Re: [RC] some folks dont speak arabian/jigging horse - Truman Prevatt
Actaully of the seven horses I have - four Arabs and three walking
horses, the Arabs as far as intelligence come in 4, 5, 6 and 7. Yes
they are more sensitive, but sensitivity without the smarts to go along
is not a good mix.
If I'm lost at 2 AM on the trail and have no ideal how to get back to
camp and it is cold and I have no extra clothes and no food, I'll take
one of my walking horses any day at least I know I will live.

is a reson the Arab has the reputation it does and it's not because

No, its because many people have the wrong temprament for Arabs and are
better off sticking with a horse that isn't as sensitive and
intelligent as an Arabian horse. They end up not being able to handle
an Arab so they blame it on the breed. I say its a human problem, not
an equine one :)~
