Horse temperament

A horse’s temperament is a crucial factor when buying or owning a horse. What you have destined the horse to do determines the best temperament that you require and that will lead to a more gratifying experience with the horse.

Typically, there are no good or bad horse temperaments. Each temperament is best adapted for a particular usage. Therefore, based on the temperament, certain horses will be the best for particular tasks, such as dressage, racing, show jumping, police horses or cavalry horses . Other horses will be better suited for specific riders, such as beginners or experts.

For instance, horses that are easily spooked are the best for experienced riders looking for a top quality performer. These horses move quickly and have a higher tactile sensitivity.

However, a horse for a beginner should have lower tactile sensitivity. The horse should also be less influenced and react slower to sudden or new circumstances. The horse should also not get jumpy when separated from other horses. Horses of this temperament are easier to ride, handle, or harness.

So as explained it is best to know the temperament of the horse you own or are looking to own. It can help you train them and with your relationship with your horse.

We can analyse the temperament of a horse so that you can decide what the horse is best adapted for, or we can check whether the destiny of the horse you are looking to own will match it’s temperament.
