We know alot about horse psychology, dating back from when the first guy jumped on one, rather than ate him. They are pretty simple hardwired creatures. You can google horse behaviour and get some great hits. You can breed for personality traits, obviously. The TB has been bred to be competitive. Not all are. They can be extremely intelligent, in their own way.
