What is so good about Arabian horses?? Pros + Cons please.?
I hear most any horse can be a good horse but I hear it most often about Arabs. ?? Why? What is the big deal. My horse was a gift so i didnt pick him out. Also, what does it mean if my Arab has a cowlick in the center of his star on his forehead?? Thank you.
Now, I know for a fact just because my horse gas a cowkick on his forehead doesn't mean he needs to see the Vet. That's just plain silly, sorry. What I meant was that I hear it tells you a lot about a horse's disposition depending on if and where the horse has a cowlick located. Hope that helps make my 2nd question a bit more clear.
Oops, sorry for the mis-spelling. Darn auto complete on my phone.... : )

arabs are thorough bred and tend to be more highly strung than other horses. They’re also supposedto be faster, better at enduance riding and, depending on your tastes, many say they’re good looking. Most racehorses have arab in them but personally I think there are loads of other breeds that are worth consideration. If you’re looking for a delicate looking horse with a lot of speed but with a bit of a sensitive personality then arab is the way to go. If you’re looking for a nice and steady horse who won’t bolt on you, isn’t quite so fast but like, good tracky trousers, are comfortable and won’t let you down, maybe an arab isn’t the horse for you. As for the cowlick, I’m not sure of that so I’m gunna have to leave you blank there. Because Arabs are so sensitive and yet so willing to please there owner, you need to be a pretty competent rider/trainer but as with all horses, hard work has it’s own rewards!

the breed form does no longer recommend something. Paint isn't a breed. it extremely is a colour. you have have been given 1 / 4 horse it extremely is colored. As for Arabians....they're no distinctive than the different horse...they seem to be a horse. Any horse could have a comfortable temperment or a spooky one. Breed does not play a think approximately it. preparation does. stable or undesirable dealing with from day one. I recommend which you provide up watching horses as their breeds, because of the fact this might in basic terms placed ridiculous prejudices on your suggestions approximately varieties of horses and that's only completely incorrect. A horse is a prey animal. It thinks like a prey animal. some horses are very tuned into their prey instincts and could be extra spooky (what some people call "warm") and those only choose extra desensitizing and extra indepth preparation to assist them be calm. different horses are actually not as tuned in and might tend to think of their way with the aid of frightening circumstances. those people communicate with as "calm" So...to respond to your question....all horses "bond" (get used to you) in case you do the artwork precise. in case you do no longer do the preparation precise, then your "bond" heavily isn't that great. preparation and Temperment. that's what counts for any breed.

In terms of temperament, The Arabian is one of the 5 hot blooded horses, which means they have more sensitivity and energy. This sensitivity has manifested itself in an interesting way. You see, the severe climate required the nomads to share food and water and they sometimes even shared their tents with their horses. As a result of being such a close companion, Arabians developed a gentle, pleasant personality and a close affinity to man with a unique ability to bond with their owners. An Arabian will take care of its owner as no other horse will. It has a loyal and willing nature that is unparalleled by any other breed. Foals, for example, have no fear of man, and are usually indifferent to sudden noises. The Arabian gentleness and tractability, while originally the effect of education, is now inherited, and is observed in foals bred in a foreign environment.

Arabian horses are much stronger compared to other races. Its just a genetic thing.
It's probably because they evolved in warm regions. Where they had to use more energy to travel and they got stronger.
If he has a cowlick you should go see a veterinary. It's not a big deal but it could lead to "slackness".
