From The Editor
The Arabian horse community has become a tight knit group worldwide due to the Internet and other modern technology. These days everyone is curious to know what is happening with Arabian horses internationally, while keeping up to date with news in their own country.
To help quench this thirst for knowledge we are delighted to present the inaugural Australian Arabian Horse News Online Newsletter. Included in this issue are regional show reports, news and personality profiles.
We love hearing from our readers, so please send me your feedback and let me know what you would like to read in future editions. If you have a story you would like to share, please contact me at sharon@vinkpub.com
Feel free to forward this newsletter to your friends and to visit the Australian Arabian Horse News on Facebook!
Happy trails!

All Things are Possible
All things are possible to those who believe. It's the motto I chose for my stud, Lavender Park, in 1996. I have seen it ring true with nearly every venture I've undertaken, however, nothing was going to prepare me for the emotional roller coaster in purchasing our first straight Egyptian Arabian mare.
