We, as preservationists, breed first to produce a good horse rather than a narrow type. We seek the same characteristics which have governed horse breeding for centuries, in 444 BC Xenophon said, “. . . care must be taken that the colt is gentle, tractable, and fond of man when he is sent to the horse-trainer.” We know it is the same today; a good temperament is of first importance. We strive in our breeding program for the age-old hallmarks of all good horses: balanced conformation; strong bone; expressive eyes; prominent nostrils to drink the wind. We have, over many years, proven our horses' worth in rigorous performance competition. We strive to produce horses of such temperament, soundness, and athleticism a Bedouin of yesterday would entrust his life to them.

Congratulations to Cindy Crook & MV Malcar for their outstanding achievements in 2005, coming in 3rd in the AERC PS Region for Lightweight and 3rd in the AERC National Pioneer Lightweight standings. Congratulations, also, to Rick Leonard & Jasmine Splash for their outstanding achievements in 2005, coming in 2nd in the AERC PS Region for Middleweight and 4th in the AERC National Pioneer Middleweight standings.
