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]

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
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.

My cousin says that the only horse that went over backwards on her (i.e., reared up and went backwards) was a quarter horse.
She dislikes them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, cool. I'd thought it was Mustangs or something else that all the cowboys were riding.
Which might very well be quarter horses--I'm that ignorant.
Thanks. We'll see if I get up the courage to include a horse in any of my illos.

WHAT??? She needs to focus and finish her damned story. Why do people insist on trying to have minds of their own?

At least she's still in the right fandom?
(seriously. But. WESSSSSTEEEEERN)
ION, I realized today that Cas has an addictive personality. It all makes sense now, his fixation on Dean, his taking to drugs in the bad future.

I'm going to care so much less by the time she get back round to a story I was already cooling on, though. I was hoping to kind of plow right through it.

I would definitely say that mustangs are a possibility. Cowponies are a type not a breed and back when horses were the main form of transport "grade" or non-purebred horses were the rule not the exception.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
My first thought was a grade horse, ie. not a purebred. Definitely a cow pony, small, alert, and sure-footed.
