The best horse for kids so far..........
They are calm, gentle, and even they are fast they will NEVER hurt anybody altough if it's toddler!
So if you have a kid and it wants a horse then buy a quarter horse gelding for it, because mare is not
even 90% save only 80% save(no horse is 100% save, geldings are 90% save.And NEVER buy a stallion!Stallions are 0% save!Even if it's a quarter horse!Also you need to get sure the horse has a good temperament!NEVER buy a horse before you know it's temperament!So good luck with selecting a right horse for your kid!

paint
American paint horses are beautiful in and out. Most are sweet, loving, willing and trust wrothy. But keep in mind pick one good for your type of living some are peppy like their thoroughbred atcestors but most of them have more quaterhorse in them which are peppy, calm and some times lazy! I love them so much

I would be interested to hear any positive shetland pony stories that don't end with the child getting hurt. We grew up around all sorts of horses and ponies and I would never recommend a shetland pony to a family with children. They will throw you off, run off with you riding them, and some other not so great qualities that I wouldn't recommend for children. I would say it was the trainer, but I've seen it with many different trainers and discipline strategies. Welsh ponies, yes. Shetland Ponies, no.

Arabian
This is one of the world's most famous breeds! Also one of the most elegant breeds of horse. The only horse breed which has some, though not all, have 5 lumbar vertebrae instead of the usual 6, and 17 rather than 18 pairs of ribs. Really beautiful horse.

Arabians have quite the wild side!!!It wouldn't be very smart to throw your kids on one of those horses.(unless an older horse)

They have "fire" and "spunk" but depending on the persistence of the kids can be great horses.
