Horse trainers, horse owners, veterinarians and other people who spend time around horses usually find it important to explain, and to reiterate, if necessary, the idea that the animals are not all alike. Each horse has a distinct personality type. In the wild, this variation among individuals helps to determine each one’s place in the herd, which in turn helps the herd function. For example, horses with more fearful and shy natures approach other horses, especially the leader of the herd, warily. This kind of attitude reinforces the leader’s status and makes it easier for that horse to keep the entire herd safe. A horse’s personality and sense of its own rank also greatly affect the way it interacts with humans. The kind of horse that is tentative around other horses, for example, would be more submissive and, therefore, well-suited to an inexperienced rider. A dominant, leader-type horse, on the other hand, would probably come across as stubborn and dour—and, therefore, would not be a good match for a beginner.
In line 2, reiterate means:

• change
• complicate
• repeat
• hear
