Well, one of the big differences we noticed with the curlies is that they think before they react. Even when they are enduring pain of some sort, they have shown us that they will suffer pain in order to keep from putting us in danger.
One example of this is when we were out brush riding in the mountains. We had probably ten riders on our curlies and I was in the lead. Apparently I stirred up a nest of yellow jackets that everyone behind me got the pleasure of riding through, lol. We had one beginner rider with us that had only been on a horse once or twice. The horse he was riding knew he was new at it and instead of running off with the rest of the horses he walked just as fast as he could while getting stung over and over. After we got out of the brush and I got a chance to check him out, that poor horse had at least twenty yellow jacket stingers on his belly and legs.
And that is a typical Curly...
