vol. 1
A unique and extremely useful publication about the first Arabians imported and registered in North America. The horses are presented in numerical order. Each entry includes information about its pedigree, breeder, strain, and offspring, as well as at least one photograph (if available, and most have them) and a conformation analysis. Contains sire line and family line charts, background material on breeders, and many rare photographs. Volume II has a wonderful section on the variety of colors (even parti-color) and markings found in Arabians, and although it is in black and white, it is still fascinating. First published in two volumes. Horses numbered 1 – 232 (*Nejdme-*Nimr) are in Volume I and horses numbered 233-485 (*Leopard-*Kola) are in Volume II. The first editions of Volumes I and II are out-of-print, but revised editions (now in 3 volumes and running through horse number 518) are currently available.
