I think maybe the tide is turning back and some arab breeders are realizing
what they have been doing has been hurting the arabian breed- about 5 years ago
my niece showed our then 22 year old "rescue" arabian gelding at the local arab
club show and took reserve champion in the geldings/stallions class.
The judge, who also judges halter at the big Scottsdale show, took her aside and
asked her what the breeding on him was and said "too bad he's gelded-people are
seeking out the older lines to breed back into". My niece has his papers
and all I can remember is he seemed to have a variety of all the old lines that
used to be prevalent here in the Phoenix area. He has really good bone and just
an over-all "balanced" look to him and he's still beautiful and moves pretty
nice even at age 29.
