Re: Breed bashing

["Tamara Jane Habberley" <tamarahabberley@lineone.net>]

funnily enough so am I for different reasons.  Why are people so dumb as to
think what suits one horse, or make one horse behave in a certian way will
affect another one in the same way?

Snmoe horses react to pain or abuse by fleeing (hence flightyness) and some
by becoming passive. I dont think thats breed specific, just personality
specific/

IMHO  if some one says a horse is 'dumb' because it seems insensative to its
enviroment  I belive its often that that horse has totally tuned out of the
situation to save its sanity.
