Temperament first
A beginner's horse should give a rider confidence instead of taking it away. In Corey's listings, that shows up as a horse who is easy to catch, stands quietly to be groomed, saddled and mounted, and is the same horse every day.
Big or small?
Small is not always easier. Corey wrote about one 17.1-hand Belgian, Champ, that "despite standing 17.1 hands, he doesn't act like a big intimidating horse." Ponies are a great size for younger children to handle, and our pony page shows the ones we've placed. Haflingers sit in between: about 13 to 15 hands.
