The famous horse breeder, Judy Forbes, the owner of the Insata Stud, gave her advice to the horse breeder, saying people are always in a hurry, and they want it quickly, but this will not happen. If you start raising something, you have to know its history, which means that you must study the history of horse breeding and know in your thinking what you will be raising before trying to raise it.
Horses are not just something you want to buy because you suddenly fell in love with him and the seller wanted to sell it to you, no .. you need to take enough time, you have to study, you will not be a great athlete just because you learned how to collect and likewise you will not be a successful breeder just because you bought a horse and skill and then put them in Somewhere together.
My main advice is to study the genetic characteristics of horses, as well as the traits of their ancestors, because often the genetic traits overtake one of the generations. You should also look at the largest possible number of pictures of their ancestors and talk with breeders who were contemporary with these ancestors, and as I mentioned before, I advise you to visit horse breeding farms, attend horse shows and monitor their endurance as well as horse races, and you should also attend horse training and jumping competitions.
And you must know what the reality of the Arabian horse means, not in its external form but in its spirit and imagination, and truly believe in the art of education. The most important thing is to study beautiful art. Painted animals such as “Adam – Gili Colt – Gross – Morris – and Vernet” and others. You also have to visit temples in Upper Egypt and Karnak.
To feel the emotions and essence of the horse, it is not only a material issue .. No… You have to learn something about the horse’s spirit, essence, and origin… What makes the Arabian horse so different from other breeds, and why is the Egyptian horse different from the rest of the other Arab horses?
There is more to do about the process of breeding, selection, and putting together strains with the same characteristics, but first of all you must have a vision and then you must be patient and learn that after that you have to live with the various sacrifices, and that perfection is not aware when you go to buy things and then put them together and then You hope that the matter will be good and that everything will be fine .. No, it is not, because there are unexpected bad things, such as the loss of a horse, a foal, or a newborn expected.
And so I think that my basic advice is to first learn how to raise, receive advice, study pictures and paintings, understand the old horse, talk to people, do not listen to everything the sellers say, and know how to differentiate between those who tell you the truth and those who want to buy you their goods, and take your time, maybe years until you take A decision and you feel that it is a good decision away from swinging between this and that when some appear and then disappear to tell you what you should do for your purchase of what is not good. So you should study and receive advice and listen to your heart as well.
I remember my advice once again to learn everything related to breeding, and listen to the advice of experienced breeders, more than to listen to those who want to sell them as a commodity or talk to those who own old pictures of horses that express the past and the present.
