Breed bias can become breed prejudice not only at shows but in barns also. Sadly some treat certain breeds “better” than others, many times unconsciously.

I love Arabs, but I cringe every time someone asks what breed of horse I own because of the insults often hurled. I don’t understand why rude behavior is acceptable in horse circles. Buy the breed you want and let the other person do the same.

This is an excellent article. I sincerely hope that many people will read it and are willing to
open their minds and learn some facts. It is always dangerous to speak in “absolutes” just as it is dangerous and foolish to generalize.

I fell for the “all quarter horses are sweet” one. Ha. My quarter horse tried to kill me once when I went in the pen to catch him. He’s never tried it again, but he’s incredibly unpredictable.

And of course, you immediately use this very article to perpetuate the stereotype that Arabians are “spooky.” They NOTICE things, it is their handlers freaking out with the OMG! He’s going to spook! reaction that makes things “spooky.” An Arabian is the mascot who led the Denver Broncos onto the field at the Super Bowl; that is not a task for the faint hearted

Well, a horse is a horse and I love them all, but… of course I have favourite breeds!

Thanks for mentioning the saddles. I love that one, particular when it comes to Arabian saddles – they do, of course, have some of the most varied backs of all!
