ABW GREAT DANES           ABW LITTERBOX               ARABIANS BY WENDY
Many people continue to ask me about my years of breeding & showing Arabian horses. I've decided to go through some of my collection of photos & share some photos of the fun, joy I had showing & breeding. My deepest thanks to wonderful mentors in Michael Byatt, Robert Cass, Cathy Thomas, David & Kathy Teitrick, who allowed me to reach my goals in dressage, halter & driving. My life has had it's ups & downs like most of you...but I was one of the truely blessed ones, to have had a glimse of Gods grace,  by sharing my life for so many years with the Egyptian Arabians.      Wendy
Ramses, was the 2nd Arabian we purchased in 1987. He was a retired Arabian racehorse & a "wild child" when we first layed eyes on him...however through love & dedication....he became an outstanding lower level dressage horse.
Shaikeme (below) playing with his ball (at Talaria Farms in Georgia) ..his favorite past time! Shaikeme was a son of the world famous Shaikh Al Shaheer & in his own right was a accomplished Champion open driving/obstacle driving competitor, halter Champion &  undefeated "Most Classic" Champion.
We have lost a great treasure, in Patrick Swayze. I had the pleasure to meet him at the Egyptian Event in the 80's. I was cleaning my stall, just minding my own business & through the slats...a man in the adjoining stall began talking to me. I walked to the back of the stall & there was Patrick Swayze...cleaning his own stall! He was joking about needing to clean the stall, to get away from the "mobs" of reporters. We chatted about dogs & horses & that was my first meeting of Patrick Swayze. Through the years to come....he & his beautiful wife Lisa, just blended in at the Egyptian Event. He seemed embarrassed when people would fuss over him too much...& we all really did try to allow him to do what he wanted to do, which was "just show his horses"......he just seemed to be one of us...so i rarely even thought about taking pictures of him....however one year I invited my cousin & her kids to the "Event" & when they saw him, they "FREAKED OUT"........they were so excited to see him., so i snapped some pictures then.

He was a wonderfully talented man but what I remember most about him, is his care & devotion to Lisa & his admiration of his horses....

My deepest sympathy Lisa..........
