    "Now of everything you've ever learnt or heard about camels, why on earth would they be obedient? Well, let me ask you this. Ever tried shoeing a horse, giving it an injection or shoving a thermometer up its bottom? Your're certainly likely to come to more harm than when aiding a camel in distress - or at least in my experience. Surprisingly, camels are remarkably placid when it comes to being tied down or roped to the nearest tree whether to treat a wound or mend a pad. Loading can be endlessly frustrating when they try to rise, but they rarely try to bite or kick. Spitting is disgusting, but it beats a shattered leg bone after being kicked by a disgruntled horse."

    It is my understanding that camels are very stubborn and mean spirited. They spit when they are upset and will not co-operate unless they feel like it. Not unlike a donkey. I think a horse would be more obedient for a good trainer than a camel.

    Both are animals so both are trainable. Both are also dominant in places where they thrive and survive so I believe it's all down to the animal trainer. Common as it may seem, horses are much more domesticated, generally speaking. So in terms of domesticated numbers, horses win, no doubt.
