Kellogg Arabian Horse Library Postcard and Notecard Collection, Collection no. 0015, W.K. Kellogg Arabian Horse Library, Special Collections and Archives, University Library, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. Immediate Source of Acquisition The W.K. Kellogg Arabian Horse Library actively collects postcards and notecards related to the W.K. Kellogg Ranch, Manor House, and Kellogg Company. Materials in the collection have been both purchased by and donated to the Library. Biographical / Historical In 1925, cereal magnate W.K. Kellogg established an Arabian horse breeding program at his winter ranch home in Pomona, California. The Kellogg Ranch became a popular destination for 1920s Hollywood stars and the horses were showcased for the public at Sunday shows. W.K. Kellogg donated the ranch to the state of California in 1932 with the stipulation that the Arabian breeding program and Sunday shows continue. During World War II, the ranch was used by U.S. Army as a remount depot to breed horses for the cavalry. After the war, the ranch was briefly administered by the Department of Agriculture before being turned over to California State Polytechnic College San Luis Obispo for use as their southern branch in 1949. The campus grew rapidly in the post-war period and Cal Poly Pomona was established as a separate school in 1966. Cal Poly has maintained the Arabian horse breeding program and Sunday shows to the present day according to W.K. Kellogg's wishes. Scope and Contents The majority of the collection contains postcards depicting the horses of the W.K. Kellogg Ranch, which are organized alphabetically. The other three series in the collection include postcards depicting the Kellogg Company, the Kellogg House, and the W.K. Kellogg Ranch, which are also organized alphabetically. Arrangement The collection is organized into the following series: 1. Horses; 2. Kellogg Company; 3. Kellogg House; 4. Kellogg Ranch.

Metz Breeder and Co-owner of Design and Editorial Assistance, Silver Maple Farm Beth Ellen Hunziker - 1 - INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION A fter my first article titled, “The How and Why of Foundation Stud Books”, I wanted to continue by tracing the development of recorded Arabian Stud Books, which were predated by the fascinating Bedouin tradition of oral pedi- grees. This has been a journey that encompasses learning, not just about Arabian horses, but the cultures and history of each country and the people involved with this magnificent crea- ture. In my opinion the Arabian horse is the “Ultimate Ambas- sador” uniting people all over the world because of their love of the horse. The Middle East is where the Arabian horse breed began, so it is fitting that I begin here as well. My hope is that you will enjoy reading this piece as much as I enjoyed researching and writing it. Christie Metz Scouts on the Lookout by Adolf Schreyer - 2 - - 3 - ORIGINS OF THE ARABIAN HORSE - SCIENCE, THEORY AND HYPOTHESES Different theories abound as to where the Arabian horse originated. There is scientific archeological evidence supporting a theory that the breed originated along the northern edge of an area known as the Fertile Crescent. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica (updated 2014), the Fertile Crescent is located between the Arabian Desert to the south and the mountains of Armenia to the north.

  • The British Museum Exhibition
    The British Museum exhibition The Horse: Ancient Arabia to the Modern World The British Museum, London 24th May – 30th September 2012 Free admission or the very first time the British F Museum is holding an exhibition devoted to the horse, with a display tracing the animal’s story across thousands of years of human history. The free exhibition, which opened in May and runs until the end of September, is timed to coincide with the Olympic Games, but is also conceived as a Diamond Jubilee present to The Queen, a celebrated horse breeder. The exhibition ranges from a stylised figure which decorated a 3,000 year old harness, to the Georgian thoroughbreds by Anne BrownPhotograph Hambletonian and Diamond, immortalised on a gambler’s gaming chip – appropriately since Hambletonian won a staggering 3,000 guinea prize when he beat Diamond by a short head at Newmarket in 1799. Painting of the Godolphin Arabian by George Stubbs The exhibition includes paintings by George Stubbs, newly excavated carvings of horses from Saudi Arabia, panoramic photographs of incised horses on rock faces which may be thousands of years old, clay tablets promising gifts of horses and chariots and beautiful harness decorations, some in pure gold. The wild horse was domesticated at least 5,000 years ago and probably far earlier, initially for meat and later for transport, transforming how far man could travel and how much he could carry. The exhibition traces the evolution of the elegant, swift Arabian horses, associated in legend with King Solomon and The Prophet Muhammad. Said to have been created by angels or born out of the wind, they were prized more highly Detail of a gigapan photograph of one of more than 2000 than gold, and made suitable gifts for petraglyphs discovered in the Saudi desert.

  • Lesson Plan 1
    Lesson Plan 1. Arabian Horses – Ancient History A. Arabian horses evolved in the desert over thousands of years. They were bred by the Bedouins, a nomadic people who treasured their horses. They selected breeding stock carefully to be sound, agile, and loyal. These traits served the horses well in the harsh desert conditions and during frequent wars. B. Arabian warriors used their horses as mounts during invasions into Europe. These wars were fought because Muslims, followers of the Prophet Mohammed, believed in spreading their religion. They used the Arabian horse to travel and fight as far west as Spain and as far east as China! Evolution of Popular Breeds Popular 10805 East Bethany Dr 2. Expansion Into Europe Aurora, CO 80014 A. Before Arabian horses were introduced into European breeding programs, European horses were typically very large, heavily-built [email protected] horses. This had been important because those horses had to www.arabianhorses.org carry not only men, but also the heavy suits of armor and large ©2017 Arabian Horse Association, weapons commonly used. all rights reserved EVOLUTION KEY POINTS B. Why did this change? With the invention and spread of firearms, heavy armor and swords were less effective and so were used less. Thus, it was not as important to ride horses capable of carrying heavy equipment. C. Qualities like speed and agility became more important, and the Arabian horse had them! Arabian horses were sought to improve the bloodlines which then dominated Europe. The addition of Arabian blood added quickness and sureness of foot. Darley Arabian D.

How vitally has he been a part of the history, wars and romance of nations. With that intrepid courage has he stormed over the most sanguinary battlefields! What wise or stupid or noble or tyrannical rulers has he served with equal patience, endurance and steadfastness? What great lovers has he borne swiftly to their tryst? But a few years gone we were told that the day approached that marked his banishment from those realms wherein he has reigned supreme for thousands of years, and lo! he is now even more securely enthroned. Nature smiled and opened a generous hand when she gave to man THE HORSE. Should we not cherish him, nourish his fiery strength, lead him to sweet water, and when his eyes have dimmed and only his great heart leaps with undying ardor, humbly care for him until he reaches that pasture of eternal green that God reserved for man’s noblest friend.

  • Domestic Arabians
    DOMESTIC ARABIANS One has to wonder why horses bred in the United States were never called "American Arabians," but they have always been referred to as "Domestic." Heavily based on Crabbet, the Domestic Arabian is not too different from that of most Americans -- lots of English, with strains from other nations thrown in. Even though the colonists brought "oriental" stallions from England to upgrade their Thoroughbred stock, these owners did not breed purebred Arabians. The turning point for purebred Arabian breeding came with the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, which provided an opportunity for the first sizeable importation of Arabians to the United States. The Turkish government organized an exhibition of 45 horses, some of which were of high quality. When the exhibition fell upon financial straits the horses were auctioned in 1894 after whetting the American breeder's interest in breeding purebred Arabians in the United States. In the ensuing years, stud farms were founded which would write the early history of purebred Arabian horse breeding in this country. The first Arabian breeders were located principally in the East and Midwest, although as time passed, the center of action for the Arabian horse moved to California. Early breeders imported from Egypt, the desert and England, largely because other sources of bloodstock common today-notably Poland, Russia and Spain-were not especially open to foreign exportation (there were two importations from Poland and one from Spain in the 1930's; otherwise, the horses came from the traditional sources). The breeders showed a willingness to cross bloodlines with little of the adherence to maintaining nationalities of origin which became common and lucrative by the 1980's.
