All Around Horses for Sale Across the USA
An all around horse is a versatile horse that is comfortable doing a little of everything, from a relaxed trail ride to arena work, ranch chores and light showing. That versatility is why all around horses are among the most sought-after horses for sale: one horse can suit a family, a first-time owner or a rider who enjoys several disciplines. Compare all around horses for sale from private sellers and breeders across the country on this page, and use the filters to narrow the list by breed, age, gender, color, price and state.
Family, Beginner and Kid Safe Horses
Many buyers looking for an all around horse want a calm family horse, a beginner horse or a kid safe horse. Use the Discipline filter to look for horses listed as family, beginner or kid safe, then read the description to see what the horse has actually done. "All around" and "kid safe" are the seller's own words, so ask how the horse behaves with new riders and children, whether it has been ridden by a beginner, and whether it is comfortable being handled, tied and loaded.
How to Choose the Right All Around Horse
Start with how you plan to ride. A horse that does a little of everything may be a Quarter Horse, a Paint, an Appaloosa, an Andalusian or a grade horse, and many all around trail horses also work cattle or compete casually, so use the Breed and Discipline filters to compare. Price depends on age, training and reliability, so use the price filter to see what sellers are asking today. Then ask for photos and video, contact the seller directly through the listing, arrange a trial ride with the person who will ride the horse, and agree a pre-purchase veterinary exam before you buy. You can also browse every horse for sale on Equine Listings.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an all around horse?
An all around horse is a versatile horse that is trained and calm enough to do a little of everything, such as trail riding, light arena work, ranch chores and relaxed showing, rather than one narrow job. Read each description to see what the horse has actually done, because "all around" is the seller's description and not a fixed standard.
Are all around horses good for beginners and kids?
Many are, but never assume it. Use the Discipline filter to look for beginner, family and kid safe horses for sale, then ask the seller how the horse behaves with new riders and children, and whether it has been ridden by a beginner. Arrange a trial ride, with the rider who will be using the horse, before you decide.
How much does an all around horse cost?
Price depends on age, training, breed, registration and how reliable the horse is, so a young green horse and a seasoned family horse are priced very differently. Use the price filter on this page to see what sellers are asking right now, and compare horses of similar age and training rather than relying on an average.
Which breeds make good all around horses?
Many breeds can be all around horses, including Quarter Horses, Paints, Appaloosas, Morgans and Andalusians, as well as grade horses with no papers. Use the Breed filter to look for an all around Quarter Horse or any other breed, but judge the individual horse on training, temperament and soundness, because breed alone does not make a horse suitable for you.
Can an all around horse be used for trail riding, ranch work or showing?
Often yes, which is the point of an all around horse. Many all around trail horses also do ranch work, western riding or relaxed showing, but each horse differs. Check the listing's disciplines and ask the seller what level the horse has worked at, because a horse that suits casual riding may not be right for serious competition.
How do I find all around horses for sale near me?
Use the State filter and the City / County box to narrow the listings to your area, then open a listing to see the seller's town. Buying locally makes it easier to visit and try the horse. If the best match is farther away, ask for extra photos and video and plan the transport before you commit.
What should I check before buying an all around horse?
Match the horse's training and temperament to your own experience first, then check soundness, age, health and vaccination records, and registration papers if you need them. Watch the horse being handled and ridden, arrange a trial ride, contact the seller through the listing with Message Seller, and have a veterinarian of your choice perform a pre-purchase exam before you pay.
