I have been riding my appendix QH in NATRC for several years. He is a grand
guy but is well over 20 yrs of age, so reluctantly I think it is time to
start looking for another horse. I would like to start Endurance, and even
though I am a TB fan, I think I will get an Arabian. Can anyone send me the
name, address and contact person of the Rushcreek Ranch. I have been
unsuccessful in my efforts, except to learn that they are located in
Nebraska. I have been observing and reading about Arabians for the past few
years, and even though I have had horses all my life, this would be my first
Arabian. A few of them have a feature that I would like in my new horse -
that is, very large nostrils. Even though I know this is functionally
desirable, I have not observed it in many horses and would like to know if
this is going to be hard to find. Are there certain lines or types of Arabs
where this is more prevalent? I know this may sound picky, but if I have to
look at the horse's head for the next 25 years, I would like it to at least
be pleasing to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
