Hi Members & Friends of ARAB: As we greet the New Year of 2014, ARAB in-vites our members to share new foals, competi-

tion results and experiences with just enjoying our Arabian horses. Everyone is encouraged to invite fellow Arabian-horse owners and enthusiasts to join ARAB. My resolution for this year is to add members to ARAB. Please join me. Our Region 2 Delegate shares her report on the January 18 Region 2 meeting on page 2 of this Newsletter. Please note the increase in dues if you renew your membership after March 31. Details on page 5.

President

Hi, A.R.A.B. Members: Happy New Year!! We have already held our first Regional meeting of the year in Bakersfield on

January 18, 2014. We had good attend-ance. This was the first meeting since the Convention; therefore, we started with review of the resolutions. The results of the resolutions and elections were reported in the ARAB December, 2013, Newsletter, but are repeated for those who missed them in the December issue on the following pages of this Newslet-ter. The Director’s report also discussed what happened at Convention and dis-cussion of Regions giving donations at convention. Annually, most Regions, if not all, donate to important Equine or-ganizations which support or assure the well being of the Arabian horse. There have been a few occasions where our Region does not have quorum at Con-vention; therefore, a donation cannot be approved at that time. The delegation discussed this issue, and approved a total amount allowed to be donated at conventions, and those Region 2 dele-gates at convention will decide which organizations to donate to and how much. We will be holding an election of Re-gion 2 Officers in July 2014 for the 2015 – 2016 term. A nominating com-mittee was appointed, and they will be reaching out to all Region 2 members who may be interested in holding an Officer’s position. Our Treasurer, Annette Wells, presented the 2013 Budget vs. Actual report, and Region 2 has a surplus of over $30,000. This surplus was a result of

Stacey’s art work!

the successful 2013 Region 2 Champion-ship show held in June. The meeting moved on to the 2014 Budget. This task took most of the meeting. All delegates participated in the process, and we all feel that our 2014 budget is fair and within reason. I want to note that the National Equine Stress committee is taking in considera-tion the findings published in Lorry Wagner’s new book “Influence of Foot

-Length on the Gait of Horses.” This is a credit to Lorry’s dedication to the Arabian horse and its well being. For more information on this book, see page 6 of this Newsletter. Our next Region 2 Delegate meeting will be on April 19 in Santa Ynez. If you have any questions about the activities at Regional level, please feel free to contact me, Stephanie Bennett (805) 328-7186 or email [email protected]

ARAB invites anyone to share their story, history of their particular method of training or other subjects of interest to the Arabian horse readers of this Newsletter. If you have a “story to tell” you are welcome to submit same, but it must be in reference to the Arabian horse breed.

This book addresses the results of tests

done over the Texas A&M force place for

the purpose of proving that proper length

of hoof is imperative to keeping a sound

and healthy horse moving within the pa-

rameters of its natural movement. Other-

wise, improper care can lead to lameness

and other problems in many places over

the body.
