RE: [RC] [RC] Man o' War - heidi

Oh my gosh I love this picture!   Thank you Barb!   I had a client that
wanted to breed his QH mare to Cejlon and race the foal on the quarter horse
circuit.  Not being able to register a half Arab / QH as a running quarter
was obviously a problem for him.  I found it odd that you can have a half
TB/QH as a running quarter.  No one cared to listen to my reasoning that
Arabian was in the foundation of BOTH breeds!  Sad because I think the foal
would have been absolutely phenomenal being a Doc Bar grand get.



Actually, there was a time when Arabians in this country WERE registered with 
the Jockey Club, and there may still be a small handful of "Jockey Club 
eligible" Arabians around (although one probably could not now get them 
AJC-registered, since the process has not been kept up).  At any rate, one 
notable Arabian sire, Gudea, was used extensively as a QH sire "back in the 
day" thanks to his AJC registration.  He sired several purebred Arabians, one 
or two registered TBs, and a whole bunch of QHs.  There was a terrific article 
on him in Western Horseman back in the 1960s.
