I don't mind Arab crosses,
also long as they don't have that strange, dished face. Just looks weird on a horse. Oo | this is my anglo-arab 
not the best picture but is shows is non-dished face. i like pure bred arabs though.
i dont have a least favourite breed as i love all horses and all colours, they all have their different personalities within the breed so i cannot judge in a way its being racist...
i cant pick one... |

Do you really dislike these horses or do you dislike what they have been made to conform too? I personally have great respect for all horses big, small, ugly pretty....whatever. Is it really the Horse you dislike???? | very well said i have been offended by some of the things people have said about my fave breeds and now ive read this it makes me feel better as most horse behaviour, breeding problems are induced by humans. Thanks :) Quote:

I must agree with Tumai alittle, it does sound as though you are all making your decisions by bad experiences with one, rather than the breed as a whole, but hey, you're just voicing your opinion!
I cant say I have a least favourite breed, none that spring to mind anyway.... I just love all horses!!! But then I'm a softy! lol | yes they are! (im in the UK) i have an anglo-arab. he is cheeky and can nip but for affection mainly, he gets a little excited at dinner time lol (today i though he was going to jump the gate). he is probably the most intelligant horse i know and one of the most spirited. he LOVES his work and will jump calmly, go in an outline without fuss but he can have a little buck to have fun at the same time. Just coz hes 50% hes not dangerous
Ive posted a pic of him 'Will...:)' on this thread | |

I have ridden some really beautiful horses that I would have been better off leaving tied up and walking. I have also ridden some horses that I would be almost embarassed to put my saddle on that were excellent horses. Pretty is as pretty does and a good horse is never a bad color. | |

Shire or any heavy breed. I don't like them because i like a light horse for show jumping. I think they look a lovely breed and our very sweet but don't like them purely for that/ | |

Why would you dislike something just because of that? Why not just say "They are not suited to my needs, but they are a very beautiful and endangered breed."
I don't know. Haha, I don't dislike any breed. | |

Why try to please everyone or be politically correct with everything you say.? It is perfectly acceptable to dislike certain breeds for legitimate or supposedly "silly" reasons. "A Paint looked at me funny, so I don't like the breed." Okay, suit yourself.
There have been no personal attacks in this thread, so people need not be offended. If I had said "I don't like Rissa's horse because it has too much hair." (Sorry Rissa, I don't mean to pick on you, you were just the post above mine. I don't dislike your horse.) Then that would be offensive.
That is the reason there are so many breeds. Everyone has different likes and dislikes. Having a least favorite breed is perfectly acceptable, as is having a one-and-only favorite breed.

But but but... based on the above logic, when someone says "I don't like Appaloosas because they are big-headed and bald"... well, its clear from my avatar and the website in my signature that I have Appaloosas, so that means they ARE saying they don't like MY horses.... so wouldn't that be offensive?
(Not to mention that none of my Appaloosas are big-headed nor bald... and I have repeatedly asked posters who say they hate apps because they are "big-headed and bald" if that means they LIKE the pretty-headed, nicely-haired apps? If they do, then obviously they don't hate the WHOLE breed, only SOME members of the breed... LOL....)
Do you see how this can get silly in a hurry? | |
