New Horse Park residents link past and present

ADOPTED ARABIANS HAVE A JOB TO DO FOR BREED

 - jpatton1@herald-leader.com

They are a Sumerian tablet come to life. Or an Assyrian frieze, circa 710 B.C. Or a Polish portrait from the 1860s.

They are pure-blooded Arabian horses, virtually unchanged in appearance from the ancestors who inspired the Kentucky Horse Park’s upcoming blockbuster museum exhibit, A Gift From the Desert: The Art, History and Culture of the Arabian Horse.

Rafiq, a black stallion, and Shazray Moonbeam, a black mare, are themselves a kind of gift.

They were adopted by the horse park after their former owner called the Kentucky Equine Humane Center for help in finding them a new home.
