Paying thousands more for a nice natured horse doesn't necessarily make sense, because it's not a rare quality. I do want to point out that that guy did NOT pay for Idgies personality. I was just commenting on the fact that her personality is what sealed the deal. He might have bought an equally nice horse for the same price elsewhere had he not adored her as much as we do.JT.. I'm with you, I don't like nasty horses (or dogs for that matter) and have absolutely ZERO patience for assholes. Tess is a Mess, but she's not a bitch, just a spaz. If she were bitchy.... I wouldn't have bought her and would probably have sold her.I agree that a horses personality is what you make it, Idgie certainly isn't the same horse that she was when HnH bought her. However, I do think there is an underlying temperament in all animals and people. An animal that is genetically disposed to being "bad tempered" is probably able to be relatively nice or at the least standoffish with the right home, but in the wrong hands can be downright dangerous. A nicely temperamented animal is usually pretty hard to screw up but in a bad home they're often shy, in a good one they shine. I tend to think that temperament is mostly genetic and probably less environment but I will concede that environment does play a part.Anyway, that's my rambling take on things. lol
