I tried 3 diff saddles , blankets, bareback & pad.

she's very snorty and hyper sensitive to all kinds of things.
snorts, whistles, blows, prances like a stud almost sometimes

The vet just blames it on the Arabian blood from her dam

I read a book by Linda Tellington Jones that talked about the telling the personality of a horse by the features of the horses face and the profile of the head.
well her theory really fit my mare.

[Getting In TTouch: Understand and Influence Your Horse's Personality by Linda Tellington-Jones with Sybil Taylor
By analyzing the shape of your horse's head,eyes, ears, chin, jowl, and profile, you can learn the innate personality of a horse and understand how to improve your horses's performance. Actual case histories are explored with 21 horses in over 200 photos and 136 drawings. PB 178

my mare-
3 uneven & offset swirls on the forehead
.

tapered defined nose, chin and tight lips
eyes will narrow when she is stressed and have tightness around them
nice defined ears but tapered to a point
{basically these all point to an unstable, easily excitable & unreliable personality.}

my old gelding had a nice centered swirl, nice shaped but squarish nose and chin, soft relaxed mouth, soft wide ears, soft relaxed eyes
