I think QH's and Apps just tend to be more
 > stoic and tolerant of dumb people, not dumb themsleves.

I've been advising all the beginners who've been calling on my aged 
Anglo-Arab (just because he is listed so cheaply of course) to go look at 
QH's. The last thing my older, retired pro needs is some neophyte going 
"bouncy-bouncy" on his back. What a beginner should be looking for is a 
cool-blooded, deadbroke, seasoned, bomb-proof (okay, , you get the picture) 
safe and probably expensive Quarter Horse type mount (w/not too much TB) 
that will tolerate a certain amount of "bouncy" and off-centered, unbalanced 
riding. Part of my agreement with my horses is that I will NOT sell them to 
overweight (or out of shape) riders who are still using the reins to balance 
themselves.

add value to her two sale horses listed below.)
