[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 166952, member: 539"] Saltydawg, I'm not sure it has so much to do with the breed as it does with getting a horse that is big enough to handle the job (no disrespect or denigration intended) and suitable for what you want. I know several people that are about the size you mentioned and they all do very well with bigger (probably 16 -17 hands, maybe bigger as I've never measured them and am terrible at judging height) quarter horses. I think a suitably sized Morgan cross would work, as well, as they have bottom, heart, and stamina. I don't know if all Morgans work for cows as well as the one I used to have did, but might be something to check into. I knew one or two that had Thoroughbreds, but I don't know how they would work for cows as they tend to be a bit more temperamental than Quarter Horses or Morgans. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors! [/QUOTE]
