>>>> And there is nothing quite so gratifying as having a 12.2 h pony win an all age all size hunter over fences class at a small local show. We loved it and the crowd loved it.
We never had a pony that size when Emily was showing, but along the same vein, it was gratifying to see 14.2 1/2H Thunder win over many 16+H TB hunters types at the hunter shows, and against the big TB's and Warmbloods when they competed in dressage. His small stature was one thing to overcome, but that he is - gasp - an ARAB made it even sweeter. There's certainly no positive-prejudice for Arabs in either hunter or dressage competitions. He's not one of the mutant, halter-type Arabs though - just a nicely put-together little horse. Karen Thomas, NC No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
