    What breed is common in your area?

    Here in cali, we have LOTS AND LOTS of quarter horses in my area. We have a lage amount paints too.
    I live in a farming town, could explain why!

    What about your area?

    Well, I live in the Texas panhandle so the most common breeds here are the stock breeds. Mostly quarter horses, then there are fewer paints, and I'll see an occasional appaloosa. Occasionally you will see a thoroughbred, but not often. Then there are a few folks that have draft or draft cross horses, but they are few and far between. Lots of folks have mules/donkeys but they are more often herd guardians turned out with the cattle and are seldom broke.

    Gaited or other "off" breed horses are virtually unheard of. I can count on one hand how many times I've even seen a gaited horse in real life.

    We have mostly QH/paint/TB/Appy and arabs (especially AR) lot of the stock breeds. We don't really see as many draft or "fancy" horses haha.

    In my area you see mostly QH or paints. Not many thoroughbreds, but quite a few Arabs. I live in the city, and there's a big ranch just down the street that was really big into breeding QH race horses. I think they've been there since before we were considered in the city. I don't know exactly what they do now, but there are still horses there and babies every year, but I've never seen their race track being used. A little bit further down the road is a super fancy Arabian training/boarding facility, with high brick walls so you can't really see what goes on. My point being if that's what's going on in the city, that's probably where the demand is, QHs and arabians.

    In the Netherlands many different breeds, like KWPN, Arabian horse, welsh pony, friesians, icelandic hors, haflingers, shetland pony, tinker horse, drafthorses and a lot more :p
    Don't really know if the names in dutch are the same as in english.

    Quarter Horses and more Quarter Horses. Some Paints are around, and occasionally you'll see an Arab or two at open shows around the area, but most people own Quarter Horses.

    We mostly have Latvian Warmbloods, both sports and carriage type, and, in our dressage and showjumping world, many other European Warmblood breeds come in play, too.
