Ha........ my mare didn't get the name "horse from hell" for her calm 
disposition. But hey I like em hot.

There are some calm TWH's and some calm Arabs. The big difference I've 
found is how the non-calm ones tend to act. The non-calm TWH will react 
by pulling your arms off running hell bent for leather chasing the horse 
in front. The non-calm Arab will jump from one side of the trail to the 
other getting away from all the spooks. I perfer to have to life weights 
to hold back the runaway than to worry about burnt logs, frogs, etc.
