The sad thing is that none of the breed organizations have a rescue set up
like they have for dogs.  I know it is harder to deal with horses but there
are a lot of good horses going to slaughter.  Too bad there isn't some
rescue resources for Arabs, it would help a little.

THAT many extra Arabs in the area? 


Check the tier.org website under horses in need.  You'll see a few 7 or 8 
year old arabs in local So. Cal. feedlots who appear to be perfectly sound 
and are headed for slaughter unless they're rescued. 
$550 per horse is all it takes.....and one can be yours. 
These are just the tip of the ice berg. 
A very sad situation, indeed.... 
If I only had a ranch with about 20 acres.....   >sigh< 

Bitsy's a 'rescue', btw.  Not in the truest sense as I got her from a guy
who 
really hated her (deemed her 'unrideable') and was in the process of 'just 
getting rid of her'. 
I've no doubt, however, that she most likely would have ended up in a feed 
lot......and she's a wonderful, beautiful. really loving, little Arab mare.
