She also hated her rider falling off and would not go forward well until she new you could ride well! Another querky thing about her was she mothered other animals. She would steal newborn lambs and calves off their mothers and take them away!! These newborns would follow at her feet!!! She was also very fierce when we took the babies away from her!!
Oh Carmen - thank you! I do love Arabs. (It's just that I'm tall - and they're usually 14.2 hands.) They're agile, tough, super-endurance. And now those are beautiful heads ... It's interesting what you say about the black horse spirit. I hadn't noticed it, but will pay attention. That mare reminds me of a cat I had, who adopted and nursed other babies, taught them all how to hunt. It's so funny that the mare didn't like to losing her riders, or even having any wobbly ones!

peace
