So I am still on the look out for a lease (I don't think Patch will be a match), but also considering buying as finding a lease that meets what I want is proving a challenge. So keeping options open and looking at horses for sale.
Which brings me to my question, I am short at just over 5 ft and my preference would be around 15.2/3 (I currently ride a 16hh, who is OK, but mounting can sometimes be less than graceful). I don't really want to share my weight, but I am a size 14/16, my coach thinks I ride pretty well balanced and am light on my reins.
The most common breed here is a Quarter Horse, bred for cowboys and long days on the trail. My coach thinks that's a good option, and I am avoiding any dainty OTTB or warmbloods, but any thoughts on other breeds I could take a look at?
