I've ridden rough-riding Arabs and smooth ones.  I now subscribe to the 
Julie Suhr Rules for Senior Riders, The Three S-es....Short (14.2 hands), 
safe (no spook, no rear, no buck, no runaway) and smooth (which my new horse 
is.)  Jess travels low to the ground....no spring, no loft, no jack-hammer. 
VERRRY nice.  There are smooth Arabs and there are rough ones.  I will never 
again buy a horse without being able to ride him first, which is exactly 
what I did with the previous two I had during a 5-year period.
