[QUOTE="Alan, post: 116745, member: 378"] I agree that every breed has it's exceptions to the rule, but you know as well as I do if you take 100 Arabs and 100 QH's that the majority of each group would have that breeds temperment (assuming the QH's are not appendix). But there are some exceptions to the rule. But to say lots may be a little to much. I agree to take each horse on it's merits, but a lot of horses will not show their true colors until they have been in your barn for a couple of weeks. The horse may be gentle and well mannered until "the honeymoon" is over and is comfortable in it's new enviroment, then turn into something else. Many contracts have a return policy written in where you can return the horse after a few weeks (2 or 3) for a refund. Most of the time the purchaser will pay for a Vet check upon return. This is done with horses purchased for a couple of thousand dollars, would not be as cost effective to do it on a $500 horse. JMO Alan [/QUOTE]
