  1. Training, Performance Problems advice & queries
    I have a 9 year old Arabian that I do not have a full history on but I do know he came out of two trainers that had a history of abusive methods (halter trainer). Im by no means a beginner, he's my 5th horse, I started two youngsters before and ride primary dressage at this point. The horse is...
  2. Saddle Discussions & Saddle Fitting Queries
    In need of help/advice. My horse is a 24 year old arabian mare. I've come to find out her old saddle doesn't fit. She's spry and spunky and not ready to retire. I bought a new saddle (wintec 500, brand new) I think might fit. She's got some muscle atrophy and sway back, but we're working hard...
  3. Arabians and Part bred Arabians
    Does anyone here ride an Arabian horse western style? I've never seen it done but I might "lease" an Arab from my dad's friend; he's calm and I can ride/hangout with him in exchange for helping with chores :)
  4. Horse Conformation Queries and Critique
    While taking one of my equine classes at college I heard a rumor that some Arabian horses have their muzzles wrapped with a band when they are young to shape/deform them into an extreme dished shape as they grow. I tried researching this, but it seems like most, if not all, dished noses are...
  5. Training, Performance Problems advice & queries
    I work at a sales and lesson barn doing training and exercise rides, we recently got a three year old dapple grey arab TB cross in who has quickly become my favorite, she planned on keeping him but since we were so busy with lessons and new students coming in for summer, she decided to send him...
  6. Arabians and Part bred Arabians
    Hey everybody! This is a question mainly for those in Alberta, Canada- did you ever hear about an Arab stallion named Daram? He sired my gelding and did both dressage and something western (I think either WP or western dressage, but I’m not sure). He went to 2005 Region 17. He was grey. 15.1hh...
  7. Horse Health
    My 19 year old arabian all of a sudden developed swelling in all 4 legs from the cornet to the knee. This has been going on for months now… It only happens after exercise (and yes always above and beyond with the warm up and cool down process)! The swelling will usually start some time between...
  8. Arabians and Part bred Arabians
    Hi guys! I have a saggya arabian who tosses their head. Is this truly normal for the breed or should i be worried? He’s done it ever since i own him, so it’s not a new sudden thing. He only does it when he is excited (at feeding time, playing with friends, asking him to trot…) Here is a little...
  9. Horse Breeding
    I found a fantastic Arabian farm that does broodmares leases. I originally found them looking for Russian line, but they also have polish and Egyptian. This would actually work out well since the monthly cost of lease would be roughly the same amount of money I'd be putting back monthly to save...
  10. Leasing, Loaning, Buying, Rescuing

    Hi friends! Ive got an Arab gelding, 13years old, who has been wind sucking sometimes. On anything. the back story is…. I’ve had him since birth, he’s always had friends and his mom, he’s never moved, always plenty of room to run in a big pasture, never stuck in a stall, free fed alfalfa...
  12. Leasing, Loaning, Buying, Rescuing
    Hi All, I recently came across this beautiful stallion which i want to rescue. I would say rescue, since it's stabled with a tendon injury. I would like some guidance on what sort of injury it is and if the stallion can recover from it. I have walked the horse on halter and shows no signs of...

Dam is DNA tested e/e A/a she is a very VERY dark liver chestnut, sire is Black I don't know...
  14. New and Returning members, introduce yourself here
    Hi to the community! I’m new here, live in Australia, had horses from age 4 until around 30 years ago, but have ridden other people’s regularly since then. We have just moved somewhere that I can have a horse on my own land and I decided I would just get a sensible sh/qh for trail riding etc-...
  15. Training, Performance Problems advice & queries
    So I have an 8-year-old Arabian mare and I think we need some help. I have had her for a few years but I think we are getting worse together instead of better. I don't think we trust each other at all. We are fine at walk-trot, but when we canter she picks up the wrong lead, and when we get it...
  16. Horse Breeding
    Last month my mare had an ultrasound to see how her system was looking, only to see that she appeared to have recently ovulated a couple days prior. The plans to start the process of embryo transfers was moved from beginning of April to the beginning of March. Had an appointment today to see...
