Pretty Arabian horses

Recently we stayed with friends on their Arabian horse stud. They live near Quinninup (another great West Australian name). They have twenty-three horses, including two stallions. There are also yearlings, two-year-olds and brood mares, plus a couple of adorable foals. They also have whippets. The daughter of the couple rides in endurance and recently completed 160 kms in a 24 hour period. She is tiny and weighs in (saddle and all) at about 60 kgs. She often travels to a ride on her own, sets up a yard for her horse and does all her own strapping of the horse before, during and after the ride. She has a daughter of her own who is equally at home among the horses. And now we’ve just heard that she has broken her arm. That will mean double the work for her mother and father.

She has a plate in the arm now. I think it will take a while to heal.

Yes- lots of work and bother for the parents. The Horses look nice and remind me of The Black Beauty and some other Tales! "Quinninup" - Quee - nn - e - nup.... Now that would surely take some time to memorize!!

It's actually Quin-nn-e-nup but that's a very good attempt. Well done! .

Oh, how sad that she broke her arm. Hope it’ll heal “normally” without any surgery required. Quinninup. I would ask where they got these names, but I live in a state with places like Paint Lick and Sugart*t. PS: You didn’t mention the waterfall in Quinninup!

Those are strange names indeed. We don't have any to match those! Thanks for the link. Quinninup Falls isn't anywhere near Quinninup but further south near Wilyabrup.

When the babies mumble something - these Australians try to spell it and that is how they get such funny names... I wonder if there is a place in this world called burp.

Sad about that accident! History tells that even kings had fatal mishaps riding their horses.

I hope your friends daughters arm heals. I would love to see your friends horse farm. One of the things I loved when we traveled to Kentucy to see my Dad when he was alive, was to go by all the beautiful horse farms.

Kentucky is well known for all its thoroughbred studs. I'm sure the paddocks are filled with beautiful horses.

She has a plate in her arm so it must be quite serious.

I am sorry for the girl, I hope it's not too bad and they can fix her arm easily. All those horses are beautiful. Just curiosity, how much does a saddle weight?

@JudyEv Thank you Judy, I thought that a saddle is not really light, it's not easy to lift 11 Kg.

Beautiful horses. What a shame about the broken arm! Did that happen while riding or some totally unrelated accident?

Pint-sized though she is, she does all her own shoeing. The young mare kicked out and connected with her arm. She now has a six-inch plate in it.
