You should see some of the Quarter Horses hunters/jumpers and dressage horses that I ride. Why, some of them are more hot-headed than some of the Arabs that I've ridden! In fact, the Anglo-Arab mare that I once owned behaved 10 times better than my Quarter Horse does now...LOL! No, I know how rambuctious the halter Arabs can be. I was at a Regional Arab show practicing judging once in Raleigh, NC, and a darn Arab stallion reared up, fell backwards, and rolled over. He was the most correct horse in the class though, and in halter, you know that it doesn't matter if they act up so long as they are still long enough for the judge to get a good look at them. He stood right back up as if nothing had happened and won the class!
I too like those bright burning eyes that Bernardini has. He is a very mature and regal looking horse. His eye reminds me of the Slew's eye. I think that Bernardini epitomizes the "look of eagles". I'm also pretty sure that he is probably a mean and rambuctious horse, but highly intelligent. He sure is beautiful and can run though which is all that matters. Champion screams out at you when you lay eyes upon him.
