After breeding and showining Morgans for several years, I recently tried endurance and came in to closer contact with Arabs. Impressed by their beauty and physical prowess and an ambition to take endurance more seriously, I very recently had the opportunity to have two older broodmares on permanent loan from the Harwood Stud. About three months ago, Caecilia, her then ten day old filly, Farrah and Caecilia's half sister Marceline came to join the Morgans. Right from the start they have fitted in and the Morgans adopted them.
I've been really struck by how gentle, kind and intelligent they are besides how lovely to look at.
I'm hoping that both mares are in foal to African Emir after his incredibly helpful owner Lynn brought him over for 'visits'.
Anyway here they are should you like to see them.
Cheers Pete

Welcome to AL, and to Arabs - bitten by the bug by the sounds of it, and who can blame you with such lovely ladies in your life?!
Fingers crossed for Mooey babies - I haven't seen his arab foals yet so will be keen to see how he stamps them

Welcome to Arabian Lines and best wishes for your future with your lovely Arabians. There ain't no cure for ARABITIS though - you have been warned!
I think I remember a charming pic of Marceline as a foal in one of the AHS magazines - must look it out.
Please keep us posted I would be really interested to see any foals by the lovely African Emir. |

Thanks everyone for your warm welcome. As requested, here are a couple of photos of two of my Morgans, Sophie, who's now 7 and expecting her first foal next year and her mother Min who was my first Morgan and at 19 is the old 'boss lady'. She was the very first horse of any breed concieved using imported frozen semen. She's had some fabulous foals but has now decided that she's made her contribution to the gene pool and has retired to do permanent barrage balloon impersonations.
The first two are of Sophie as a yearling, the second with her heavily pregnant mother Min and the third was taken at last year's Equithon, the event where I caught a bad case of Enduranceitis !

| I have a Harwood boy, Borris. He is a superb boy. Nature second to none, just backed and taken it all in his stride. Enjoy |

Congratulations on your two new girls. They both look lovely and if they are anything like my Harwood boy will be very loving and have wonderful temperaments. Look forward to hearing about their future arrivals  |

Hi and welcome to AL. You have some lovely horses. I almost bought a morab once many years ago (for endurance) but was beaten to it.
I also have this years foal by Safraz who was by Kasadi. He's going to be a big boy so nice to hear the temprament is good.
Endurance is a fantastic sport you will soon be well and truly hooked.

Hi Pete, welcome to AL. Fabulous pictures. Harwood really does breed some super Arabs. My Mum got her colt from Monica Calvert way back in the 1960s!
We had a woman with Morgans at the Arabian stud where my horses were some years ago. They're a fabulous breed. She used to do Western on them. They soon got infected by the Arabs themselves and before long whenever there was a 'group gallop' their tails would be up like the Arabs! I wonder if yours will do the same? |

Hi Roseanne,
I'm glad you liked the photos of the girls.The original Justin Morgan, to whom all Morgan trace back, was bred from the early proto-thoroughbreds that were taken to America by the early settlers. Therefore, they share the same Arab ancestry that modern thoroughbreds have. It doesn't take much to get a Morgan to snort and blow and carry it's tail high. They seem to share many of the traits of the Arabs.
Cheers Pete |

Hi and welcome - I have Harwood's Dulciya (Kasadi x Lusind) and my friend just up the road owns Chlione. I have alwsy loved Marceline... I knew they were putting them on loan but didn't know where they'd gone.
Ladyluck - I didn't know you have Kirstie, another of my favourites who I would have bought given half the chance, I always wondered where she went. I have photo of her as a foal on my screen saver!! |

Welcome to AL. Your Arabs are stunning and so are your Morgans.
I nearly bought a Morgan the year before i bought my Arab. I put a deposit down and arranged the vetting and everything and then something told me to stick to my original dream and get an Arab.
The Morgan was a beautiful bay mare. But i think i did the right thing because i just love my boy to pieces... |
