What breed/s do you own and do they live up to their stereotypes?

[Paint it Lucky]

Mine is a dutch warmblood, he has a lovely, friendly inquisitive nature, he is very loving, sharp and willing to ride, he can get a bit excited and tense but is never naughty, he is also very athletic and talented. Don't know what the stereotype for this breed is, other than my nutrition lecturer told me they're prone to navicular! Well he hasn't got it yet and hopefully never will (#touches wood frantically#)!

The quarter horses are always 100% on the stereotype- very calm but catty and quick at the same time. The american paints vary a little more. I have found some to be exactly like a quarter horse, while some are like a painted thoroughbred only they didn't have any thoroughbred in them.

Shire x appy - scared of everything but as gentle as it comes, if a little over excitable. Other than gentle not much shire there but I don't know whay an appy stero type is to compare. Can anyone enlighten me?

Appy's are supposed to be stubborn, dominant, and mischievous. They were raised by American Indians, so they have a lot of wild spanish horse and arab blood in them making them athletic. Very hardy breed though.

ok then he can have have those bits too, always put that down to being a lad but stubborn Hardy and mischievous is him to a T! not quite athletic though
