This thread brings back nice memories :D

I lived in the USA for a while, next to a ranch specializing in Arabs - the word Blue springs to mind, but I can't remember any more than that! It was a long time ago :rolleyes:

Back in the UK, I was temporary head girl on an Arab stud in Yorkshire, but can't remember the name of it. Rode one of the stallions - he covered the school on the diagonal in about three strides. Great fun to ride, though did try to eat/kick anyone in the stable!

Fun days :D

I have Obi. He is 24 years old.

It is almost our 20th anniversary.

He is my soul-mate.

I love your coloured arabs, if I was horse hunting I'd be after one of those :)

My girl is an arab x, according to her passport, but other than that I have no idea of her breeding. She has a brilliant character though, grumpy, feisty, hard working, tries hard to please, brave, can you tell I think the world of her :D

I have a 4 yr old part bred that I bred by Red House Condor(arab) out of my ISH mare. She's officially for sale but I can't seem to let her go! I've been trying to be brave an sell her for ages now. I have never held onto one before but she is just sooooo sane and easy-there are no silly spookage etc. She has an amazing brain! I am detrimentally fond...my Dad is threatening to get rid down the factory unless i move her soon (it's all talk...untill the cattle are out of the shed!) but she is just so easy to have around, really bold and it has an amazing jump! So she's mine for now...
Sorry about pic size don't know how to make them smaller

Wow! There are really some stunning horses on here (loving your mare haras!)
It makes me frustrated that some peopple still have such a negative attitude to Arabs - when discussing with some friends that I was going to view some Arabs last weekend, one commented 'what do I want one of those for? They don't do anything. It's would be like sitting on a hat-rack.'
Well I fail to see anything that would need anything less than a wide-fit saddle here!!! And tell me anything they don't do.
Love 'em.

Lol - Phoebe wears an XXXW Wintec Wide as nothing else will fit her - she is nothing like a hat rack!!

Pintoarabian - I love Picasso - he's such a pretty boy :) - Please show some piccies of your babies playing on the beach - I love those !

I've had 2 Arabians, still got one. First was a 14.3 mare who did endurance, show jumping and cross country. She was well known in Riding Club circles for her "speed dressage" - shame it's not an actual disipline! Second is 20 this year and still going strong, he is 16hh, quite good at dressage and has cross countried and show jumped when I was younger and braver. He was bought with endurance in mind but for one reason or another we never managed to get into it properly. Had my mare from 4 until she had to be put down at 22 and bought the second one at age 5. Both fabulous characters with great sense of humour. Have now got a 15.1 Welsh Section D mare, (since May '10) only 5, who I share with my daughter (here's a morbid thought - the mare will probably outlive me, my granddaughter can eventually ride her!). I always loved Welshies. She is a strong but loving character, our trainer thinks she is very talented so it remains to be seen if we can match her abilties...

LOL! The arab I used to ride at a riding school was like that, he got 'fizzed up' going through a test like a excitable pony would jumping!!! It just got faster and faster, he got stronger and stronger, and if you'd practiced it enough before-hand, he'd anticipate the movements!!!! :D Such a lovely character.

And wow, what great shots on the beach!! Looks like a fun day out for all!

I'm late to the party! Me!!

I've always been obsessed with Arabs and have looked after a very araby ginger Anglo for years (sadly passed away last year :( ), and shared a stunning grey Arab x Lippi for a while. I've been sharing my daft ginger Crabbet (98%) boy for 18 months now. I never want anything other than an arab, nothing compares.

I was always more into crabbets and the traditional 'true' type. But being on an arab stud with current share i am getting more into the more exotic types and being slowly converted. So lucky to be around top class stunning Arabs every day, can't wait for this years show season to start and see them in action. Osc is a 'happy hacker' now but was a bit of a showing star and had several foals back in the day. He's a bit daft but never dull. I love his squishy face :D

Gratuitous photo to add to all the beautiful Arab faces on here :

Who says arabs can't jump??

And Czary, my first 'Arab' love, miss him so much after 8 years of friendship, the kindest and most forgiving horse anyone could wish for. Even in his 20's after a long life in a riding school, he still had a spark when he was feeling happy yet plodded round all day with complete novices:
