War Horse

‘War Horse’ a full-on Spielberg spectacle

The most acclaimed filmmaker of his time, Steven Spielberg is also the most commercial.

That is the one beef against him, and that would explain the shameless emotional sucker punch that is “War Horse,” a World War I story about the unbreakable bond between handsome English farm lad Albert (newcomer Jeremy Irvine) and his even more attractive thoroughbred horse Joey.

Thanks so much Irvine. I hope to spread awareness of horse slaughter and why it is so wrong, along with showing the general public how horses are extraordinary animals and are deserved of the same treatment we give any of our pets.

Thanks again, and I hope to see you join! Ginny

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.
