RE: Oldest USA Arab Breeders

["Bev Davison/Jim Miller" <sdaxifa@lcp2.net>]

Hi Tammy: there are still many who breed these old time Arabs!  Check out
the AkHorsemen Onelist group! or the Al Khamsa site.  I personally breed the
Babson/Doyle cross and although there are very few of either parent group or
my group out there...they are there and carrying on!  Like-minded breeders
are always welcome to get involved.  The Doyle group included the well known
endurance horse Bint Gulida of Linda Tellington recognition (I believe I
have my facts correct). They are tough nuts!  Many of todays successful
distance horses have strong lines to these horses!! Bev
