Welcome Hilary!

If you have had quarter horses, then the biggest difference you will probably notice is how smart and high strung your new horses are.* You just need to be a little more vigilant when working around or with them. They are also more sensitive, so they are going to notice things you do moreso than other horses. By being calm and consistant you will help them to relax. When you do have to discipline them (and you will!) be very deliberate and calm.

* I am not saying Quarter Horses are not smart. They are! But Quarter Horses have cow sense or common sense. Arabs have a different type of smarts. More intellectual. Kind of like the rocket scientist who always gets on the freeway going the wrong way.
