Sorry I have been quiet lately.  I lost a loved one so I have not quite done some of my works.  Today we are going to explore the last type of horse breed.  The Work Horse consists of 2% of  the population of all the horses on earth.  They are exceptional horses and that is why you will not see them everywhere.  They are nicknamed "hot blooded" because they are tough, ready to go and they never say "die."  This kind of breed are the hardest to train.  It takes between 6 to 12 years to train them.

The War Horse is built for endurance.  These are the types of horses used in the olden days by Roman gladiators.  They used them to go to war.  In the present day, they are used by the Cow Boys in films.  At the same time, these are the horses used to play polo.  Sometimes, the man playing polo would miss the ball and hit the leg of the horse, but the horse will keep on going because of the endurance that is inbuilt in him.  Emotionally, the war horse is very strong under stressful conditions, so no matter the stress, the hunger, the thirsty he will still match on.  During war, if the rider is shot, the War Horse would not run away and leave his master lying on the ground.  A well trained War Horse would retrieve his wounded master and pull them safely home.

Our lives can very well be compared to that of a War Horse.  We have characters that match the War Horse.  These are the people who are well trained and endure even when they encounter odd situations.  A  man who has the characteristics of a War Horse would not run away from the company where he is employed because there is a crisis.  Therefore, talk of loyalty then you are talking about a War Horse type of character.  Men of valor,unshaken and go for what they believe in.  Such characters are emotionally tough such that they are  not shaken by criticism or slander.  They are not doing things for show or pleasure like we saw the characteristics of Pleasure and Show Horses.
