2008 Region 7 CHAMPION!
 |
FABAH SERR (Ibn
Sabbah Bedu+/ x Fabah
Mahrena) earned the title of Region 7 Champion in Trail on April
25th, 2008. The course had obstacles he had never done before
but he handled them all with his usual calm attitude. He only started
learning Trail last September.
Fabah is proudly owned by Teri and David Kelly. More on Fabah Serr |

Just moments before going into the ring he came to the aid of his stablemate "Strawberry" by galloping back to the barn for a few things when she lost a shoe just before her showing. On return to the ring from his rousing gallop, he downshifted into neutral again, snoozing until he entered the ring a moment later. That is very much who he is!

The Institute for the Desert Arabian Horse is publishing a reference book on
the Babson importation and its influence on Arabian horse breeding since 1932.

seminal articles on the Babson herd and new articles on Babson horses, variant
bloodlines, and the influence of Babson blood throughout the Arabian breed.

We need YOU to be a part of this project! |
| We need your help in locating information on the various Babson Influence bloodgroups as well as individual horses. We need show and other competition information. We need your help in gathering good high resolution photos and scans of today's horses as well as historical photos. We need your help so that when the book comes out, horses important to you will not be left out because we did not have the necessary information to include them. What each of you know of or have photos of is relevant to the book project. Without your help the book may be missing these important elements. Please contact us for labeling information and photographer release forms needed for the photos as well as format information for articles. We need your input. |
