EDITORIAL N. 2/2021
Dear breeders and lovers of the Arabian Horse,
Dear Breeders and Lovers of the Arabian Horse,
After the protracted shutdown imposed by the pandemic that last year hindered the normal development of the breeding activities and morphology competitions, we feel particularly proud to deliver the beautiful 2021 Menton issue right in your hands, an important milestone that has evolved with harmony and success month after month, despite the many restrictions and periodic travel bans. The Arabian Horse Magazine Team has continued to work, travel, and participate in the most important events of the show season in the United Arab Emirates, first and foremost, the 2021 Dubai International Arabian Horse Championship, then the Al Dhafrah Arabian Horse National Championship, and the Cairo Egyptian show in Egypt. In Italy, the 11th edition of the Trapani Arabian Horse Cup inaugurated the Italian Show Tour 2021. We never stopped, even in the darkest moment of this pandemic year. We have never turned out the lights on the prospect and the necessity to continue promoting this noble horse breed with all the means we have at our disposal. Therefore, this 2021 Menton wants to place itself in this context of rebirth, and it fully represents our desire to communicate to the whole world that our passion continues to move us on, motivate our working days and inspire new projects and new ways for cooperation among us.
Our appreciation goes to all of you, who remained loyal to our Magazine and the Arabian horses and who, even in these precarious circumstances, has spared no pains to invest time, money, and enthusiasm to meet up in the various fair contests. We are grateful to the many personalities who enjoyed cooperating with us on this issue: Mr. Gideon Reisel from The Netherlands as Vice-President of AVS and Chairman of the E.c.a.h.o. Registration Commission, Mrs. Berengère Fayt from Belgium as a Judge, Mr. Sami Arkine from Morocco as a Breeder, Mr. Wynand Bowen from Namibia as a Handler, Ms. Ally Nelson from Arizona as a Marketing and Communication Manager, Ms. Paola Drera from Italy as a Photographer, Mr. Domenico Tocchi from Italy and Mr. William Richardot de Choisey from France with their valuable cultural essays.
We are grateful for the many show organizers' invitations, to the judges, the handlers, and the many stables people involved who have contributed to the preparation of decent and dignified shows even in this historical moment.
At this stage of the year 2021, we hope that the sense of togetherness that we have all and deeply experienced most recently in the international community of the Arabian Horse will further develop, and we would like to wish everyone the best of success in the months to come. May the beauty and the charisma, the nobility, and the magic vibe that comes from this most beautiful horse breed of the world give us the strength and means of empowerment to turn off the worries and go on with what we love the most.

The success of the second edition of Arabian Dream organized by Arabian Vibe Srls in the city of Treviso in December last year raised the spirits, giving a fresh boost to the Italian breeding circuit.
In this spring issue, a destination that we hold so dear to our heart: Egypt, the land of the Pharaohs, but, also of the straight Egyptian Arabian horse. The Farm Tour 2021 organized by Arabian Horse Magazine in cooperation with Horsmunity was an amazing on-spot learning experience about the most ancient breeding traditions of this particular region of the world that originated the straight Egyptian horse, the purest and most ancient representative of the breed.
There were three special events early this year, the 23th National Arabian Horse Show from January 22nd to January 25th 2021, in the beautiful Longines Indoor Arena, in Doha, the spectacular 1st Katara International Arabian Horse Festival (KIAHF) from 2 February 2021 - 6 February 2021, and the 23rd Abu Dhabi International Arabian Horse Championship from February 14th to 16th February, 2021 at the sophisticated facilities of Abu Dhabi Gulf and Equestrian Club.
