Oh dear, naughty Lynda 
Poor Monty is still sporting a bump on his hock, so please don't pull him apart on here, I feel very fragile and weepy today he is much loved and I miss him greatly especially today.
My first Arab looked just like the first one Lynda! I have to say he carried me safely and soundly everywhere, no looker but we went hunting and had great fun. Yes the same can be said for Monty, he would do likewise as he is built just a bit better than some other modern arabs.
Please find more older and modern arabs for what could be an interesting thread.

| Platforma always looks like she standing on a downward slope to me or it could be just the photo. I love this photo of Ekibastuz, he's a fabulous Balaton son |

I don't think the first photo is a very flattering bridle lol!! Although its amazing how they have changed. Even in the time I have been breeding...........(about 300 yrs it feels like)
My two foundation mares......
and two examples of now, this is in just a few years......what is to come??

It isn't really a fair comparison to judge vintage photos against modern ones - so much has changed not just in the technology available (and I'm not even *thinking* about Photoshop -! ) but also in the techniques used to condition horses. It's like comparing Mae West to Kylie!
Even just putting the horse in the first photo (Algol) in a modern show bridle would improve the look of his head immensely.
I have a video of a British comedy film from the 1930s - The Camels Are Coming - which was shot partly in Egypt and partly in the UK which features Arab horses, and the quality of the beasties shown is obvious

| I was thinking that too Minhe - vintage photography was hardly flattering to people or horses, so it is a bit unfair to compare the horses when they are presented so differently. |

Sorry girls I'll have to disagree with you - look at the new photo's that have been found of Marilyn Munroe, she was simply stunning. If you look at some of the old photo's collected by Judi Forbis in Egypt mares like Bukra oozed quality. The pics of A. Bint Bukra, A. Bint Mabrouka and A. Ibn Halima when they were shipped show they were quality horses. I love looking at the old vintage shots and, for me, looking at our true heritage from Egyptian bloodlines ;)
I have to say Linda that is some hum-dinger of a vintage shot !!!
PS Keren - Mae West was stunning too !! |

vintage or not , it would have taken a miracle ( or generation's of breeding ) to change that first Arabian into what we see today.
which is what was done! that horses name was Aldebar, ( I think thats his spelling ) vets just turned up , so I will tell you about him on my return |

Aldebar , was by Dwarka a desertbred Keheilan , of the Anazeh tribe .
Aldebar was bred by HRH prince of Wales , and then exported to Canada where he was later purchased by Henery Babson.
his Dam was Amida.

What a cracking picture of Reflection LA and Ryan Jones.....
The colt it trotting out superbly, exhibiting balanced and flowing paces, on a loose rein. Handler alongside also in balance with the colts stride....and I can`t believe, no long schooling whip in hand!!
What a delightful picture they make....colt and handler in harmony
Well Done Reflection LA & Ryan Jones

| The chestnut foundation mare is Maymunah (Ralvon Elijah x Maysunah) , and the bay is Silver Sheba (Fari II x Silver Sheen). Maymunah was Qatar National Champion in her day. Quite an honour for a crabbet lol. She also had what was considered a very exotic head for her time too, it wasnt that long ago that most arabs were fairly straight headed. She and Sheba have passed over the Rainbow bridge now, but I was very proud to own them both. |

Funny this should come up - I was perusing pics of our foundation mares the other day.... grooms in bad knitwear, massive perms and all
But I have to say - they were very nicely conformed horses with good minds and none of them were expensive.... looking at the comparable 'mid-range' Arabian on sale today and I would still pick our girls first!
We all, lovers of the breed in it for the long haul, definitely have our own 'stamp'; mum and I are both still picking out similar horses (to one another, perhaps that's inevitable) out of large groups at shows or yards. And on investigation they often turnout to be linked to our favourite bloodlines. It is also helpful to be able to spot quality even in the 'rough'.
Lovely pic of Monty Sue - he looks happy, which is why he shows so well! glad he is mended

Well why not??? RUSLEEMA 73% Crabbet. Never stabled, rugged and very woolly.
In fairness to the first horse in this section, he had a lot going for him, and he is standing very quietly. Animated he would have been beautiful, and very masculine.
I like a stout horse; and that's how they were described 100+ years ago. |
