Horse breed popularity, like many other things fluctuates, and fads start and end, sometimes very quickly. There are a few breeds that are tried and true, and can be counted on to help build a successful stable. Others are fun, unusual, and may be more of a risk, but become popular nonetheless. Here’s a look at some of the most popular horse breeds in Ponybox stables.

Top breeders include Pepper Tree Thoroughbreds, Bucki Int Elite TBs and Devito International TBs. Thoroughbreds are amongst the high jumpers with horses like RSS ShotInTheDark, ! Ophelia and ! Risky In Black jumping 100” or higher.
Quarter Horses
American Quarter Horses are the world’s most popular breed, and they're pretty popular on Ponybox too. There are almost 700 active Quarter Horses and almost 15,000 retired.

And, they tend to stay out of the top 100 in rank, although they do make a solid showing in the top 500 rankings. Top high jumping QH is ! Zemsta, who has a highest jump of 96”.
Standardbreds
Better known for their speed and prowess in harness, Standardbreds are nevertheless a popular breed on Ponybox.
