"Still spooking after all these years..

"The fact that horses have survived for millions
of years is due to their quickness to
perceive and flee from predators. Inside every
tame horse is that wild horse, and some are
closer to that ancestor than others. Think of
a couple of breeds that have a reputation for
spooking, like Arabians and Thoroughbreds.
They’re hot-blooded, highly sensitive, high
spirited and can go right brained in a nanosecond.
They are prized for their alertness
and speed of reaction and yet these are the
very things that make
them prone to spook. Linda Parelli

Det är ju självklart egentligen, Dorado är ju till en tredjedel arab och en tredjedel fullblod minst. Det lilla spanska PRE blodet har i alla fall inte på något sätt blivit dominerande ;)


"In a herd of horses, who’s the one the predator gets? When
all the others snort and take off, he’s the one standing
there going ‘Huh? Whah?’ But he’s the best horse for most
people to own!” Pat Parelli

Zapatera hade ju "high spirit" men var inte alls spooky. Jag visste att jag hade det bra men inte hur bra..


Artikeln finns i någon gammal Savvytimes och på Savvyclubsidan.
Just nu känner jag mig lite låg, har nog "overfaced" mig med hästtyp denna gång ;)
Rätt lik den jag hade som tonåring egentligen, då var det inga problem :)
