Pfizer and Horse Slaughter

Pfizer and their thoughts on horse slaughter, their take on their responsibility to the horses they use (and abuse) in the Premarin Drug process. Let me just say that I keep my cynicism until I'm proven wrong.

Polish Arabians - March Breed

Polish Arabs: check out the page on the Arabian Horse Association website.

I decided to start with Polish Arabs since that is the breed my Crystal is! Polish Arabs have much more bone and size than most Egyptian Arabs. Crystal is nearly 16 hands and 1200lbs with isn't uncommon for this breed. The Polish breed the Arabs they imported from Egypt with the cold blooded horses of Europe and over time this is the exquisite horse they wound up with. They are breed to carry weight as much as they are bred for stamina. They are still raced in Poland, not to see how fast they are, but to see how much stamina they have while carrying more weight.

The have brains, they are sensible and gentle, and really want to please. I've owned and been around so many horses, and Polish Arabs never fail to impress me. They have brains AND beauty, the very best of both worlds.

I do not have lots of experience with the breed. I was a "dyed in the wool" Quarter Horse person, but I can now surely say, I am hooked on the Polish Arab breed. And it's not just because Crystal is "my" horse, I've read it, and heard it from other owners and breeders.

So if one comes to you and you're looking for a horse and you fear the high strung ways of the Egyptian Arab, give the Polish a try. I doubt you ever go back to anything else.
