Legends Series: Howard Kale Interview
Arabian Horse Insider Shows Sponsored by
This week, the Insider hears from the legend – Howard Kale. Most of us know Howard through his involvement with Karho and the great stallion *Muscat during the 1980s. What many of us don’t know is that he was one of the first to visit and import horses from Poland, wrote the Russian Arabian Horse Stud Book and is working today with the current owners of the famous Tersk Stud in Russia to revive that historic program. Hear Howard’s history and his views on Arabian Horse breeding today in this exclusive one-on-one rare interview.

Fantastic! Exciting! Mr. Kale’s knowledge about horses and particuarly arabians is legion! His desire to “understand what he knows” benefits all of us. He is an intellect, a wit, a student of the breed at the highest level. My only complaint is that we need MORE from Howie Kale. Can you arrange that? A series? He is fantastic. He could discourse at length about the various decades 1960s until the turn of the century.
Nice interview but a little confusing when Jeff introduced Howie as “Doctor Kale”. Especially since Howie sounds so much like his dad!
Great conversation, though. Need more of these BREEDERS interviewed. Their knowledge is imperative to the perpetuation of good breeding practices, which is, after all, THE POINT. With new people entering this business every year, education in genetics is important to the breed. Winning prizes is nice, but creating a better Arab with each generation is what breeding is all about. As Howie says, knowing is not understanding. We can know we don’t want a low back, but do we understand that if we have one in our horse, it takes seven generations to breed it out? There are long term consequences to sacrificing one fault over another, and all horses have them. HORSE BREEDING IS NOT ENTERTAINMENT, IT IS A RESPONSIBILITY. AND IT IS NOT BASED ON KNOWLEDGE, IT IS BASED ON UNDERSTANDING.
