I am very familiar with the abuses at Arab shows, I was in it and saw it even at the local level. Vinegar in their orifices to make them carry their tail up in halter class?

I had a stallion.... the whole environment turned him on, so I didn't have a reason to cheat. But I wouldn't have done that.

Oh lordy...who thought that one up?

That was the old days. The last I heard, it was OC pepper spray. Marl knows some small-time local Arab breeders who travel in the big-time circuit. They seem to know every horse and owner, and whatever dirt there is on them.

Marl feels that halter-class horses are just lawn ornaments, who are trained only to take a set for judging. Her Arabs are sport horses that can do just about anything, if you're smarter and more experienced than they are.
