Whether you love to go on trail rides, or have set your eyes on competing, owning a horse can be very rewarding.

With so many choices to choose from, selecting a horse that will fit in your lifestyle will surely be a challenge, especially if this is your first horse.

While certain horse breeds are more suited to specific disciplines compared to others, many breeds are excellent all-rounders. Making a thorough research before purchasing a horse will help guarantee that the breed will suit you, your ability to ride, and the intended use.

Your location from where a breed of horse is found can also influence, to a certain extent, the horse you buy.

In order to have a perfect fit, the horse breed that you select should possess a temperament that matches your experience. If you are still a novice, you may have a hard time dealing with a horse that dances around while being saddled.
