A little off the subject, maybe...but do you folks realize how many
STANDARDBREDS are immortalized in song???? The Old Gray mare? Std. Bred!
Jingle Bells? Std. Bred! Even my fave, Trouble in River City talks about
Dan Patch....Std. Bred! Well, I guess you Arabian riders can always revert
to the old classic Ahab the Arab. Or the 1920's ditty - The Sheik of Arab?
