Not since his first year here would I consider Thunder either high strung or squirrely. He's actually pretty mellow and laid back - but with energy to go. Seriously, you should hang out with some good ones. Thunder isn't the only one either - we purposely looked at him because the little Arab mare Emily was taking lessons on at the time was such a sweet thing. When we first brought Thunder here, we thought we'd screwed up, but within a couple of months of meeting Shirley, he was as nice as Emily's little lesson horse had been. A girl Emily used to do drill team with also had a very sweet and mellow little Arab, not even 14H. I don't know many Paso Finos, so I can't say. I do know one that is really sweet and mellow.
