I'll be doing mostly trail, I'm a rather short person, I like the sound of the second filly better, but I know 2 QHs just like both of those, and they both have their faults.
Another thing, they are both 4 months old, just got offa their mamas, so i can't really decide some of those.
It sounds like the 2nd horses build might be better for trail, but I am sure either would be fine. Try doing something simple and see which one picks up on it quicker-- halter, brushing, leading... whatever. Also, look for the one with the bigger hooves. QH's tend to get foot problems because they often have small feet-- especially cutting horses.
That's what I was thinking. One of my friends has a retired QH racehorse, he is slimmer and taller, but his footing is really bad. CrystalLovin'CountryChic has a huge QH mare, she is twice as wide as the racehorse and is pushy and really strong, she can walk on anything. I had a not-so-good experience with a TB mare and i don't want a horse that'll be so tall I can barely control her, or a horse that will be so strong I can barely control her.
