What do Oldenburg horses act like?
All horses no matter the breed have different personalities but as a general rule Oldenburgs act much the same way as any other warmblood except for the Trakehner. They tend to be calm almost to the point of being dull. They will spook but tend to calm down quickly. While they can and are pushed to their limits they rarely protest unless the treatment is unfair.

What horses are good family horses?
Arabians horses in my experience are the best family horses because they are strong, sweet, and controllable. There are actually many horse breeds that are fine family horses. You will find very nice horses from many different breeds. I have Percherons, quarter horses, mustangs, thoroughbreds, and morgans. You can find calm horses in just about any breed. Personally, I would tend to go toward lower maintenance horses, such as mustangs, quarter horses or morgans. These tend to have fewer problems with bone structure and almost zero foot problems. Thoroughbreds tend to be higher maintenance horses and can be high strung. If you are unsure of any horse, lease it for awhile before you buy.

Can you train a 9 year old Cutting horse to drive?
It really depends on the individual horse. For an ideal driving horse he is best to have a mellow and relaxed attitude, one that won't spook easily. Many times cutting horses tend to have a slight 'edge'. They need the extra energy and ambition to chase cows. If your cutting horse runs a little hot, he may not be ideal for driving.
