Golly, maybe I read this one wrong. I've already deleted the post it was in, 
but from what the writer wrote, I wondered if the only problem was the mare 
was with a bunch of strangers and wanted to socialize. She didn't sound mean, 
just...antsy meeting new horses in a new situation with a fairly new mom. Did 
I read it wrong?

I think Heidi is on the right track. A good book to use is "Lyons on Horses". 
YOu don't need a round pen for everything he teaches, and he has a lot of 
good stuff to teach.
It's not an "Arab" thing. It's a "horse" thing. Jordan is my first Arabian, 
and I'm telling you, I'm never going back to "those other breeds." 
Affectionate, intelligent, personable and sweet natured.......that's what I 
have come to expect from an Arabian.

Jordan (aw shucks, mom, just for that I'm going to roll my clean white hide 
in that mud puddle over there......)
