Made with Xara © Patricia Westmore/ 2013 Pure, Courageous, Loyal and True - The Egyptian Arabian Story of the Herd when boarding: When I was boarding and had just the three horses, the people I boarded with decided to put my already in tact herd directly into their herd. They thought that because Ali was little he would not be a threat to their herd boss. Well, Mah Haretta, Ali Aamah, and Sierra Ibn Blacky marched down to meet the herd boss with Mah Haretta making faces that would drop a warrior in their tracks, and Blacky running circles around Mah Haretta and Ali, I presume to protect them and maybe illustrate that they were a herd. Ali Aamah marched straight to the herd boss and took him down with my then 89-year-old mother cheering him on. I can still hear my mother yelling, "GET HIM ALI!!" Needless to say we were kicked out. Moral of the story: Never put an intact herd in with another herd. Moral 2: Don't underestimate the power of a small horse with great breeding!!
