- I would like to add not to forget the lowly Xbreds. I own a TWH/Arab who possesses (in very ample quantities) all the qualities that this person is looking for in a trail/hunting horse.

- We have a 9 year old extremely lovable xbred (lab & maybe collie/spaniel). He rarely barks and is very well behaved. It is very heartbreaking for us to see him become so distressed when a thunderstorm is looming and he absolutely goes into "ga-ga land" when a storm is in process.
