| Fabah Serr (Ibn
Sabbah Bedu+/ x Fabah
Mahrena) 2001 Straight Babson gelding, earned the title of Region 7 Champion in Trail on April
25th, 2008. The course had obstacles he had never done before
but he handled them all with his usual calm attitude. He was 15 points
above the Reserve Champion. He earned a Top
Ten in Trail at the prestigious Scottsdale Show in February 2008.
Fabah is proudly owned by Teri and
David Kelly. More on
Fabah Serr Look for him at 2008 Nationals. |

Just moments before going
into the ring for his Regional Championship class Fabah Serr came to the aid of his stablemate "Strawberry" by
galloping back to the barn for a few things when she lost a shoe just before
her showing. On return to the ring from his rousing gallop, he
downshifted into neutral again, snoozing until he entered the ring moments
later. That
is very much who he is!
Beautiful Bouncing Baby
Babson Boy!

In the early hours of
March 26th 2008, Dahma Saafada presented us with a wonderful colt by

Lothar" group! We are now up to 8 horses in that "keep
the diversity" group. More on this fancy
colt!

THE BABSON INFLUENCE: A
RETROSPECTIVE
The Institute for the Desert Arabian Horse is publishing a reference book on
the Babson importation and its influence on Arabian horse breeding since 1932.
This hard cover book will be printed on acid-free paper, with reprints of
seminal articles on the Babson herd and new articles on Babson horses, variant
bloodlines, and the influence of Babson blood throughout the Arabian breed.
For more information, sponsorship, and orders, go to http://www.desertarabian.org/

We
need YOU to be a part of this project! |
| We need your help in
locating information on the various Babson Influence bloodgroups as
well as individual horses. We need show and other competition
information. We need your help in gathering good high resolution
photos and scans of today's horses as well as historical photos.
We need your help so that when the book comes
out, horses important to you will not be left out because we did not
have the necessary information to include them. What each
of you know of or have photos of is relevant to the book project.
Without your help the book may be missing these important
elements. Please contact us for labeling information and
photographer release forms needed for the photos as well as format
information for articles. We need your input. |

This
is YOUR Babson Influence book. |
