Sorry Jen, didnt get to answer your question sooner.
The people knew I came on here because I had mentioned how great it was and in fact when one of them wanted some general information about their horse, they joined lines and put on a couple of topics asking for advice.
Then came the "sour grapes" Their horse kicked out at Freddie as I rode back onto the yard one day and it was quite scary as their isnt room to get out of the way. The yard owner told them that they must move their horse for safety's sake. So they set about reading what I put on lines for ages just waiting to catch me out!! Thankfully it didnt have the desired affect and nobody took any notice, all they did was alienate themselves and now they are gone!!! Everybody is glad they have gone and the yard is such a different place with nice new people.
We hadnt spoken for quite some time anyway so it was no big deal, just an eyeopener really. You live and learn!!

A few years back mine were in the field with my aunts old Section A
mare, they had been out all day and I came to get them in about 6.00
O Clock, now when I shouted them they always ran down to me but this day they didnt, my dear old departed mare then, was shouting at me,
straight away I knew something was wrong, so I hot footed it up the field and found Frosty (Section A) had got her legs tangled in some
sheep netting that had come away from the post and rail.
I shouted to Hubby to go and get some wire cutters and come up immediately which he did, my two never left frosty's side throughout,
luckily frosty being 28 yr old had the commonsense to stand still and
thankfully she wasnt hurt.
As soon as we released her all three went running down to the gate to
come in. God knows how long she had been tangled up but I was very
proud of my 2 that day, and my mare shouting me to tell me something
was up.
In my opinion only Arabs would do that, because the other horse that
was out with them was over the hill and wasnt with the 3 of them.

You've made me think now Janet as my pure bred mare once got stuck in between the two wire fences between her field and the next. She was stuck at a diagonal with her front legs against one fence and her back legs against the other. These fences were in the hedge which ran up that side of the field so when I went out to the field to catch Tara in I called and called and she didn't come and I couldn't see her anywhere. I began to panic and think that she'd been stolen or someone had let her out of the field and she'd ran off and been in an accident. Then all of a sudden I saw her white stripe in between the tree branches so I called her again and she just stood there whinnying. I wondered why she wouldn't walk over to me so I went over to her and saw she was caught in between the two fences. I don't know how she'd got there and I had no idea how to get her out without cutting the fences - I had no wire cutters on me! So I had to shout the loudest I could to my friend who was in the yard and luckily she heard me and got the YO to come with some wire cutters.
I am so glad she never panicked when she saw me or heard me calling and just stood there as good as gold until we could cut her out. Luckily she ended up with just a couple of small grazes on her front legs, it could have been so much worse if she'd panicked as she would have ripped her legs to shreds on the barbed wire! |

| My Border terrier nicks Sarka's carrots out of his tea and, bless him, he never complains. Mind you, he also likes Little Kitty sleeping on his back like a furry hot water bottle. He had a nasty accident once, stood on a nail that went right into his hoof. He stood quite calmly whilst we got it out, then hopped home. Typical Arab behaviour, I'd say! |

What can I say, Im one of the lucky one, my two boys are always refered to as "not being typically arab". Whatever that is meant to mean...
I think that non arab people think that the breed are all complete nutters and if they actually took time to look into the breed they would realise that anything other than an Arab is just a horse!! |

| I can understand where people get the typical arab idea from. I say this cos for many years this was how I thought of arabs. The only arab I ever come across was an Arab Stallion which was liveried in the mixed yard that I worked at. He was so dangerous that the only people allowed in with him was the yard owner and her partner. I was only 16 so impressions stick. It wasn't until I met Gill Bryan at Antoon arabians around about 15yrs ago that I began to see Arabs in a different light. Now I love Arabs and have one that Gill bred, but now owned by Al-le arabians on loan, I'm even hopeing that Gill may let me ride her 4yr old stallion, if we ever get time to break him. |
