SENSORY HAIRS

The FEI has determined that any measures to trim or shave off a horse's sensory hairs, including whiskers, eyelashes and the hairs of the inner ear, is not permitted and shall lead to an elimination of the combination for the competition's duration.

Sensory hairs are of extreme importance for proprioception for the horse. They aid the horse's ability to judge distance and navigate in the dark. It has been shown that trimming or shaving these hairs leads to increased susceptibility to injury.

The emphasis on extreme physical features in Arabian horse shows has led to welfare concerns. Traits like exaggeratedly dished faces, ultra-thin necks, or excessively high tail carriage are sometimes prioritized over functional soundness. This pursuit of idealized aesthetics can lead to breeding horses that are prone to respiratory, musculoskeletal, or reproductive issues. It also encourages practices like artificial tail-setting or excessive grooming methods that can cause discomfort. Changing show standards to prioritize health and natural beauty over extreme traits is necessary to protect the welfare of the breed. This shift would also encourage breeders to produce healthier, more balanced horses.

: In 1893, newspaper illustrator Homer Davenport attended the Chicago World’s Fair. After seeing the magnificent Arabian horses exhibited there, he was mesmerized. They were unlike anything he had ever seen in his life. He became determined to travel to the desert - to the very ends of the earth - to find and to acquire authentic desert-bred Arabian horses for himself.
In the years that followed, Homer Davenport studied everything he could lay his hands on about Arabian horses. He bought and imported the stallion *NEJDRAN from England and eventually acquired some of the horses exhibited at the World Fair.
In 1906, Davenport received permission to import horses from Turkey and set out on an excursion to find and purchase the horses of his dreams. Davenport was able to purchase and import 17 stallions and 10 mares. This importation was of major importance to the Arabian horse breed in America as many consider it the unofficial beginning of the Davenport Arabian breeding program, which became world famous and which still influences our Arabian horses of today. Pictured here are the stallion *Haleb, and the famous war mare *Wadduda.
The history of the Arabian horse is full of adventure and excitement. The Al-Marah Arabian Horse Galleries, located at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY, are dedicated to preserving this priceless history. Plan your visit to The Al-Marah Arabian Horse Galleries today to learn more and to enjoy a magic carpet ride of fantasy.

Early American Sires Exhibit: RASEYN

At the same time Jadaan was making his film debut, another notable stallion was making his way to Kellogg Ranch in California. *Raseyn, a son of the famed stallion Skowronek, was bred by Lady Wentworth. In the U.S., *Raseyn became a very prolific sire, producing 135 foals. He routinely starred in the Kellogg Sunday shows and later followed Jadaan to Hollywood. *Raseyn soon became the public face of the Arabian horse in America.
