Are there any Arab people on here?

[HashRouge]

I've spotted one or two Arabs at the bottom of people's posts so I'm guessing there are . I've been lurker for a while but haven't posted a lot (I'm shy ). I own a slightly overweight and unfit Arab mare called Lou . She's 14.3hh, nearly 18 and light grey, with a few freckles and a darker mane and tail. My parents bought her for me when I was 11 and she was 8, so we're now approaching the 10 year mark, and she's brilliant! Having a bit of time off now though while I'm at uni, although my sister does ride her from time to time and even my mum has had a few goes, even though she's never ridden before.
Would love to see your Arabs/ hear about them

P.s. hope I posted this in the right place!

Hi! Welcome to the forum!

I have an anglo-arab mare who is my riding horse

and my arab filly.

Here they are together with my retired TB mare.

 

[CatStew]

I've got half an arab, does that count?

 

[Meowy Catkin]

I've got half an arab, does that count?

Hell yeah!!!!!

 

[Abbeygale]

Hello!

TBH I don't come on here much anymore - but I am an Arab person!!

I have a pure egyptian boy - Roo:

And also a Welsh cross anglo arab - although I swear the only bit of her is araby is her tendancy to having scatty moments every now and then LOL!!

Abi:

I've had Abi 6 years, and Roo 2 and a half years - and they are both absolute stars

 

[Azmar]

Hello Hannah! Nemo Cissie and me are here. Hope all is well with you all x

 

[bexandspooky]

I have one!!

I have no good photos of her though!! I got her last year and she was quite amazingly overweight, and is still slimming down - I wont embarrass her by showing off her wobbly bits so will leave it at this!

 

[Abbeygale]

Oh and for any real Arab fans - I do apologise for Roo not having "proper" flowing mane and tail - I love him for the fab little horse he is - but soooo cannot be doing with dangly manes and tails everywhere LOL

 

[MissTyc]

I have two arab crosses, an arab x cob and an arab x TB, both of them "accidents" at local sales (whoops)

 

[CatStew]

Hell yeah!!!!!

Even if the other half appears to be a cross between a moose and a giraffe? Lol

 

[Dexter]

I have one who is papered as 50% arab, but is more likely 75%. Shes teeny, being 14.2hh on her tippy toes, but she looks just like a chunky arab. Someone posted videos and pics of old fashioned arabs from years gone by and she was their double.

I adore her, shes the most expressive horse I've ever owned, shes even converted my sister to ponies! Shes a real life Princess Pony, complete with shampoo advert hair flicking tendencies Shes also bombproof safe for even the most novice rider and jumped her way to JA. Shes been a broodie for a few years but is about to start her second career as my dressage pony. I'd have another one in a heartbeat!

 

[Meowy Catkin]

Yep, even if crossed with a deranged elephant like beastie.

 

[Katieaston]

I also have half an arab. He swaps between Arab and thoroughbred depending on mood and cercumstance

 

[PucciNPoni]

<--------------------------------does my pb count?


I'm not an "Arab person" per se, but I do like them! I quite like lots of breeds but I do love my boy particularly lots!

 

[hostess99]

I'm desperately looking to buy a part of one does that count! lol

 

[CatStew]

Polly is an Arab x cob, she's got the hot headedness of an arab and the stubbornness of a cob. Shes a very clever little horse though and loves jumping

 

[Umbongo]

I had 2 part-breds on loan and loved them! Also ridden a few anglo arabs.
Would love a full arab if I could get one big enough

Arab x New forest

Arab x Welsh

 

[gingerarab]

I have a 24 year old and still going strong ! ginger arab, straight eygptian by Kais, have had him since he was 6 months old and love him dearly will have to work out how to post a pic

 

[Headpiece]

I have one too.

Hes a very nice boy, as long as he is kept amused and taken out for rides where he can nose about watching others about their own buisness.

 

[cindars]

I've got a sweet arab mare only had this one coming up to 2 years but have had one other pure bred and a much loved part bred.

 

[Perissa]

I've got a purebred gelding called Dennis - in my signature pictures and a pard bred stallion called Morris. He also a registered miniature horse!

 

[HashRouge]

Ooh lots of replies, I feel very popular
You all have very lovely horses, it's nice to hear about them

Hello Hannah! Nemo Cissie and me are here. Hope all is well with you all x

I didn't realise you were a member here! Lou is doing very well, much better now her feet have been sorted out. I want to try her without shoes altogether once I've graduated (only 18 months now!). Hope you are all doing well

Oh and for any real Arab fans - I do apologise for Roo not having "proper" flowing mane and tail - I love him for the fab little horse he is - but soooo cannot be doing with dangly manes and tails everywhere LOL

I think they can look quite smart with pulled manes, although Lou's is long atm. She had it pulled a few years ago though when she was doing more work (and had a nicer neck!!) and I loved it.

Erm, also, can anyone tell me how to attach photos? I can't seem to work it out!

 

[Paint Me Proud]

my boy is an anglo-arab cross (sire was anglo-arab and believe dam had some arab in her too)

 

[Cazza525]

We've got a very sweet part bred homebred....rising 19. She's able to turn her hoof to anything, but excels at endurance. Stubborn, much loved and sweet.

I also have a part bred I bought. She's only small, a little neurotic at times, but again very sweet natured, wouldn't hurt a fly and zero nastiness. Everyone is enamoured with her babyness (she's 7).

Rather excited as she has a show this weekend and has the 'look at me' factor in abundance,

I love arabs, but have not had the fortune to have a purebred as yet, maybe one day......

 

[miskettie]

I have a 25 year old purebred arab mare, Ashuer Miska. I've owned her for ten years. She's a typical arab mare and although retired now is still very bossy!

 

[HashRouge]

I think I've figured this out! This is (or should be!) Lou:

And being a monster in the field:

 

[LadyLuck1977]

I have one she is a three yr old pure bred in the process of breaking her and hopefully will be taking her out later in the year.

 

[beatnik]

I've always had Arabs or Anglo Arabs, 5 altogether. My first, I was 13, was rose grey & he did everything except jump! We were in PC gymkhana teams, did dressage & hunted (he jumped then!). Next was a chesnut roan Anglo with a flaxen mane & tail, I bought him at 2, broke him & he really did do everything, except dressage! Brilliant jumper, hopeless hunter (far too excitable), gymkhana, XC, ODE, LDR, RC teams, etc etc. I said goodbye when he was 28. As you can see I've got incurable Arabitis. My present Arab is 7, dapple grey with a dark mane & tail. He has 2 preferred paces - walk & canter, is bomproof with traffic, great fun to ride, utterly trustworthy & a delightful character. I call him my pocket rocket. Unfortunately I don't know how to post piccies. Enjoy your Arab, there's nothing like them.

 

[pintoarabian]

I have Pure, Anglo and Part Bred Arabs, specialising in breeding for performance and colour. Here are some of them......
