Thanks Missmagus,

I added some notes to his pedigree. He really is a neat little horse. He's 31 this year and slowing down, but stil a joy to have around. We've had him sense he was eight. I sure wish we would have been smart enough to keep one of his sons over the years. They where just so easy to sell because they where such good minded and good looking cusses. Its been years since I've looked up his papers as we havent really raised Arabs for 15 years.

Anyway Thanks again.

Rich

Rich -
NASAR is really well bred - very old breeding - no wonder you have sold his babies so easily - his blood lines are well known to put very sensible, good minded, and very pretty babies on the ground. Too bad you didn't keep a son to go on with. I have a 29 year old stallion that is wonderful also - but I have his 10 year old son, and a yearling son that I've kept. They are wonderful. The old guys have so much character and are so wise. I really love the old guys.

My "old guy Arab" is called RAII KHAN. Some
of us talked about this on the old board. I'm from
an AQHA background but sure have grown fond of
some individual Arabs. Would you say the Crabbet
breeding is what gives them the super intelligence
and honesty?

Interestingly... I bought a book called War Horses
for hubby for Christmas, and Arabs bred like this
were used in the Army Remount program.

Rebecca B -

There is a lot of the Crabbet blood that is great, but there are other lines of blood in the Polish group that give you the same results. There is old English blood too - when you refer to the Crabbet horses you are talking about the horses bred at "Crabbet Park", a farm owned by Lady Wentworth in England - but there are many other great horses from England that can't be called Crabbet. Alot of the horses that the Kellogg Ranch, now Univ of Calif at Pomona (I think that's the schools name) are Crabbet descendants. All the Crabbet horses are descended from horses off the desert, as are all arabs actually, but Lady Wentworths parents were the ones that went to Arabia and other areas of the ME and choose them. Some of the Polish horses trace back to the Crabbet horses also as Russia bought a group from Crabbet Park and those have gotten mixed in with the Polish as Russia took alot of Polish horses during and after World War II from the great Polish studs. So some Polish, Russian and Crabbet horses can all have common ancestors. They can be outstanding horses.

My group of Arabs are Polish, Russian, Crabbet, Old English, Kellogg and French.

The book you bought was it "War Horses to Show Horses"? If so it's a great book written by Gladys Brown Edwards - a great historian of the Arabian breed.

If I could find a good old style Arab mare between now and spring. I think I would try for one more foal out of the old guy. In 02 I bred one of our QH mares to him and she settled. But a vaccine caused her to slip the foal late that same fall. I was so depressed, that I did not try again. We do have a little Wimpy bred mare stand 13.3 that I am concidering trying to breed to him this year. Shes 20 this year.

RA -
I'm doing the Arab/QH cross, if you want to look at my website and there's a number of photos of my QH/Arab crosses. They're really great horses.

If you want a baby - why not try that. The foal would be a registered Half Arabian - lot's of those around nowadays.
