Hi Janice, brio is very misunderstood quality. It
does not mean "hotness" it has nothing to do with
"macho." What it is, is a willingness to do whatever
is asked of it. A Paso with brio will go all day if
asked. They will literally die for their rider if
pushed to that point. It should not be a scary thing
and is often confused with "hotness." It is usually
something a horse is born with. Mine has very little
brio.

Yes people do generalize about races but it often
indicates a lack of understanding about the diversity
within a population. The so-called Hispanic Culture
is made of of people from many different countries and
races who happen to speak a common language. Think of
all the English speaking countries and the differences
in between the cultures there. Hispanics are all
individuals just as are persons of European descent.
I am not saying you are prejudiced. I am sure you are
not. No apology needed. I just think it is important
to look at people as individuals.
