spooky arabs

[Mickie Newnam <akelakhan@earthlink.net>]

Amber, I think Arabs tend to be a bit spookier because they notice
more.  And they do seem to mellow as they encounter more things,except
when they're playing games.  My gelding Akela used to jump 3 feet
sideways, now he mostly just does a "spook in place" as John Lyons calls
it(One drawback to that is that he tried it at a fast canter last week
and almost fell on his head... Never let it be said he's boring!).  If
you don't make a big issue of it I think your horse will mellow.
