Arabs

I was reading an article that said Arabs are one of the most loyal breeds of horse and that they rely on humans just like devoted dog breeds, such as border collies. They also devote themselves to keeping you safe. Apparently they can read your mood so if you are happy and relaxed they will be.

Having just got an Arab I was thinking of a case where this theory could be true and suddenly realised that every time I feel nervous when I ride Solli he goes into "Nanny mode", which is very slow and steady to make me feel secure. Another case is whenever I ride Solli out in front he is a lot more spooky, when he is behind another horse, this is because he is a lot more alert as he wants to keep the rider safe from any sudden dangers. It is this that makes me conclude that Arabs are one of the most loving and fantastic horse breeds, who unfortunately are mostly given a bad name for being protective and are often in it for love, not for food, which is not the case in some breeds.
