I am going to be western AND english riding and competing and jumping and sometimes barrel racing (just for fun) i will go on trail rides so not a horse that gets spooked easily! I will be in Santa fe so just incase one breed hoofs are not strong that will be a problem! i will be the only one riding him maybe family and is there a special breed that gets along with painted horses (my dads horse) and maybe what kind a stallion gelding etc. to know witch is better for someone who has LOTS of experience riding for 7 years and maybe one horse who doesn't always think he is starving to death!!! I will be doing lessons sometimes! so yeah please answer the question don't say use spell check its annoying so please just say a answer if you don't know don't answer the question! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!

Please use spell check. Most of the older posters will ignore you if we can't understand your posts.
Society does not need more children; but it does need more loved children. Quite literally, we cannot afford unloved children - but we pay heavily for them every day. There should not be the slightest communal concern when a woman elects to destroy the life of her thousandth-of-an-ounce embryo. But all society should rise up in alarm when it hears that a baby that is not wanted is about to be born. ~Garrett Hardin

I suggest you start looking through ads and try to find a horse YOU like, not what others like. I also suggest ignoring breeds. Find the horse suitable for you regardless of any of that. Here are a couple I found in NM that look pretty nice:

Agreed.
Forget about breed, and look for a horse that YOU love.

I really think the first one has potential. She's not too pricey and seems like she knows the ropes pretty well. She looks like a nice mare, and if she's in your area you could get in touch with the seller and try her out.
Good luck in your search!
As the others said, it's not breed that matters, it's the individual horse. Everyone at my barn is amazed how calm and gentle my thoroughbred is, especially since he is off the track, but he's just an easy going guy.

| ^^ agrreed. I don't go anywhere (even tack shopping sometimes) without my trainer. My friend was on a recent search for a AQHA horse and she found two that turned out to be a stud and mare together and the owner swore to us that they wouldn't be able to breed because "that would be wrong" :/ (Oh and the stud bit my friend and the mare kicked her) So when looking for a horse, find an experianced owner who is selling them. (thats our new motto)

| I am just going to warn you: some mares can be moody. We have found that our mare was a bit moody and liked to be in charge. But, we also found that our second mare was the sweetest horse ever. Our two geldings never had problems when it came to being moody or liking to be in charge. So, if you're getting your first horse or you're not very experienced, you may want to get a gelding. You won't have to deal with the chance of your horse being moody. If you're experienced and you know what you're doing, it doesn't really matter. Once again, it's just a suggestion. Sometimes it doesn't matter. Hope this helps!!! :)

First any breed can be a lazy or stubborn horse. Even though horses are different types they all can have the same types of personality. Although some may be more prone to certain attitudes than others, each horse is unique. Second if your cousin is a really good trainer why would the horse have to be easy to train? Good trainers should be able to handle horses with different attitudes as well as easy to train horses. But anyway, if you are looking for a young horse for your cousin to train for you, make sure it is curious, friendly, and not shy. Horses with fear can be more difficult to train. Also older untrained horses can be difficult. If you want one already trained, try to find a nice 15 year old horse or so, that has had lots of experience. Just because they are older and are saddle broke doesn't mean they are safe.
