Operation Cowboy Junior Individual Documentary Sophia Winters
Operation Cowboy Junior Individual Documentary Sophia Winters Process Paper: 395 I chose to do the National History Day project over Operation Cowboy. I knew I wanted to do something horse related when I learned about the project and I found that many people were not aware of this event in history. After debating between this topic and various other equine-related events, I chose operation cowboy because it seemed to best fit the theme. I started my research with a book. The Perfect Horse, by Elizabeth Letts. It had the most detailed account of what happened. I had read the book before but I read it again to mark important details and events as well as to refresh my memory. I then turned to online sources. Unfortunately, not a lot of information exists about this topic so some extra research was required. I started coming across news articles that were very helpful and photographs from the event. Finding an interview was also a struggle. I made was able to contact the author of The Perfect Horse, Elizabeth Letts, but she was on tour for a new book she is writing. She was able to connect me with someone whose father had been on the mission. Maureen Quinlivian-Nolen was very helpful and agreed to answer my questions. We emailed a couple times before she emailed me her response to my questions. She was also able to provide a picture of her and a picture of her dad. After the majority of my research was done I realized I needed to finalize my decision on what form of presentation I would choose. -

Timeline of the Development of the Horse
SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 177 August, 2007 Timeline of the Development of the Horse by Beverley Davis Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series edited by Victor H. Mair. The purpose of the series is to make available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including Romanized Modern Standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino-Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. The only style-sheet we honor is that of consistency. Where possible, we prefer the usages of the Journal of Asian Studies. Sinographs (hanzi, also called tetragraphs [fangkuaizi]) and other unusual symbols should be kept to an absolute minimum. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form. -

QUIZ: How Well Do You Know Your Arabian Horse History? Courtesy of the Purebred Arabian Trust website – www.purebredarabiantrust.com 1. What is the oldest breed of horse? The Arabian 2. When do we first see the imagery of a horse resembling the modern Arabian? a. Around 1890 BC b. Around 1520 BC c. Around 230 AD (From the leader of a migrating community called the “Hyksos” that moved into New Kingdom Egypt and brought the first large numbers of horses into Egypt along with its military technology.) 3. Nearly 1,000 years later, what recognizable culture was instrumental in fostering the Arabian horse breed that descended from the Hyksos community? a. The Ancient Mesopotamians b. The Eqyptians c. The Bedouins of the Arabian Peninsula (This culture was instrumental in fostering the Arabian breed because they depended so heavily on the horse for its utilitarian and survival purposes in the desert.) 4. What color were Bedouin tents? a. White b. Tan c. Black (Black to absorb the sun’s heat. The tents were traditionally woven from goats’ hair. When it rained, the weave contracted and did not let the water in. In the heat of the summer, the outside of the tent felt very hot to touch, but the inside stayed relatively cool.) 5. Arabians were often kept in tents along with the family rather than outside with other animals. What was their primary purpose inside the tent, besides companionship with the family? a. Representation of spiritual hierarchy b. Safety from raids and predators c. Protection of women and children (Although they frequently became a pillow as well!) 6. -
Santa Ynez Valley Equestrian Association
SYV Farms and Locations Santa Ynez The Valley That Belongs to the Arabian Horse Photo by April Visel by Evie Tubbs Sweeney SYVAHA.COM 17 “Riding on one of those three-lined trails, or gazing up at the wester skies, well, there’s no better way i know of to sort out a problem.” | Ronald Regan (Santa Ynez Valley resident) I began my love affair with the Arabian horse in 1st Grade. The breed’s inward and outward beauty spoke to me even as a child. That’s why, in my mind, there was only one place I wanted to ever go: The incandescent and glorious Santa Ynez Valley, aglow with farm-lined streets of world-class Arabian horses set against the soft ripples of the Santa Ynez mountains. However, despite world travel, my first opportunity didn’t present itself until 2005 when I was a young adult. I remember driving Highway 154 over the mountains from Santa Barbara and passing a sign that said “Santa Ynez 20 Miles.” My heart physically skipped. I felt like a giddy kid getting ready to meet her lifelong hero. Like a dream, the next vista was a panorama of such biblical beauty – the moun- tains of Santa Ynez seemed to blend the dramatic green scenes of Ireland and the romantic beauty of Italy – that it hit me. Beauty attracts beauty. This place, this heaven on earth, is the fitting castle for its royal resident, the Arabian horse. The Santa Ynez Valley has intoxicated its visitors for decades, but has also man- aged to stay true to its rich agricultural and equine roots. -

Celebrating Fifty Years
CELEBRATING FIFTY YEARS Regions I and II H eritage Com m ittee 1999 FOREWORD When we decided to present a history of IAHA’s first fifty years, we didn’t want to simply chronicle names, dates and activities. Anyone could do that. We wanted this to be special. As we went about our research, we stumbled across Earle and Frances Hurlbutt’s series on IAHA’s first 25 years that appeared in the Arabian Horse World in the late 1970’s. Then it hit us!! Why not let those who were most intimately involved tell the story for us? Let's get the story directly from the horse’s mouth! We telephoned Denise Hearst at the Arabian Horse World and shared our idea with her. Without hesitation, she gave us permission to reprint the article. Now we were on our way! Next, we contacted all of the Past Presidents of IAHA that we could locate; in some cases, we gathered our information from spouses, trainers, children, etc. It was our plan to begin with the Hurlbutts’ history, augment it with information from as many Past Presidents as possible, and end with Tom Connelly’s thoughts on his first year as IAHA’s current President. So here it is! We would like to thank Denise Hearst and the Arabian Horse World, as well as Sue Brown who donated her time and talent helping us prepare this history for printing. We are both grateful for and proud of the original art that was created specifically for us by the talented artist, Johanne Strong.
