They have long been known to be some of the easiest stallions to handle and be around. Don't get pulled into the hot, bouncing halter horse persona that so many people equate to the arabian stallion. Mine does that and loves it, then comes right down once we leave the arena and he's just a horse again
I have never heard that Arab Stallions are in general the easiest to handle and ride. I've only had fully broken geldings and mares (Bask bred), and I wouldn't care to have any less than an experienced rider on their backs. Yet every now and again I hear of a calmer type of Arabian but I personally have never seen one. Could you direct me to more information on these Arabians? I would be very interested in seeing or at least doing some research on them.
