Today I want to talk about different horse breeds.
-Palomino horses are roughly the same color as a newly minted gold coin, they have very light colored manes and tails. There is a preferred height which is between 14-2 to 16 hands (1 hand = 4 inches). The preferred weight is from 1000-1200lbs. These horses are generally used for parade, pleasure, fine harness, stock, and saddle horses.

-Thoroughbred horses are known as the breed for speed. A normal Thoroughbred will stand anywhere from 15-17 hands and weigh about 900-1025 lbs. They are generally race horses, but they have also been used in many English ridding classes such as dressage, jumping, or even polo ponies.

-Paint horses are stock horses, but are best known for there beautiful spotted colors patterns. There are two main types of paint patterns overo, and tobiano. Occasionally you end up with a tovero, which means that the horse shows signs of both. Paint horses are closely related to the Quarter Horse. These horses however can be used in many different things from western to English ridding these horses can be slow and calm, or the worlds best English dressage horse or even the great jumper.
