Quick Tip #2:Breed Selection
"We used to have Arabians but when the kids came along we wanted something safer so we got into mustangs."
This quote is from an offhand comment about how a family in Texas got involved with mustangs. The point here is not to criticize Arabians but to point out that mustangs and other formerly wild horses can often make the most affectionate, trustworthy, and safe horses that can be found.
Being a good herd member is not a theoretical concept for wild horses. It is the key to survival.
