Summer is one of the rarest of the rare, a Straight Egyptian Arabian. She descends directly from the
original desert Arabians that lived with the nomadic Bedouin tribes, highly prized as members of the
family and courageous war horses. Today in the world there is only a small number of these Straight
Egyptians, and they are still prized and loved by their families as in ancient times.
Summer is 4 years old, is good with the farrier and vet, is halter broke and has a wonderful sweet
personality. She is good with other horses and does not have any vices, and is easily trained to new
things. She is registered with the Arabian Horse Association and is eligible to be shown in all Arabian
shows. It is because of her beautiful loving demeanor that we are looking for a devoted owner for her
that will lavish attention on her and enjoy her every day.
