[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 169595, member: 2653"] No need to apologize, we can agree to disagree. Maybe I should re-state it. IMO with horses, like cattle, temperment is inherited. However, with horses, proper handling can go a long way to make a hot horse cool (as well as improper handling can ruin a horse for life) I am with the mare when all of the foals are born here. I imprint them while their still wet. The mares that I have are very "cool". I not only select them for their bloodlines, but for temperment as well; just as with cattle. The reason I was compelled to post was that too many people seem to paint arabians with the "hot" brush. I don't think it's fair to make broad statements like that. The flea bitten mare above is 15 this year. At the Arabian farm that I bought her, visitors children were allowed to climb on her bareback and she would walk around munching on grass while the kids had the time of their lives. She does pass that temperment on to her offspring, and the chesnut filly is a good example. Not bad for a hot breed. [/QUOTE]
