Hello Campers, from my little book, the Observers Book
of Horses and Ponies which was printed in the UK and given to me by Felicity
Anne Russell (FAR) the granddaughter of Bertrand i read that ..."Of all the
horse breeds of the world, the Arab is not only the oldest and the most
beautiful, but has had more influence on other breeds than any, which is the
surest tribute to its excellance. The breeds outstanding features are: a small
horse-the stallions standing 14'2-15 hands, with mares slightly smaller-of
extremely graceful carriage and beautifully refined head,with tail carried high
and gaily; a horse of arresting and picturesque appearance, indeed, the
very picture horse of all the equine race." So since i was for a time a
breeder of them and had more problems w/ vaginas than sheaths i would say that
the modern day philosophy of "Bigger is Better" does not align itself with the
thinking and reasoning of the original intent of those that bred them for 5,000
years. tom sites
