Many horse breeds have come across my path over the years. I’ve had the pleasure of being owned by an Appendix Quarter Horse, an Appaloosa, an American Warmblood, and several off-track Thoroughbreds. Right now, I lease an Arabian (that’s us above). I’ve vaulted on a Belgian, barrel raced on a Morgan, and trail ridden on a Tennessee Walking Horse.
Every breed has amazing and unique qualities that are cherished by the breeders and owners that choose to make it a part of their lives. Perhaps you own one of the breeds featured inside, or maybe you’re simply an admirer of all things horse. Either way, in this fifth edition of Best of Breeds, we invite you to enjoy a journey through our newly refreshed, handpicked photos and profiles of the breeds featured within these pages.
