l weight 145 lbs / 6'2' / what kind of saddle do l need to get ?

safe sound and sane. Forget breed - there's good and bad in all breeds. A quarter horse is no more gentle than a morgan or appaloosa solely based on breed. There's many quarter horses NOT suitable for beginners. Look for one that you get along with. Don't worry too much on color, breed etc unless you're looking at showing. What kind of saddle depends on what you're going to do. Many like the Western saddles - but if you're doing an English discipline that's out. Trail riding you could also use an Australian saddle - which I really like but they sit a little different than others. If you are riding western and just for fun and trail riding, I suggest a Wintec synthetic saddle. They are quite durable and light. For your height, I'd not consider a pony per se. Get a good sized well trained quarter horse, between 15 1/2-16 hands tall, and a western saddle. If you don't know how to ride, I'd invest in lessons. Make sure you have the facilities to keep your horse and know how to properly take care on him. There is more to maintenance than just feeding, haying and riding. You might have to consider expense also. weight and height do not matter!! But if you are looking for a good gentle breed then I would choose a Quarter Horse. They are fairly big in size and very loving. There are a lot of life stock auctions that you can pick them up quite inexpensive. But if you have no experience, then i suggest you take someone who knows a little. I suggest if you want a pony a quarter pony and if you wasnt a horse then a Morgan or a
