. I love that Tinkers were bred by Romany people to be strong enough to pull a caravan, but with the temperament to be a good babysitter for the kids. So the fact that Drum Horses are all that in a bigger size is pretty perfect! Maybe that's my top favorite breed...

For color, I love appaloosas. Not 100% sure why. I have loved them for as long as I can remember.

For movement, I really like Friesian horses. That one changes periodically.

My first horse was an Arabian. Super smart and easy going.
He was the bestest boy. :x

I have shuffled around with Quarter Horses, Paints and Appaloosas
throughout my life since then. Always had a love for the color breeds, but
the sanest horses I have had were my QHs. I did have an Appaloosa/TB cross.
She was a saint, even for a mare. So, I believe that any good, minded horse
is my favorite. :-))

a reminder that this ends at rollover!
