Re: [RC] [RC] The Numbers Are Running Against Us - Nat NelsonI don't beleive the numbers are against the Arabs in the least! A quality product will ALWAYS have a market. I don't believe it is the AHR's responsibility of finding members a market, but the members to produce and promote a quality product. The AHR is there to register Arabians and Part Arabians and to offer programs to it's membership. I raise Quarter Horses and Paints myself as there is a high demand and market for those breeds. I also promote those breeds in the showring as well. In other words I produce and promote a quality product. Intrestingly enough when I got into endurance and the AERC I realized I needed a smoother muscled horse. I did my research and purchased my VERY FIRST Arabian! Until now I've only owned QHs and Paints - and I'm 44! However, I specificly searched for an Arab to suit my task as an endurance mount. I found one that meet all my quality control checks. In other words the seller offered a quality product! Now I do know that the AHR is one of the highest for association costs $100 to register a foal as compared to $35 to register a Quarter Horse or paint. Shipping permits with AHR is $350, whereas with the AQHA there is no charge and paints a $100 permit fee. Quite a bit cheeper. Breeding horses is an art of passion. You need to posses the art to create a better horse and a passion to permote it. And thankfully there are plenty of individuals in every breed that posses those skills. So remember it isn't the quantity you produce it is the quality! ~Nat~ Buckeye, AZ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
