What horse breed would be best suited for me?

I'm not getting a horse any time soon, though I might get one in a couple of years if I can afford to care for it.



I like horses that are 14.2-16.2hh.

I'm learning English and want to jump, maybe do cross country.

I like horses that have a little bit of spirit, but are still gentle.

I like palominos, bays, and greys.

I like straight heads and the heads Andalusians have.

I think Andalusians are the most beautiful horses

I would want it to have smooth gaits



I like these horses' conformation:

I don't like these horses' conformation:

That's all I can think of right now......... but I feel like I forgot to add somethingWhat horse breed would be best suited for me?
I say Morgans. There is a subset of baroque type Morgans. I don't have time to find several horses of the type to show you, but here is MEMC Tequila Cuervo, a cremello stallion:

Morgans can be very successful eventers, though if you got a baroque type, you probably couldn't get as far. Here is a Morgan eventer that did very well:

Addition:

Yes, they can be! Make sure you look for one with sport bloodlines, though. The show type bloodlines probably won't get you as far in terms of jumping ability. If you want, email me. I can give you links to some Morgan breeding farms that focus on sport type Morgans.
maybe a connemara horse?

they are easy to look after, have lovely temperaments and are very beautiful :)What horse breed would be best suited for me?
appaloosa

wait until you have been riding horses and know what you want more, it will find you when you least expect it.
i would think maybe an Arabian...What horse breed would be best suited for me?
COME BACK IN TWO YEARS TIME, AND STOP WASTING OUR TIME YOU IDIOT.



NICE ONE--
Seems like a good plan would be to look for an Andalusian cross.

If you like them, (and they've got smooth gaits!) but you are interested in jumping or cross country, a cross with a warmblood or a thoroughbred would be a great choice.



I do want to add, however, that it's not about the look or the breed. If you find a friendly, reliable equine with a good heart and some courage (for those big jumps!), then you're in great shape!

The ugliest horses can the best partners!



Best of luck, and happy riding!
