Temperament

[SeptemberSapphire]

Hello all,
I'm new here and I have a question about the temperament on my mare. Her temperament says bombproof. Is that good or bad?

[Alaina]

It depends. Temperament can affect how well a horse does in shows. If you want to do things like racing you'll want a high strung horse but other disciplines that require a calmer horse will want calmer temperaments.

Does that mean she's really calm?

As for more generally what bombproof means, it basically comes from saying a bomb could go off next to the horse and it wouldn't spook or freak out.
