Up until I bred Sweet Legacie to Rasmoniet EHAP, I didn't know much about the Arabian's history.  Since that time I am enjoying learning.

The first Arabian I ever owned (or I should say that owned me) is CH Sukkarah, a bay mare.  In May of 2008 she turned 21 years old.  I've known and ridden her since she was 5 years old, and finally was able to buy her a few years later.  She is still my favorite riding horse.   In past years we have gone to fun shows, barrel racing, pole bending and other games.  We also went on weekend camping rides for a few years.  Now she is retired to trail riding at home.

My 2nd Arabian, Sweet Legacie (we call her Bennie), was gifted to me when she was 3 years old.  She was being boarded at our farm, owned by a young girl that decided to join the military.  Her father was going to sell her, but instead gifted her to me because he knew I loved her and she would have a wonderful home.  I am so grateful.  A year or so later I met the wonderful people from Echo Hill Arabian Preservation.  I bred Bennie to their Pritzlaff stallion, Rasmoniet EHAP, and on August 12, 2004, I was blessed with a beautiful bay filly.  Robert and Kelly of Echo Hill have taught me so much about the Arabian horse.  They are wonderful friends.  At their encouraging, in 2006 I made my first trip to Kentucky to the Egyptian Event.  It was wonderful.  I went back in 2007 and in 2008.  The best vacations I ever had.

My sister also has an Arabian now.  Like me she was raised on QH's.  The last horse she had was a beautiful huge paint horse named Oreo.  After Oreo had to be put down because of cancer, she was really depressed.  I found an Arabian gelding for sale not far from our farm, and practically drug her to go look at him.  She told the guy she was really interested in another Quarter Horse or Paint.  He said he had a QH for sale, and after she rode the Arabian (EWF Gabriel), she could try out the QH.  After she rode Gabe around for a while, I asked her if she wanted to try the Quarter Horse now.  She said no - she fell in love with Gabe.  We brought him home that afternoon.
