DID YOU KNOW Thoroughbreds and Arabians are known as thin skinned relating to how fine and sensitive their skin is. In the naming of Arabian horses "ibn" means son of and "bini" means daughter of. The Arabian horse is the national symbol of the United Arab Emirates. The Arabian horse can have 17 ribs; 5 lumbar vertebrae and 16 tail vertebrae which is in each case less than other horse breeds. The earliest imports to be registered in the American Arabian Horse Club Stud Book were the stallions *Leopard 233 and *Linden Tree 234 in 1879 as a gift to General Ulysses
Grant from Sultan Abdul Hamid II. The first Russian bred Arabian to be registered in North America was *Gouneiad 21 in 1893 who was owned by Grand Duke Dimitry and was shown at the Worlds Fair in Chicago. In 1934, the first importation of Arabian horses from Spain to North America was accomplished by J.E. Draper. The first regular purebred Arabian race with paramutuel and from a starting gate was run in Canada in 1981 in Vernon, B.C. under the jurisdiction of the B.C. Racing. R.D PAYNE EQUINE SCHOLARSHIP In 2012, the Red River Exhibition Association's Board of Directors renamed the Red River Exhibition Association's Equine Scholarship, the R.D. Payne Equine Scholarship, in honour of former director Rick Payne. The scholarship will provide financial assistance to individuals actively involved in the equine community whose passion for the equine sport and dedication are evident in their competitive activities and contributions to their chosen equine discipline.
