6 New Traits!
Here they are:

 

  • Challenging
    The challenging horse will test boundaries. Not only are they usually the leader in their herd, but they may also try to lead you! It can be hard to gain their respect. With clear and well-timed aids, you stand a chance at successfully riding this horse. You’ll have to be aware of each and every signal though. There’s no slacking with them!
     
  • Spooked
    A spooky horse is typically on the fearful side. Every new environment and situation can cause them to panic. They have a strong flight response. These horses require an experienced and patient person to build up trust. Because they usually react suddenly, their riders and handlers should always be aware of their surroundings. Don’t let this type of horse catch you off guard. 
     
  • Grumpy
    Is your horse always pinning its ears? You may have a grump on your hands. This horse might show a lack of interest in people, the barn, and even other horses. Everything seems to make them miserable! You’ll frequently see these horses with pinned ears, a swishing tail, and bared teeth. Careful, grumpy horses have no problem biting or kicking out! You better have quick reflexes.
     
  • Sensitive
    Some riders consider a sensitive horse- treasure! In the wrong hands, this type of horse can mean trouble. A sensitive horse is usually forward under saddle, reacts lightly to aids, and puts effort into its work. On the other hand, they’re also quick to take offense. These horses can panic or enter a flight state if they don’t understand the aid correctly. They do best with an experienced rider. 
     
  • Easy-Going
    Perfect for beginner riders, the easy-going horse is kind and understanding. They won’t overreact to incorrect aids. In fact, they’re very forgiving! Their cool temperament allows them to handle new situations with ease. However, they tend to be on the lazier side. The easy-going horse may not have enough strut to get them in the winner’s circle at shows. They will give you immense confidence though!

 

  • Pleaser
    Loyal and hardworking, this bunch is gold to equestrians. Their traits are similar to the sensitive types. This horse is usually forward, on the aids, and reacts quickly. They don’t need to be told something twice. And while their work ethic is amazing, they can become frustrated with an inexperienced rider.  They’re so eager to please that aids need to be sharp and understandable.
