What is a Hotblood?

Hotbloods are known to be highly sensitive horses with a very well developed sense of awareness, acute eyesight, and very great athleticism and energy. They are originated from the Arabian horse. Thoroughbred horses were a derivative of the Arabian horse by infusing them with European cavalry horses, creating the next hotblood breed that were lighter and stronger. True hotbloods provide greater challenges and rewards for riders, their intelligence and senses enable them to learn things extremely quickly and learn with better communication that their slower more mundane cousins in the coldbloods, however these traits have been carried over to the warmbloods. Because of their intelligence they can quickly develop bad habits along with good ones, and have a very low tolerance of any poor riders or trainers, as they do know when you are messing up or doing a bad job.

The Arabian hotblood is a horse known for extremely high intelligence, very good stamina, and has a high tail carriage, and ranges in all colors. It is one of the oldest horse breeds in existence today, and evidence shows that they could be as old as four thousand years. Throughout the history of the ancient world Arabian horses were used, and bloodlines of Arabian horses are found in almost every warmblood and hotblood alive today. It was a desert horse, and still is, and in ancient times was highly prized, so prized it was often brought into the tent with the nomads who kept them to keep them safe. The close relationship with human handler throughout its history has created a good working relationship between the horse and man, much like the dog has become man’s best friend, the Arabian might be man’s best horse.
