Re: [RC] The Numbers Are Running Against Us - Truman Prevatt

A new market has to be developed and the only new market I see for Arabs is the pleasure market. One of the jobs of a breed association is to build markets. The AHR seems to either be doing a very poor job at that or not doing it at all.

==========================================

"Arabian Horse Magazine", current issue, at page 147
tells how the Arabian horse today stacks up
numberwise vs paints and QH's. TB's were not
mentioned. We Arabian horse owners are now very much
"little fellows" and destined to stay that way
unless we wake up and buck up. For example AHM says
51% of purebred Arabians "are 16 years and older".
Not the best ages for breeding. Last year 8,000+
Arabians registered while 60,000+ paints registered
and the QH folk produced "160,000 new foals last
year." Arabian production is outgunned 20 to 1 vs
QH's. We should breed and promote a few more good
horses and not sit on our hands while the herd
simply ages out into residual fond memories. dnm
