Wow! Small world :) I have had a few horses (owned and trained) that were related to my Cassy. I think it is fun when that happens, even if it is a distant relative. Sometimes they have similar personality traits and I have to wonder if it's genetic... :)

I am so glad to hear that! What did you do at that barn? :)

I so agree! Many horses have different mindsets. Like you wouldn't expect a Border Collie to be as calm and relaxed as, say, a Golden Retriever, you wouldn't expect to work with an Arabian the way you would work with a Draft or Miniature horse. :) On top of it, each horse is different personality-wise. I love meeting people who really understand Arabians!

Wow! I love Arabians, and I am so glad to hear you and Replay are reaching for the stars! I think Arabians tend to have a very unearned bad reputation; they are such stellar horses! My late mare (in my profile photo) was Crabbet and Polish bred. She was my best friend for the last years of her life.

Welcome to Barnmice, Dr. Patti! Arabians are fabulous horses in my opinion! How long have you and Replay been training together? :)
