Bedouins do not like black of dark horses - they get over heated in the sun AND they stand out against the sand - they don't blend in very well
And Arabian horses are war horses first and foremost - used in raiding. A grey or chestnut blended in well with the desert sand and didn't get over heated like black or bay horses do!
I watched Curly roll an egg from Marty's ground floor nest box, over to her ground floor nest box beside Marty hahahaha! she just kept backing up rolling it towards her
Smart chicken! Let se how she does with real babies!
They show Arabians like that in halter classes in the US as well. My best friend growing up her family owned Arabian show horses. She still breeds and shows on her own now. We went to the Nationals in Scottsdale. Honestly, it looks worse then it is. Idk how they get them to do it oversees but here they work with them and train them to do that, its all a show snort and blow tail flagged then the set up neck stretched legs placed just so. Lots of treats and snuggles in between the teachingThis is Truly's sire - True Colours. I am not sure where he is right now, or if he is still alive or not. I think he went to the Middle East - which I am not happy with

Really dislike how they show horses in the middle east getting them all riled up and freaked out
at least this is my experience with seeing it trained. I hope thats how it is over there too.
But - ya - he was a nice looking strong horse. His mums side was what I was interested in - Dalul, I love that horse's bloodlines.This is Truly's sire - True Colours. I am not sure where he is right now, or if he is still alive or not. I think he went to the Middle East - which I am not happy with

AND stallions were frowned upon - they were nothing but trouble, and noisy. Mares on the other hand were like gold, and they had more stamina (so it is told haha), also mares were very quiet during raids, and unlike stallions could run and piddle without stopping! Rather cruel I think! But I guess having to stop and piddle when you just raided a neighbouring tribe could be a bad thing!Bedouins do not like black of dark horses - they get over heated in the sun AND they stand out against the sand - they don't blend in very well
only a mare - she was worth more than gold and slept in the tents with the women who cared for them
Actually if I told you horror stories you would bawl - one of the reasons I do not show on the Arab circuit anymore. That and I found Arabian owners/trainers to be horrid people!

So back in the early 2000s when the horse market pretty much collapsed I just kept my last foals and called it quits. I had Truly's half sister Malaka (by Imperial Baarez https://www.arabianessence.tv/horses/imperial-baarez/245/ ), but I ended up selling her. She actually is out here somewhere near Grande Prairie. I often think about looking her up - but then I decide not to - I don't want to see her if she is not treated well. I am not in a position to get another horse
Hmmm, remember that Phyllis carries her clutch? And @BY Bob had the case of the moving eggs?
