What is the most heat tolerant species of horse?
Probobally the Arabian because they were originally bred to endure hot and sandy deserts. But if you are a beginner horseman or (woman), the Arabian would be a little too high spirited for you. Then I recomend the all-around Quarter Horse.
What horse can stand 12.2?
I'm assuming this question means what types of horse can stand 12.2 hands high. Hands are the most common Western measurement of the height of a horse, taken from the height at the highest point of a horse's withers, or shoulderblades. A hand is equal to four inches. 15.2 hands means a horse is 15 hands, two inches tall at the withers. Because there are only four inches in a hand, there is no such thing as 13.4 hands or 16.7 hands, et cetera. Hands only go up to .3 before skipping up to the next hand. Any horse under 14.2hh is generally considered a pony. There are some small Arabians and Quarter Horses who stand below this limit but are still considered a horse because they have horselike, and not pony-like, conformation and characteristics. The Caspian Horse and Miniature Horse also stand well below the 14.2 hand cutoff, but these breeds are considered small horses in their own right because of their slender, horselike builds. There are many breeds of pony that can stand 12.2 hands high. Some common breeds of pony include the Welsh Mountain, Pony of the Americas, and Shetlands. Any pony 12.2 hands high or smaller is considered a "small pony." 12.2 hands high is equal to 50 inches.

How high can a average but well trained Arabian horse jump?
Well that will vary from horse to horse no matter how good the training. The best way to find out is to free jump the horse and continue to raise the jump until it's clear how high the horse can jump without problems.
What special features does an Arabian horse have?
I'm no expert, but they have delicate facial features, kind eyes, a dished face and a high tail carriage.
Why wont your Arabian horse jump and clear the fence instead of knocking it down what can you do about that?
It cannot jump as high as the fence is, but you can train the horse to jump, but some horses just arent good at it, so dont push your horse to hard.

Mustangs tend to be small, less than 16 hands high, and bunchy/stocky. Basically they look like a cross between an Arabian and a Quarter Horse, although they tend to favor the Quarter Horse.
