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.
A agree about the Arab. They are a terrific and versatile breed.
