 Omni Arabians' Open House Is A Success!
Debra Geiser of Dara Meadows Farm in Lexington, VA, recaps last month's open house, hosted by Omni Arabians...
Debra writes, "On a sunny but chilly day in April, Egyptian aficionados gathered at Omni Arabians in Gettysburg, PA to enjoy a day of education and socializing."
Pyramid Society Membership Committee members Polly Schaefer and Debra Geiser planned a fun afternoon and provided lunch for a group of over thirty eager attendees. After everyone had eaten their fill of sandwiches and cookies, Dr Hunt of Mason-Dixon Equine and long time veterinarian at Omni, spoke on the trials and tribulations of breeding the "problem" mare...
Following Dr. Hunt's presentation, Steve Dady, owner and head trainer at Omni, brought out two lovely yearlings and demonstrated some halter training techniques. The wind was howling by this time but the two horses behaved very well and showed the results of having been patiently and professionally schooled.
We all will look forward to seeing these babies make their debut at the Egyptian Event. After a presentation of a few of the stallions standing at Omni, everyone began saying their goodbyes with lots of promises to meet again in Lexington in June.

 HOG Wild for Egyptian Arabians
Life Member Wanda Kenworthy of Paradise Arabians in Lafayette, GA, writes in with news of Paradise Arabians' recent Harley Day, held Saturday, April 13th from noon to 4pm...
"We had 63 Harleys coming down the lane," she writes, "Each Harley had mostly couples, so it was a huge group. They were business people that belong to this HOG (Harley Owners Group), and they were all delightful. Most had never seen a Straight Egyptian, nor a baby horse. They LOVED it!"

 Asante' Arabians Spring Update
Donna Bagar of Asante Arabians shares some of the exciting news from Asante' Arabians: A new location, photoshoot and more!
Donna writes, "Asante' Arabians has moved to their new facility at Summerwind Farms in Shelbyville, Tennessee, and has completed their first photo session." Asante' Arabians is pleased to present new pictures of the regionally and nationally titled stallion, KMF Ali Calypso (Calypso Dance x C Princess Rakia). We are also very proud to introduce the very first pictures of Heir Born (Imperial Imdal+ x Amiri Jalee by Shaikh Al Badi) (right). Heir Born provides a precious source of the treasured bloodlines of Imperial Imdal+. A grey stallion born in 2000, he spent the first 12 years of his life as a beloved pet. Heir Born has a beautiful attitude, a well-set neck with a clean and masculine head that is full of nobility. This beautiful stallion is book limited to ten mares, approved by Asante' Arabians.
Asante' Arabians is also introducing their new logo. Jim Felder of Madison, Alabama designed the new logo, and it will be implemented in all of their upcoming marketing and social media material.
