I just read the rest of the posts in this thread and I would just like  
to say that a really good Arab is worth it's weight in gold. They are  
just rarer than hen's teeth.  What passes for an Arab today is a man- 
made monstrosity, but not so long ago, they were beautiful, smart,  
hardy, smart, easily kept, and smart. There are some good old  
fashioned ones still out there, but...not many.

My first pony, and my oldest's too...(same pony) was an Arab. He kept  
both of us, and a lot of other kids in between times, happy and safe,  
when I was so stupid as a kid, I really ought to have been killed by  
him.

He was Polish. The Egyptian ones...oh my god. They don't even look  
like real horses anymore.
