you know, we all have our relatively limited experience with horses and every time I say it it makes lots of people MAD but I have known and ridden with maybe fifty arabians and of those only one was real gentle and quiet and laid back. I have ridden with maybe 75 paso finos and i have never met one that was sweet and laid back. I have ridden with literally hundred of walking horses and any of them from modern show bloodlines where completely hyper schitzos. (generator, pusher).
This is my experience. So if I went looking for a horse to buy for me, I would not go looking for a paso fino or arab or modern bloodline walker. I would not go for an imported icelandic unless I could see it was real nice and calm and I rode it a few times. jmo Janice-- yipie tie yie yo
