Anyone here have experience with Arabians?

I ask because I saw a beautiful stallion today. Geez it's tempting.

Don't.

Seen some good Arab cow horses over the years-they are alot smoother to ride on a long day. Some friends in Newcastle, Wyoming have about 50 arab/tb crosses in their remuda. They don't have the natural ability a quarter horse does though.

After he asked about Arabian horses, he then mentioned Arabian STALLIONS.

Everyone knows they have a lot of stamina...but you don't see many using them for ranch horses.

I'm not gonna get in a debate with you AG,because you can't do it without calling me a name. You have your opinion, I have mine.

Have a good night.

i guess riding an arab is alright....i think it is one of those things that you don't want your friends or neighbors to see you doing it.
i have never rode an arab and never will.

If your looking to have an arab stub as a cow horse...not sure how well that will work.
As for a gelding or mare they would be good. If you want a floating ride you cant get any better.
Since I am not a cowgirl I will admit I have and would again ride an arab.

was walking down the street one day and saw Abdulla shaking a carpet furiously........ I said "whats the matter amigo, wont it start"?

I'd never have any interest in one. With that dished-out face and tail wanting to poke up all the time, I have little desire. They seem to be pretty frail for doing much roping of critters. But heck Whitewing, down there in Venezuela I don't know that the neighbors seeing you ride one would cause much of a stir. If you rode one around this country you'd better be thick enough skinned to take some verbal abuse

My buddy went to an Arab outfit by NewTown, North Dakota tp pick up a stud one time-he had some stouter mares. I roped a two year old Hereford bull of one of my buddies geldings he handled it ok. I used to use his Arab stud like a longhorn bull for my draft mares first foals-raised some pretty fancy teams off that cross. A little dab in a horse wouldn't hurt much and I doubt the neighbors would know-I get enough grief cause I ride mares lol. Alot of saddle horses up here have a bit of draft in them-those muskegs eat up horses pretty quick.
