American Quarter Horse: [link]
Fast, muscled, calm, and sensible.
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Quarter horse was my first thought too.

I love Quarter Horses.
Cool...thanks.
Okay, next question, which of those horses could one insert into the 1830s Wild West without too many questions? I mean, I don't think it has to be a canonical Wild West horse, because there's magic involved in the transformation, but nobody's freaking out at its existence so far...
That doesn't mean he couldn't swing by and be Daddy...
I don't think it's too much to ask. IJS.
The quarter horse was the main horse of the cowboy era.
What Ginger said [link]
Quarter horses would work: I would go with a reining or cutting type quarter horse - but possibly with less extravagent mane and forelock. (The extra hair is mainly a current style. . .) [link]
Quarter horses are wonderful*. They really would be a perfect horsey substitute for the Impala.
* Except for one particular QH by the name of Dudley who was evil on four hooves and largely responsible for my unwillingness to ride any more.
