Who do you think is smarter? Mare, Stallion or Gelding?
At a recent exhibtion at Paint World, the person who was doing the cutting / reining horse seminar said that he had found that mares were the fastest and easiest to train. That they learned faster and retained it better. Kinda of a "show them one time and you are done". Said that stallions were more like adolescent boys. Talk real tough but go and pout when they are put in their place. And that geldings were the slowest to learn. What is everyone elses thoughts on this?
Just like with people, there are differences in intelligence and this generally has nothing to do with gender. We have stupid men and women in humans, and there are stupid mares, stallions, and geldings.
Each horseperson usually had a different gender they prefer, as you've seen. In my observations:
People who need consistency, reliability, and loyalty prefer geldings. A lot of general use ranch horses, children's horses, pleasure horses, and lower-level show horses are geldings.
People who need a horse with drive and focus tend to lean towards mares.
In cases where you need flash and presence, a lot of people absolutely swear by stallions.
Some people just 'click' better with one gender or another. Each gender-and each individual horse-needs to be trained and taught differently, and so some people's styles mesh better with either mares, stallions, or geldings.
None of that has anything to do with intelligence, though.

cutting, reining and music.....
Are there any no specialized kind of quarter horse ?
Are there any no specialized kind of quarter horse that is neither of cutting, or roping, and reining, or any discipline?
Quarter horses are very versatile horses... most are bred for specific jobs.. different blood lines are better at a certain job than others. Horses bred for barrel racing, game classes, cutting cattle... are bred for a smaller size, and for speed and agility. Horses bred for dressage, hunters and jumpers are bred for height (16 to 17 hands) long legs and agile bodies... A hunter type would not be able to run barrels as good one bred to run barrels.... nor would a barrel horse be as fluid of a mover as a hunter under saddle or dressage horse
There are some that are just very athletic (as some people) and can excel in several different areas. The quarter horse is no longer recognizable as the short stocky horse of 20 years ago. As a matter of fact, some have so much Thoroughbred in them it may be hard for most people to identify it as a quarter horse!
Yeah! I like how she is keeping training in short sessions. That will allow Tango to learn to move more correctly without tiring him out or making him sore. She seems very good about rewarding him with the give when he gives. (That was one of the hardest things for me to learn as a rider – if he softens, you soften.) This will get easier over time as his muscles develop. He will learn to love working in a round frame.
If his gaits are feeling less bumpy, you are probably on the right track. When the horse is round and using his hind end, he takes more of the bounce for you. I can't sit my warmblood's trot if he is not round, but when he is round, I can.
I'll bet that soon she will have you using your seat for turns and transitions. When you really learn how to use your seat, you will learn how to invite him to bring his back up which will help him to use his hind end and stay round in front.
For deep cuts that are fresh, stitches from the vet may be in order. If the cuts are too old or not able to be stitched, keeping them clean is paramount. I would wash them once or twice per day and put a wound dressing like Wound Kote on.
