Which breed of horse is healthiest?

How healthy a horse is is not based on the breed. It just depends on if it is taken care of. Some breeds seem unhealthy because each do have different configuration and needs. But really, it is the horse itself, not the breed itself. To keep a horse healthy use it for what it does. Like, some little pony can't be expected to gallop like a Thoroughbred. Give a horse a loving and fun place to live, and it will be healthy.
