I think we had a similar thread before but its always interesting to see what the term 'sharp' means to different people. I always took it to mean something very sensitive and that could be reactive for no great reason. so my old horse as a youngster who was bombproof in traffic (if I thought he might be an arse I would take him out on the roads) but who was capable of some speedy moves-ie sideways and then backwards at the same high speed lol. Who wouldn't bat an eyelid at an articulated timber lorry but who would spook and spin at a large rock. He was mega responsive and way more athletic than me-moved and jumped for fun as it were. He was one of the boldest horses I've ever met -he simply wasn't scared of anything (except rocks) he could see but was noise reactive when he was younger.
I wouldn't describe my Fell as sharp-although he is forwards and responsive. The Exmoor can be sharp however.
But then I was once given a horse to ride that was described as sharp-but I found her anything but! So my definition is a bit woolly and possibly incorrect-what does it mean to you?
