Hotbloods does in a way refer to temperament as well. Yes not all hotbloods tend to be aggressive, I ride a few thoroughbreds that has a very docile and trusting personality. Hotbloods has influence on temperament. Hotbloods are highly strung, strong, excited, frisky, and/or “hot” meaning they are easily trainable, they are focused, intelligent, easy of the leg/forward going (not lazy animals), “hot” (meaning they like fast gates) etc. So yes that is why hotbloods and warmbloods are great, agile performance horses. You won’t see a coldblood participating in a discipline such as endurance, show jumping, eventing and so. It also has influence on the horses’ external features. Hotbloods are refined breeds, where coldbloods are stocky, robust breeds. Coldbloods such as the clydesdale are know as gentle giants. You rarely (may never) see a coldblood with the temperamental features of a hotblood. And you would rarely see a hotblood with temperamental features of a coldblood. So my opinion, I beg to differ, but being hotblooded or colblooded is a genetic feature an does have influence on a horse or breed temperament wise. You won’t get lazy hotbloods and you won’t get “hot” coldbloods.
