As I recall, quarter horses were bred to be docile and hard working, whilst Arabians were bred for war. High strung would be a good quality in a war horse, methinks.

Uma is anything but DOCILE. She is cranky....bitchy and beats up bigger horses that come near her hay pile. She pins her ears at anyone who approaches except her daddy.
Guess who her daddy is????? [:)]

All thoroughbreds are dorky looking. Too-thin legs for too-big bodies. Arabians are the best looking horses IMO.
IMO Arabians are WAY too high strung. They are the French poodles of the Horse world. I'll stay with the American Quarter Horse, thank you.[:D]

I disagree here.. a high strung horse would be more likely to throw the rider when it hears nearby explosions, whereas a docile horse would be steady. Traveller was an excellent example of the latter...
EDIT: I am obviously thinking of the post-gunpowder era or warfare!!

We have absolutely the same thing here. The governement even complain about the national weather meteo administration because they did foresee 10 cm of snow, when in fact it snowed 15cm . A few days later, they realized how ridiculous it was and dropped any idea of trial (yes, you read right, trial) against the weather guys.
But as snow was once more awaited, the governement ask to 16 armored vehicules to be ready (ready to what ?).
Of course, journalist don't even know the difference between an armored vehicule (their are, it seem, plenty of kind of vehicules), and so immediately started to talk about TANKS .
And each and every people complain about the amount of snow. WHAT DOES THE GOVERNEMENT AGAINST THE WEATHER ???
I am pretty sure that each year, humanity is a bit more stupid....(and i think i deserve to be part of it )
So stupid it's funny and scary at the same time!
There's a very old saying here in the US: "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it!"
