The Arabian horse in America - an excellent resource,
By
This review is from: The Arabian Horse in America (Hardcover)
As a book for reference and authentic historical facts, THE ARABIAN HORSE IN AMERICA should find prompt acceptance by horse fanciers, riders, owners, breeders and dealers. The author, Dr. George H. Conn, aimed at and succeeded in putting into permanent form all existing material dealing with the introduction of the Arabian horse into America, and its influence upon such popular light breeds as the famous thoroughbred race horse, harness racers, and the American show horse, as well as being major component of the founding sire of the Morgan (which is the reason he was so prepotent as a sire).
Readily available material is, at present, scant and widely scattered. Dr. Conn, an internationally-known breeder, veterinarian and author, has spent more than a dozen years researching sporting papers, privately printed sales catalogs, stud books and breeding records dating back to 1730.

A classic book on the Arabian horse breed,
By AKS "AKS" (Seville) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Arabian Horse in America (Hardcover)
The Arabian Horse in America, by Dr. George Harold Conn DVM.
According to its preface, "The principal aim and purpose of this book is to put into permanent and historical form, material dealing with the introduction of the Arabian horse into America and his influence upon light horse breeds." The author spent over a dozen years extracting much of his material from moldy old sporting papers, privately-printed sales catalogues, stud books and archaic breeding records which dated back as far as 1730. The net result of his investigation was a fine book of 308 pages, which contains an abundance of details and fragments of information about the early Arabian bloodstock in America. Although its sparse illustrations are not exceptional, Conn's book served as a point of embarkation for many later authors and is a worthwhile addition for anyone interested in the history of the breed. First published in 1957. Reviewed by Andrew K. Steen, Author and Historian of the Arabian Horse
