What are some of the best breeds for showjumping? And, why are they better? Also, does mare/gelding/stallion make any difference, height, etc?

designingshinto I'd say a typical showjumper would be a thoroughbred(mostly i have seen ages 14 and up ride TB's)-- they have a lot of stamina, they are usually pretty large and have good jumping legs on them (not to mention they can get pretty msucular) The gender doesn't...

Muck Out To Ride

EvrWonder @EvrWonder (3571) • Canada 23 Mar 07

designingshinto I think that a good horse rescue program takes horses of all age, shape, color etc.. I don't like the ones that only take thoroughbreds such as CANTERusa-- I also like organizations that are non profit and have NO paid staff. I also like the places that keep...
