Hot-bloods: included Arabian horses, and ones bred on the euro peninsula. Called hot bloods because of their temperament: characterized by sensitivity, keen awareness, athleticism, and energy. True hot bloods usually offer greater riding challenges and rewards than other horses. Their sensitivity and intelligence enable quick learning, and greater communication and cooperation with their riders. However, they sometimes decide that a new flowerpot is really a dragon, and the rider must spend the next five minutes calming them down
Cold bloods: muscular and heavy draft horses. Work horses and carriage horses. Calm and trusting, hence easy to harness things to.
Also exist warm blood cross, used in war.
