Hi! My name is Miranda Beaubien I would like to subscribe to arab talk. I have one arab named Tsyede who is my pride and joy. I endurance race with him and last month we did his first 25 miler. He thought that business was glorious so I am keeping him in it. If anyone does endurance or would just like to talk about arabs then write me at andyb@neosoft.com Miranda

---------------Alia (One of your editors)----------
Hi, my name is Alia Walton! I am 15 years old and a sophomore at Sandpoint High School, in Sandpoint (Idaho). I own one gray AQHA and just recently fell in love with the arabian horse. One of my favorite arabs is H.A. Mnisha, whom I show at local and "A" level in hunter, western, equitation, and sidesaddle. We recently finished our first year together capturing the Emerald Empire Junior Arabian Horse Club High Point Youth 14-17 end of the year award. My other interests include acting (in plays), playing piano (although I stopped lessons for a while to pursue horses), basketball, skiing, youth group, writing for my junior arab club newsletter, and singing! I am looking foreward to hearing about all of you on Arab Talk!

Hello Everyone! I figured you'd probably want to know a little bit about your editors, so heres some stuff about me! I am 14 years old, and a freshman at SHS. My family owns Rosebrook Arabians (you can see our page at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/8258 ) and we currently have 5 horses. My 1/2 Arab Gelding and I traveled to the Youth Nationals this summer, and brought back home 3 top-tens (of which we're very proud!!) Kasada is for sale, (he'll be in the Arab Horse Times in Febuary) and I'm looking for something to replace him with. Besides horses, I love to act, sing, and do things. I love being in charge of stuff!! My mom is an artist, and she does bronzes and jewelry, and as soon as I get my scanner working, her art will be on our page. I hope you all love Arab Talk (this was Fiona's idea I might add) and I hope to hear from all of you soon!!

I was wondering what your guy's views are on the abuse going on in the Arab industry. Do you wish it would stop, feel it has stopped or just ignore it?? Post your answers in the next issue!!

~~~~~~~BREAKING NEWS AND CLUBS~~~~~~~~
IAHA has reinstated the peformance requirement. The rule now reads "Before a horse 4 and over can compete at any National Championship Show, the horse must have have been either entered, shown and placed in the top 50% of a perfomance class of at least 3 horses in a class A, B, Regional or National show or a approved Endurance or Competitive trail ride or race." Hopefully this will elimante those contenders with the bad legs, eh???
///////END OF ARAB TALK ISS. #1\\\\\\\
Arab Talk didn't always start out as "Arab Talk." The first four issues were under the name Arabian Talk, which was shortened to Arab Talk on the fifth.
Many of you will remember this adorable filly from our first baby contest. Arab Talk member Peggi, of Equizotic, and Cassy, were the lucky winners in the Overall and Way A Head divisions of the contest.
Arab Talk member Annetta Tinsman and her daughter, Rebecca, enjoyed a victorious Youth Nationals in '97, bringing home a top-ten and championship in walk-trot. Arab Talk member Pat Duncker, of Bit-O-Honey Farm,
was the first ever to appear on our pages as a result of the Spotlight! program. Her stallion, Serabyi de Espana, was featured as well as several other bloodstock from her farm.
Member Joan Stone, of Stone Image Arabians, was quick to follow Pat's Spotlight. Her write-up appeared on the pages during the month of September. 
Member Pat Troiber and her ranch Nairobi Acres were presented on our page after signing up for the Spotlight program. Susan Mayo and her farm Susar Farm Egyptian Arabians were guests on our homepage during the month of August.
Her stallion Masada El Rabdan was featured as well as her breeding program.
Our first Most Classic Contest, resulted in the beautiful Ombre Rose, owned by member Dale and Laura Goodrich of Arabian Hills, being named the Most Classic Overall winner.
"Tub" took home the '98 Overall award in the second annual baby contest for his owners, Whispering Hills Arabians. C&N Arabians appeared on our pages in July as a spotlight, with their stallion
Manjana Bey.

Kover Song and Show Stopper Arabians made an appearance on our pages in October. US Nationals found the appearances of three AT Members and their horses:

And our second year as a publication was finished off with the second annual Most Classic Arabian contest, which saw the crowning of
BFC Petros, owned by Michelle Wilson, as Most Classic Overall. We'd like to thank everyone for making Arab Talk, we couldn't have done it without you! We'd also like to thank those of you who have purchased or donated to Arab Talk during '98.
