Another small breed
that is handy and versatile is the Arabian. I once had a 7/8's Arabian mare
that I broke, and she turned out to be a wonderful, athletic, willing little
horse - able to anything I asked of her. I think I paid $200 for her (that
was after she cleared a barn of people when she threw a fit - she was a bit
wild and had been improperly handled as a filly when I got her).
But if you've a mind to save a rare breed, go for it. Just be sure to have
the horse vet checked and try to find out what problems exist in the
too-small gene pool remaining.
