I have found this to be true, some horses are just a certain way, scared or calm, and I have seen it in them when they are young. It can be modified somewhat, but some are definitely easier than others. Some are naturally more people oriented, some are naturally not so afraid of things like tarps or trailer loading, some learn to lead more easily than others. I'm comparing some in my mind that have a parent in common, were born in the same place, with the same exact handlers, they have some similarities, but I can also see inherent differences. I am sure full brothers and sisters can come out totally different. Kim
