Although in all fairness to bricks, I've never seen one of them spook at their own shadow. There are plenty of smart Arabs out there, but IMO no more so than any other breed. Every Appy I've known bar one was a bucker, and that one was a cute little 3yo with an attitude - I liked him, but I have no doubt he could and would learn to buck under saddle if he thought it would get him out of work. I keep inviting the Appy fans I know to convert me, but so far no one's come through.
