Why is my powerful horse so gentle and calm despite her strength?

Question

Why is she so gentle? I mean she’s such a powerful horse you’d expect her to be meaner even the farrier said he’d never shoed a more calmer horse U can even ride her without any equipment just hold onto her mane or just use a piece of rope no need for a saddle she’s around 8 or 9 very people Oriented comes right up to you and follows you around the feild Everyone always comments on her temperament I’ve never met nor owned a more gentle horse why is she like this?

Horses are never mean. They are made mean. So you are very lucky to have such a gentle horse. She obviously was raised well and was always treated well and has a good character. Good breeding always plays a role.
