The breed would probably depend on what you want to use the horse for.  The training te horse has should depend on your experience and riding ability.  Please consider unwanted horses that are available for adoption and sale.

If you have a place in your heart and home for an unwanted FREE (yes, free)Thoroughbred, visit www.thehorse.com/.../Available.aspx or go to TheHorse.com and follow the links for the Thoroughbred Adoption Service to find your next horse.

Hope this helps.

Well, I will tell you from experience that thoroughbreds do tend to be more "jumpy" than paints.  

But, that is just a generalization-- a lot of it depends on what you intend to use the horse for, AND it depends on the personality of the horse--

I have a thoroughbred and an arabian-- my arabian is just a little fidgity and a little more persnickety about the way things are done, whereas my arabian is completely laid back and could just care less, he will do whatever you want him to do whenever--

I think you need to decide what breed of horse you like, and then look, look, look for the horse that fits your personality- it has much more to do with personality than it does with breed.

I am assuming you have two horses picked out?  First off lets make sure you understand that a PAINT horse is either a TB, or a QH, or some mix of TB and QH breeding with the paint color, so the Paint and TB may actually have the same breeding hiding behind the color.  So if you like the paint color, go for it!  If you did already have two horses picked out, tell us about them.  And by the way for clarity, a PINTO can be anybreed, as long as it has the 2 or 3 colored pattern and a PAINT is an established breed with only TB or QH blood lines!  That is important to understand.
