Well, I like Arabs. I know...sick individual. Start looking at all the factors with this horse. What does he eat? How much turnout time does he get. Is it possible to keep him on pasture. What kind of groundwork has been done with him. Does he have good ground manners? Does he lunge well in side reins? Has he been driven? I think that training is basically trying to get the horse to think. If we can get them (esp. one like him) to slow down and think, rather than just react, half the job is done for us. What area are you located in?
