This is exactly my experience, too, with my horses.  Beamer and Beau are 
pretty unflappable on the trail, except Beamer spooks at drainage grates, 
and Beau doesn't like Arab eating rocks.   They spook momentarily, but they 
always get their brains back.  Unless Beau is in race mode, the other horses 
don't agitate them except for some trash-talking from Beau.  Drako, on the 
other hand, will react to a horse a mile away and being with a babysitter 
horse does not make a bit of difference, and the drama just seems to 
escalate.

There are several Bey Shah horses out there on the endurance trail doing 
very well.  My mare has a Bey Shah grandson that has an excellent 
temperament.  He's Ildi's horse - Maryben's junior.   The stallion who I 
bred my mare to was the only purebred Arabian registered as an ISR/Trakehner 
improvement sire in North America at that time - and was 100 day stallion 
tested out of the Marbach stud in Germany.  So that side of the genetic 
equation counts in this horses' dam.

Bey Shah horses also seem to take a long time to mature, both physically and 
mentally.  Drako grew an inch as a 7 y.o. and just this year started to get 
a real horse looking body, instead of being long an lanky.

I like the concept of the AHA and the sport-horse competitions.  Just wish 
that was more predominant part of the organization.

Drako is linebred, too, out of a Bey Oro daughter by a Bey Shah son.  Beau 
is heavily linebred to Skrownek -which shows up in his Russian, Crabbet and 
Polish lineages....  got that dippy back thing, but he's pretty athletic.  I 
think Beamer's dam's Polish lines doesn't have as much Skownek so she has a 
pretty nice back.
