ON THE COVER: RA NOCTURNEBy Ally NelsonAs featured in the Spring 2024 issue of Arabian Horse World"Armed with those photos to start showing him off, several breeders were interested in buying the colt. If Nocturne had been better to video, there would be no telling where he would be today, but that was not the case. He ran like Seattle Slew for thirty minutes every time they tried to video him. Meanwhile, he is growing up prettier and prettier and has never gone through the rough, gawky stage that most colts do."Visit the link to read more on our cover story, click arabianhorseworld.com/ra-nocturne/

ON THE COVER: RA NOCTURNEBy Ally Nelson As featured in the Spring 2024 issue of Arabian Horse World"Shawn hurried to Virginia to see Nocturne when he was about three months old. Mark and Shawn told Greg, “Hang on to him and let him grow up. Let’s watch this one.” As he turned a year old, he looked fantastic, and the well-known photographer Suzanne Sturgill came out to capture him in all his glory."Read more about our cover feature, RA NOCTURNE, here: arabianhorseworld.com/ra-nocturne/
The Desire To Inspire. A special and original Karen Kasper bronze bust, of the legendary stallion Thee Desperado, sold at auction for $10,000 at the Classic Egyptian Championships cocktail reception in Ocala, Florida.It is list number 3 of this great Straight Egyptian Arabian sculpture. The bust of Thee Desperado was auctioned in honor of fellow breeder, the late Steve Arnold. Marc Arnold, his widow, donated the bronze bust in Steve’s memory with the resulting funds from the auction going to The Classic Egyptian Championships, a show that Steve strongly believed promoted the promise of the future for showing, sharing, and enjoying Egyptian Arabian horses. Steve Arnold loved Thee Desperado so dearly. It would make him happy and quite proud to know that in some way he contributed to future projects of the Classic Egyptian Championships.We are more than sure that in heaven Steve has taken full advantage of the opportunity to feed big red apples to Thee Desperado while running his hand over that long, fine neck and silky bay coat.You see, there have not been but a handful of straight Egyptian stallions with the high level of notoriety created by this magnificent horse. He was a United States Reserve National Champion Stallion and Scottsdale Champion Stallion and a sire supreme. He was Thee Desperado. #SummitViewFarm #EgyptianArabians #ArabianHorses #HorseBreeding #Horse
