If he doesn’t want to do something you can’t make him! He may do it, like loading in the trailer todAy, but only when he is ready. It took us an hour and a half to get him loaded. He normally is not like this but he also normally has another horse with him. Once we stopped trying to force him to go in, and we’re exhausted from trying, he decided to load on his own. He may have some Arabian blood in him!

I’ve always said there are no two more versatile breeds then the Morgan and Arab, and they obviously have very similar temperaments. I’ve been with Morgans my whole life and am heading to the Morgan Grand National for the first time next week, I’ve recently had some experience with an Arab, I’m glad to see how similar they really are. Thanks for this article!

I have a 25 year old Arabian that has been with me for 22 years. He is still a marvelous, intelligent, amazing horse to ride. I am as thrilled to get on his back today as I was when he was 3. I was blessed to add a 2 year old to my family last year. I am just getting him under saddle. It is challenging and rewarding to work with a young Arab again. You forget how quickly they learn and how willing they can be. I am constantly coming up with new lessons to keep him challenged. It takes a special kind of horse person to appreciate the Arabian. I feel so lucky to be one of them.

Most people just don’t ‘get it’! They truly are the thinking horseman’s horse

I have had Arabians for most of my my life and agree wholeheartedly that while you “could” force one to do what you want, it’s definitely not the way to deal an arab,

Having just started riding again after many months off, and on a new horse that has also had many months off, it has been an absolute pleasure to see us both come together in understanding. We’re both rough around the edges and it has caused some confusion, but when you ask the right way and suddenly the horse understands, a reward is a million times more effective than a punishment for this beautiful breed.

They are very perceptive and kind and tend to “catch on” very quickly to whatever they consider fun and pleasing to you. Amazing horses!

As a team with an in tune handler they will do anything and go anywhere for you .

Everything you say is totally correct. I lost the fight I stupidly decided to start. We did float eventually but this was meant to land in my newsfeed this afternoon because I was the one who needed to be taught a lesson. Thanks again.

More intelligent, more sensitive, more athletic, more social, more fun and they take more from the human to ride them. My Arabian brings out the best in me, and that makes me better for the rest of the herd.
