[RC] The Numbers Are Running Against Us - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Don MacIntosh pasang@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

"Arabian Horse Magazine", current issue, at page 147 tells how the Arabian 
horse today stacks up numberwise vs paints and QH's. TB's were not mentioned. 
We Arabian horse owners are now very much "little fellows" and destined to stay 
that way unless we wake up and buck up. For example AHM says 51% of purebred 
Arabians "are 16 years and older". Not the best ages for breeding. Last year 
8,000+ Arabians registered while 60,000+ paints registered and the QH folk 
produced "160,000 new foals last year." Arabian production is outgunned 20 to 1 
vs QH's. We should breed and promote a few more good horses and not sit on our 
hands while the herd simply ages out into residual fond memories. dnm
