I think that it totally depends on you, your ability, and especially what your ambitions with this horse are, do you just want a hack or something you can show?? As well as whats available near you!
Sorry not actually much help! lol! :)

at 150lbs just about any horse can carry you unless its a really light weight pony or something.
just work on finding a horse that suits your leval and is the right temperment that you get along with well.

What do you want to do? What level do you currently ride at? What level do you hopefully want to ride at some day?
Morabs are typically smaller-ish horses good for doing some sort of work. If not kept "entertained" they tend to find things of their own to entertain them. This is only a typical statement - each horse has its own personality :)

I love quarter horses. Our barn is almost exclusively QHs and they are sweet tempered and athletic. We do everything from barrel racing to dressage on them and they excel. They are also great on the trail.
