[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 50142, member: 9"] Yes, I've heard that those breeders that only do the show circuit (trying to win those politically influenced ribbons...lol) and keep their horses in pampered areas, somehow create horses that don't do well in the real world. While stressful to horses and owners, the show scene is a rather predictable and protected environment. On the trail, well...anything goes and can happen. Very good riders and sane, predictable horses needed. We don't do shows...think it is a waste of money in the short term or long haul. Shows are an ego-enhancing trip for those breeders. The very few that end up with Champion of Champion mares, stallions, and geldings do make money; however the rest of the world (as us too) has a very expensive and satisfying "hobby" (even though our purpose is "for profit" operation). Our TWH horses are more "stable" and calm than are our Peruvians in the pasture, etc. Under saddle, both breeds are about the same as far as riding, personality, etc. The Peruvians still have a lot of the old "Spanish Fire" in their blood and definitely want to GO! lol.
