Re: Re: Type A horses/good or bad?

I have to say that I as a rider always choose horses with Type A
personalities.  I seem to have a Type C or D type of personality and when
riding a quarter horse, paint, or appy have actually put them to sleep.  I
do not like that trait im myself......but it is there anyway.  A Type A
personality in a horse, however never goes to sleep on me, but scales down
to a manageable level.  I find that after riding a Type A horse their
personality changes after a year or so, becoming more Type B.  For this
particular reason I always choose ex-race horeses, preferably ones who have
been abandoned.  They give me a better ride, and seem to be grateful for a
home..
