What do you guys think about Thoroughbreds and Arabians?

Question

It's so annoying how people just think right of the bat that TB and Arabians are the worst horse and oh, don't buy one of them because he will go crazy or something like that. What kind of horse do you guys like and do you agree with me???!!!!

Answer 1

in my opinion race horses(TB) are the best along with quarter horses and paints. now as for an Arab? i think they suck and r ugly. Camel jockeys dont know how to ride there own horses so the sent the ugly and crazy things here. I guess a camel rides better. but if your looking for grace and looks while performing it would have to be the quarter horse and TB!

Answer 2

It may be annoying, but just remember that people who have those views are usually ignorant of the training aspect and mentality of TBs and Arabs.  There are a lot of people who claim themselves to be horsemen and are unable to figure out how to ride these "crazy" but magnificent creatures in harmony.  

Answer 3

Thats what I used to think, that TB's are crazy racing horses and all were like that. Then my mother bought one and he's as slow as anything! He hates going fast! I've yet to experience the Arab but the one's I've seen are quite flighty but I suppose I shouldn't sterotype them all as that, just give them a chance and don't judge.

As for my fav breed... Would have to be an Aussie Stock Horse or a Quarter horse.

Who cares what they think?  They're the ones who are missing out on the great horses.  That means there's more available for you and me!

Both Thoroughbreds and Arabians are great!  They're some of my favorite breeds.  The ones I have worked with are not as spazzy as people think.  They're very well behaved and they learn extremely quickly.  They're very smart and willing to do what you ask.  They'll go forward when you ask them to.  I hate those dead quarter horses you get on and they won't go anywhere.  One of my favorite horses was this cute little arabian that I learned on... she was old (older than me!), she wouldn't hurt a fly, and she was still really willing to go when the rider asked her.

I'll take a horse that needs a little work to control any day over a horse that won't listen and go forward when I ask.  Arabians and TBs are great!
