I own arabs, I love Arabs, but please, they are
not any different if being smacked around as my Walkers or my Rocky
Mtn.
I know this is an Arab inclined list, but
to infer that other breeds may not be as sensitive is a form of equine
bigotry, eh?
I hope you didn't mean it that way, but for
those of us trying to compete in this sport with non arab horses, and doing very
well I might add, it is disheartening to constantly have the Arabians held in
such a "higher" esteem than our hard working, hard competing,intelligent,
sensitive gaited breeds.

You will notice that I specifically stated that the horse we hit over
the head was NOT an Arab. I'm quite sure that I wouldn't do this to
an Arab, since they have, in varying degrees, a great deal more
sensitivity. My post was not a recommendation, merely a recollection
of something that worked in the past with a different breed of
horse.
