I raise Arabians, mostly for the showring but I have had one that was an exceptional trail horse. His name was Dandy and he was the first baby I had raised. He now resides in Parkersburg, WV. This horse is the best: My girlfriend, Cari would ride him the most. If you needed a pee break he would wait patiently, if she wanted to smoke a cigarette and drink a beer at the same time he would amble down the trail and not spill a drop of her drink. He was such a gentleman. We will both miss him.

Growing up in the land of Quarter Horses I never had much opportunity to meet Arabians.

Being a farrier I can honestly say that a good portion of my "good horses" are Arabs and that many of them are used for endurance...so I have no doubt they make excellent trail horses.

The only question I have is regarding their politics....They're awful secretive and seem to only discuss it amongst themselves. Can we trust them given the current terror threat and the security risk they pose?
