Bint Saafada and a UFO - Could Aliens be the cause of the
connection problems?
|
|
If you are having
trouble reaching us by email it is due to a problem with our
internet connection. Keep the notes coming, we will
eventually get them and reply. I have been adding photos
and stories to the website that will appear as the connection
allows me to upload.
We switched from "dial
up" to "broadband" and have had problems ever
since. It can be weeks between connections that last
more than a few minutes. If exhaustion permits, this winter when the days get
shorter and the evenings longer I should be able to spend enough time with Tech Support
to get this problem solved.
|
Hopefully this challenge of
technology is to be solved soon.

Ibn Sabbah
Bedu+/ is
now Ibn Sabbah Bedu+//.
A year after Sabbah joined the Celestial Herd and ten years
after Sabbah was last shown, we got a letter
from the Arabian Horse Association saying he had earned enough
points while he was showing to receive his Legion
of Excellence (+//)
award! |

| Sadly we lost our
dear Almoraima
Ceniza in March
2012. She was 23 years old and had been
"family" for 19 years. Ceniza was always happy
and willing to do anything that was asked of her. She
was a very special friend. |

Sabbah was a
"once in a lifetime" horse for us. He did
everything we ever asked of him and did it beyond our dreams.
He is greatly missed. Sabbah
is being honored by an article in the February 2011 issue of The
Arabian magazine published in the United
Kingdom. |
