Maximus

Meet Maximus our newest addition to Crazy Creek. This half Arabian half quarter horse is 23 but don't tell him because he really thinks he is 15. He does it all trail, jump, poles, barrels and he loves it. His best friend on the farm is Miss Holly Kay. He has great ground manners and is just like a extra size Sally personality and all. He will be replacing Kiwi since Kiwi is moving to her families home this month. I hope you all love Maximus (like on Tangled) as much as we do.

 

Quarab are known for their intelligent and spirited disposition. For centuries, Arabian horses lived in the desert in close association with humans. For shelter and protection from theft, prized war mares were sometimes kept in their owner's tent, close to children and everyday family life. Only horses with a naturally good disposition were allowed to reproduce, with the result that Arabians today have a good temperament. On the other hand, the Arabian is also classified as a "hot-blooded" breed, a category that includes other refined, spirited horses bred for speed. Like other hot-bloods, Arabians' sensitivity and intelligence enable quick learning and greater communication with their riders; however, their intelligence also allows them to learn bad habits as quickly as good ones, and they do not tolerate inept or abusive training practices. Most Arabians have a natural tendency to cooperate with humans, when treated badly, like any horse, they can become excessively nervous or anxious, but seldom become vicious unless seriously spoiled or subjected to extreme abuse. There you have it a little about our Quarab (Quarter-Arabian) Maximus!
