This is a group to facilitate discussion of the ARABIAN horse and the issues that affect the breed as a whole and as a part of a species. It is also a place...
Hi, Can I get a 'cheat sheet' run-down of ALL the initials following a horse's name and preceeding the number on a pedigree? I feel like I should know all...
... I ... running ... Hi Nancy, Yes, I just happen to have such a 'cheat sheat' on my web site. I did it to help with my pedigrees and books, which are now...
The best place to go for that is the Arabian Horse Association website. (data source to be exact) They list all the registry initials that are out there that...
THANKS so much to you and Eva!!! I knew I had seen it before (and actually had seen Eva's list AND Datasource) but couldn't find them again and couldn't...
Eva... Just rejoined this thread in the middle I think. How does one arrive at the Initials in an arabians name and how do they register it? I know the SE is...
... arrive at ... What we were discussing was the codes that are used to designate the COUNTRY, or rather the specific registry, particularly for non-US ...
Personally I like a horse to have a unique name that means something and doesn't have initials etc. It is possible to use a farm name initial sequence and have...
Using initials in a horse's name is simply a naming scheme of the breeder. Some farms use them some do not. The horses I have bred have the suffix "DE" in...
... time and have ... And what about the OTHER 2000 or so Ay-rabs that are named "SA-something-or-other? Just for fun, I tried looking in my 1999 Arabian...
That was a farm called Locust Hills Farm that not only used the LHF in the name for breeders designation, but they also used initials of parents for an easy...
Bucky Van Locust, my stallion, was from there. From what I have been told, he was bred before they went in the Prizlaff direction. I have an Ango mare by...
I wish the Registry would change the policy so that if a name IS changed, it has to be approved by the original party naming the horse! How do you folks feel...
The initials can be farm name initials. My former mare FK Fascination the FK stands for Florida Korporation. Bonnie ... From: ladygentleheart1025@... To:...
... party ... I totally DON'T agree. If I buy a horse, it will most likely stay with me for the rest of it's life. I do not necessarily want to advertise...
I don't see the need for name changes. I really don't like the problem with aquiring an owner-breeder agreement to a name change. Anyone who has EVER tried to...

Well keep in mind that the renaming is only allowed on horses that have never had registered progeny. If they have had registered progeny they can't be...
And I agree with awful names. I bought a 4 month old colt (my first purebred Arab show horse) and he was named Harry something or other...it was an awful name....
As a small breeder, I really resent that someone would only want to change the name of the horse I put alot of thought, time and heart into breeding just...

I do not necessarily want to advertise some other small breeder every time I take the horse out of my back yard. That small breeder might be trying to make a...
... If that breeders designation was yours AND ONLY YOURS, I can see the point, but chances are that several other breeders use the EXACT SAME initials. It is...
I'm with you Eva. Farm initals mean nothing because of the duplicates out. I don't and won't use them. And there are some God awful names out there that I...
