She had a couple of peculiar habits, but that's what makes horses fun, I think. <br /><br />I'm catching up on a couple posts here, and I just wanted to say that I don't think you dissed TBs as a breed. Your boys are exceptional individuals. ;-)SprinklerBandithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11381922004203479379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29272013.post-21208909199867671912010-01-03T03:29:12.351-05:002010-01-03T03:29:12.351-05:00Interesting analysis.

It is the first time I hear about TB meltdown, but then it is a breed which is not used here. <br />Riding school in France have reformed Trotteur, who have a wonderful mental, they are after all warmbloods, show-jumping WB, or the anglo-arab, but they are very temperemantal, very few people actually have them. They need a fairly advanced rider.<br /><br />Here in Italy, it is mainly QH, or for the English ponies of unknown origin or German, Dutch, French or Italian WB. Out of 65 horses, we have 2 TBs both for hacking/trekking, that should tell you something ....<br /><br />TB have always had a bad rep, and simply are not used. <br />I have to say that due of the TB's bad rep, and the few I know, I would prefer to buy an Arabian (endurance or racing bloodline) than a TB, they seem cleverer and better minded.<br /><br />But really this is just an impression.Murielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05491691754938320621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29272013.post-7183084780461176562010-01-02T19:04:46.345-05:002010-01-02T19:04:46.345-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29272013.post-79232875802479727662010-01-02T16:26:54.402-05:002010-01-02T16:26:54.402-05:00The longer we work with our little herds the more ...The longer we work with our little herds the more we get to know them. And the more we get to figure out each individuals personality and good points and bad. I think as long as we've got their personalities semi-figured out, working and training them should lead us to some interesting ways to get what we need to accomplish done.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29272013.post-44751456328206198912010-01-02T12:23:42.480-05:002010-01-02T12:23:42.480-05:00I'm familiar with the TB meltdown - I think yo...I'm familiar with the TB meltdown - I think you're right about it being an overload issue.
