Hi Kenda,
       Yeah! Another Arab person!  As far as temperament, the polish Arabians 
I was and am acquainted with seem to enjoy working for me or whatever I am 
doing with them seems to be to their liking.  Talko's mother who's primarily 
polish could really be a beautiful Arab trotting around, especially if she 
decided it was 'catch me if you can' time.  But under saddle, nothing more 
than willingness.  I have never raised any part Arabs, but I did meet someone 
at our Charles County Fair 3 years ago who had nothing but the greatest to 
say of them.  I do not do much riding anymore (no tack as yet), but I hope to 
ride at least occasionally in a few months, provided I am able to purchase 
the necessary tack.  But, for now, Talko and his quarterhorse stablemate KC 
are living life pretty easy and appear to be just enjoying their lives.  Good 
Luck in your riding quests, I'm certain you'll be great!  Oh, by the way, 
liking horses like you do, if you have not read 'Monty Roberts, The Man Who 
Listens to Horses' it is an excellent book for any animal lover.  Have Fun!
