I'm always amazed where Arabs pop up. I guess after the Arabian craze of the 60-70's these are the forgotten ones that end up in backyards, 4h clubs and small town parades. Here are a couple I spotted at our local 4th of July parade. I thought they looked pretty Polish to me. I'd be interested to know their pedigree. After all I got my first Polish Arabian mare from a horse trader for $800 and she was a Negatiw X Andorra mare.

It's too bad they don't have helmets on those kids, those yarn reins don't look like they would stop anything

Very Cute though

(BTW.. I reposted for you)

yeah but she looks like a really killer too!!!. So much for crazy arabs. They are out there in our 4 h clubs and back yards as prized best friends.

I agree about the helmet and to actually use the bit just for safety sakes but what a nice mare.

I saw that too Copper after I posted.. I was like "What!?" But that is not what this is about.. How wonderful to have them out and about! Good catch

Great pics showing how Arabs take care of their humans and out with other horses and people. Here are some pics of my daugther who was born with cerebral palsy with her crazy Arabian and another pic with a well known stallion who was so sweet to her when she got to ride him he was so careful of her. I have found that Arabians are very procected of their humans, Shanda works with all of our Arabians including foals and stallions.

Yeah, got to watch those horrible kid eating Arabs. This one looks like she would have him for lunch doesn't she??

Great pics - love to see the arabs in the parades.
Everyone should buy their kid an ARAB to ride
Here is a pic of a boy Charlie whom is with Amigo a pretty fiery chestnut gelding but with little boy he is like a lamb

Oooohhhh, ya'll are makin' me cry, STOP IT! Wipes snotty nose, HONK! How magnificent are these creatures we get to love and pet and feed and ride and breed? I am so humbled and honored to be in their presence, but, then when they take such exquisite care of our little ones and those with special needs, well...what more can you say? They are our patron saints and guardian angels, I truly believe it! God bless them - one and all. The two hottest mares I have ever owned were BOTH total lambs with my little bitty (then) inexperienced daughter, never a foot misplaced nor an eyelash out of place. With ME? They tried and did EVERYTHING, rofl, but never with her. Incredible!

Aren't they all beautiful. I love seeing the Arabs with the kids and they all have the same content look on their faces as if they know. Here's my oldest daughter with our mare, Forever Elkin (Czara). This was a horse I never would have thought would have made a good kids horse in her younger days but she has turned out to be fantastic with the kids.
