What the listing tells you
"Broke to ride" means the horse is trained under saddle. "Broke to drive" means he is trained in harness to pull a cart or wagon. "Drives single and double" means he has driven on his own and as part of a pair. Some listings also say whether a horse rides English, Western or both.
Riding horses
Riders often choose by gait and size. Gaited horses and some mules have a smooth natural gait that many riders find comfortable on long trail rides. Quarter Horses and crosses suit riders who want a do-it-all partner.
Driving horses
Draft breeds were developed to work in harness, and the Belgians, Percherons and draft crosses we place are often listed as broke to drive as well as ride.
