[RC] Horse personalities - Sheila_LarsenMike I humbly disagree with your analysis of the book. I don't think it was superficial and simplistic and that she gave various examples of horses within the different personality groups that were within a category but had varying ranges of those traits. I am far from a novice person/rider and believe that this book can give one insights on choosing a horse that meshes more with ones personality. With that said, I do agree that getting horses outside of one's comfort zone forces one to grow. But having a very challenging horse to deal with I also know the value of having a horse that is easier for me to work with and why I have not don't endurance rides (or not many) since owning her. Sometimes I would just like to go out on a ride without such a challenging personality. I do agree with you that they are various, complex and subtlies within horses but I also think that there are categories of basic personalities. “Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.” Mark Twain F'^qƬzqwnxi0ݺqߢ*'>bs Zgi0ݺqbun+R{.n+ 0zwnzwyƦhڲbuuy& |
