So many horses fanastic horses are shut out as the gene pool of the hugely promoted horses become the polific names in many pedigrees. This happened in the dog breeding world where health issues are now inherent within each breed. Are we to face the same within certain lines of the Arabian horse as they are bred to refine, and re-refine characteristics? In the interest of fairness missing from the Arabian horse world, my mares remain open - and they are from incredible lines. A lesser known stallion with the "wow factor" is what we're holding out for. It would be nice to see a horse with "all the right stuff" win, irrespective of the bankroll behind it. As in major sports, there are scouts that scan for talent. This is a business, lifestyle, and yes, a sport that we are dedicated to promoting. Treasures abound in many barns. Let's see some of the diamonds we know to be out there without all the politics. Great topic!

Thanks for those thoughts. As an owner of a Marwan daughter out of my Dakar El Jamaal daughter and 2 colts by Marhaabah I feel every word you are saying. Being involved in the construction industry with small family businesses, these past two years have hit us pretty hard, causing me to bring everyone home from my trainer Chris Anckersen and hunker down to weather it out. Predicament is, until I can get back in the game and have the exposure and assistance that Chris provided...my guys sit in the pasture looking like unkempt mudpies, getting older, and costing lots of money! I have managed to keep everyone up though and am waiting for this to turn around. Yes, I am willing to join up for this cause! Without professional help, a lot of us are sitting on high quality stock, that is virtually worth only the joy they bring to us personally. I can't imagine (for example) anyone who is on the playing level that you are being interested in one of my horses who do not have great exposure. Aside from that though, like many others, the plan wasn't to breed and then bring them all home, the intention was to stay with Chris and let him steer the boat! Thanks for all you do and I enjoy your startup nation website! Hi Jeff,
