I have to jump in here too...my favorite horse of all time was an arab/qh...he would and could do anything on the ranch...hubby even enjoyed riding him...I still have him, he's old and lame, but he'll die on the place...I do agree though, each horse is different and once the horse finds his right owner, they too are the best horse, no matter what the breed...give every horse a chance, despite the market,breed, and looks...course we have more geriatric horses here than we need...lol

It's always been interesting to me that some horses and some people can have a 'personality conflict'. We used to have a horse finding service where we put buyers and sellers together, or sold a horse for a third party. We generally knew the problem the horse had (sometimes it is more of a problem the people had) and told the interested buyer about it. (We also found out that what people DON'T LIKE, is the suprise of finding out--maybe the hard way--the problem with the horse.) If you tell them, right up front then they make the call on whether or not this problem would bother them. It is interesting what bothers some people that don't bother another one. Anyway, we found this a successful way to sell horses.

Back to the personality conflict...we have seen horses that weren't happy with one owner (and vice-versa) go on and make a great horse for another person.

Horses are ALWAYS interesting.
