RE: RE: Re: where to get ex-racehorse Arabs?

Hi Susan,
Find Arab Race Trainers in your area... aren't U n CO.  Or ask Bobbi
Rachine... she gets quite a few.  I've had excellent luck with "didn't quite
make it -- ex racers"... just be sure of their legs... make sure they have
NO history of bows or suspensory pulls.  They will come back to haunt U
about 3-6 months into their training.... Somewhat depending on how old the
injury might have been however.
Good Luck..
I'll watch for you one down here.  People call me all the time with them.

Try Lang Park Arabians jandha@earthlink.net.  They have a regular ad in the
back of EN most months.  They're essentially a racing barn that is now
selling to endurance folk.  Reasonable prices.  Don't know too much about
them, but have seen a few of their horses that looked like likely prospects.
