I guess I’ve never really liked the way Arabians looked… they seem a bit extreme in their shape, to me.

I think horse people in general are passionate and with that comes a stubborness on ideas about that passion.. can lead to rather strange behaivor..

although horse people can also be hard working and down to earth..

Oh, I know. I know some very nice horse people. But I’ve also run into some very evil ones, and sadly, those have been the majority. My old boss was one of the latter.

People of all types can be fit into either category though. 😉

I’ve had more than a few horse people be nothing but rude to me in the line of my work, because I didn’t have one myself. I think they were the elitists.

Arabs, though, are pretty to look at as long as you don’t have to handle them.

Most arabs are very nice to handle. Not goofy or high strung. It is the “show” horses that tend to be crazy, can you blame them? Most are kept in a 10×10 foot stall 23hrs a day in blankets or a sheet. Taken out for a training session and grooming and bang back in that stall. Never allowed to be a horse 🙄

I used to volunteer at an Appaloosa horse farm (all they had were appys) in exchange for riding lessons. Every horse in the place was 1/2 Arabian and sweet as could be.

There are two at the farm my husband works at and they are both loopy.. they get to be outside all day no restrictions against being horses. Though when you go to ride them they are head up every other minute glaring wide eyed into the woods.. everything is scary to them. Then I get them all collected and calm and they do it again.. no noises, nothings changed, just nuts.

As someone who rode (but never owned) horses during her “tween” years over on the real rich side of town I totally know what you mean. Man were some of those girls brats.

Just last week we were pulling into the driveway of my husband’s parent’s house and there was this 12-14 year old girl on a arabian walking by. We saw her early and drove real slowly as not to spook the horse, then waited to turn into the driveway as she and her horse slowly walked past the entrance. You should have seen her turn her nose up at us! I knew she was riding an arabian before I even looked at the horse’s dished face, lol.

I owned 20 Arabians at one time. I showed on the national level, and even took them to trail rides. I’ve been around many breeds of horses. I have to say, just as with dog breeds, it’s not the horse breed, it’s the handler. I wouldn’t have minded to have a gaited horse or even a mule, just for a little variety. But I loved and miss each Arabian I had. My mom had to sell all of them because they couldn’t take care of the horses by themselves anymore. My heart is empty.
