There’s much discussion about the differences between the racing-type Arabian and the old-style desert type. Lots about the different Turkish and Syrian strains (Maneki Hadruj, Jilfe, Saklavi Shiefi, Cifteler, Saklawi Jedran, Kuheyla Sherif, Maneki Subeyli, Kuheylan Nowak, Hamdani Simri, Jedrania, Obeyya Sherrak, etc.). The author and her husband traveled around to many tiny villages to inspect and photograph Arabians. They ended up buying two young horses and trained them to race. Judith Forbis rode them in the local race meets, despite the extremely rough conditions and interference (both physical and bureaucratic) she encountered, at a time when the local women were still behind the veil. An amazing story of women’s rights, accompanied by the author’s own photographs as well as some historical photos of distinctive Turkish Arabians. Pastedowns show a map of the area. A nifty extra is that taped to the title page is an original Polaroid photo of a young woman with a foal, and the woman certainly resembles Judith Forbis!
