Ken Taylor then showed slides of the Quarterama for the benefit of those who hadn't seen them. Connie Aalders won the door, prize, a shedder. As' this Was Arabian horse night, Carolyn gave a review on the Arabian horse. She -told how the Warlike inhabitants of that land treated them more; like houiehold pets, more like we would treat' a' favourite dog or cat. This is believed to account for the wonderfnl disposition of the Arab horse. The harsh conditions' under which the -Arabian existed, aided in the. development of a 'horse which 'is exceedingly hardy and of the soundest of hors- est hoof and leg trouble is rare and respiratory diseases are al', most unknown. The Arabian horse has One less vertebrae than the other breeds so he has a stronger back and can carry a heavier load for his die- compar- ed to other horses. Arabian • stallions found their way into Christian Lands as presents to Royalty from wealthy Sultans of the East. The Crusades did much to infuse the blood of the Arabian and Barbs into the horses of the, West. DtAring the fifteenth and , sixteenth century the demand was I& sizeable horses, Henry the eighth laid down laws governing the size of these horses, stipulat- ing no stallions of less than fif- . teen handfuls; should be grazed on.common or waste land, a hand or a hand full in Henry's language is approximately four inches. Later the increased use of)fire arms and the 'abandoning of heavy armor enabled cavalry men to use smaller and faster mounts; Coupled with the fact was the increasing interest in horse racing, fostered in part by the sports minded Stuarts. Jamei the' 1st, who ascended to the throne in 1603 imported what is believed to be the' first Arabian stallion into England. Special guests of the evening , were Bill and. Judy Geddes from Araby Stables in Kincardine. They are in the business of raising Arapian horses and still have their original stallion (Nabeym) Who is now 22 years of age Bill and 'Judy also have two stallions as well as a share in the A.U.S. National Top Ten,Stallion and .Reserve National Canadian Stallion named Gallic. Gallic is owned by a group of small ,breeders known 'as The Ontario Arabian Syndicate. 'Gallic stands at stud at the Geddes farm, as well as ten brood mares, all to foal in the near fUture, six young horses is well as sheep and cattle, and - still they found tithe to come and 'talk to our saddle club and show us some 'wonderful pictures of their lovely horses.' Judy told us' that the first. Arabian horse on record 'to come to Canada was the Arabian stallion Barra imported 'from England in,' 1909 by. H. H. Miller of Hanover, Ontario. As Judy says in symetry, no' breed can outclass the Arabian and that 'the asset should be safe- guarded, an Arabian cross,will. -improve any breed,of horse. Another point in favour of the Arab ian horse is' the fact that there 'is no other, breed so idealy suited as' a pleasure horse as it is ex- ceptionally well fitted for handling by immature riders -and women and children. They con- cluded by inviting anyone to drop in 'at their farm, and see them, and that is an invitation we will surely accept. Judy left us with' this thought, . GoOd, Better, Best.
