May Thought

My "over analysis" of the week. If you had unlimited training abilties, and could teach the horse you wanted, for personality, would you prefer as a starter young horse ...

*untrusting, nervous, timid
OR
*courageous, brave, will explore anything

My answer in a while, complete with a full explanation...

I think I'd prefer the later - but it might depend on what my goals were... Is this base personality, or something the horse has learned from prior handling?

Assume base personality, with minimal human training and handling.

If we're talking old enough to saddle train, then let's also assume leads via halter, cooperates with farrier, vet, etc.
