There is a lot of good advice here for you. Don’t be hung up on breed or color. If you are not going to class A shows, any breed or combination with a good temperament, training and soundness will work well. And remember any good horse is a great color.

For an all-around or tail riding horse, the American Quarter Horse is widely considered the best choice due to its versatility, calm temperament, and ability to handle a variety of riding styles, including long-distance trail riding and even some agility work; making it suitable for both casual and more demanding activities.
