I loved your comments on Arabs. We have a 27 yr. old Arab which my daughter shows in all the game events at our local shows. He is awesome!!! Even though he is totally on Senior Feed and alfalfa cubes (soaked in water) and a supplement because his teeth are shot, he is still fast when he gets in the ring!! He conserves energy by snoozing between classes, literally!! People that walk by can't believe he actually runs. He's the one sweating and breathing the least on a long trail ride and has never been shod in the last 3 yrs. we've owned him! I've heard stories about him when he was young and he put several riders in the hospital. Thank God, the extra energy is gone and he saves it for the few barrels and pole runs she puts him through. We figure we'll retire him from the show arena at 30, if he's still with us. He's the horse my daughter treasures the most even though he is gray on his aging face and has huge pockets over his eyes. What an amazing breed! Susan
