Help
I took my mare to trainer 6 years ago.
He said : The defiance between training a Arab and a QH is simple. When you
punish a QH he says "DUH" When you punish an Arab he says"What did you
do that for?". And I show Arab once and go on to the next step. With the
QH I go over step one every time I work with him, just to be sure he
remembers.
And I agree. Arabs are the smartest horses
around,all I see is they don't put up with being miss used. And why should
they we don't.

This cracked me up. I once asked my Schutzhund dog
trainer who worked with both my border collies (the Arabs of the dog world)
and the "other" protection breeds like Rottweilers and german shepherds what
he thought the differences were and he said the other dogs got schooled almost
every day, always got a review session before moving on to something new and
were introduced to new things very gradually. He said with the border
collies, he just handed them a copy of the rule book. <g>
