Standardbred





Standardbred

A fast learner and reasonably solid student. The Standardbred is very obedient. But seems not to seek human attention. He is easy-going and compliant.

He will usually give in and do what is asked of him, even if he doesn't want to.

Not particularly reactive or spooky, the Standardbred has a low flight impulse and a low self-protection impulse as well. If he's frightenend or hurt, he's likely to stand there and look at you.
