To promote the Arabian - through education and entertainment - to new levels of appreciation and usefulness. We tackle the tough issues, keep our readers enlightened and informed, hopefully stimulate their thinking about the long-term elements of breeding and owning Arabian horses, and celebrate all the human urges this breed can satisfy - the artistic, the competitive, the creative, the reflective, the inventive, and the intuitive.
Perhaps we'll encourage you to try something new with your Arabians ... or to breed with an eye toward all that is enduring and genuine about the Arabian horse.
With Arabian Horse World Quarterly, our purpose is to promote the Arabian in a new global market. We carry the message of the Arabian's peerless beauty and versatility to a newsstand audience through a fine blend of international coverage, a bit of history and mystique of our breed, reviews of breeding programs, horse husbandry features, and special features for newcomers to the breed. We hope our enthusiasm for the breed will rub off on an increasingly newer audience.
All this, presented to you with award-winning design, beautiful photography, and attention to detail - Arabian Horse World and Arabian Horse World Quarterly - the most widely circulated Arabian horse publications in the world.

The Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 gave the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service the authority to manage, protect, and control wild horses and burros on the nation's public lands in order to ensure healthy herds and healthy rangelands. Each year, the BLM gathers the excess wild horses and burros from areas where vegetation and water could become scarce if too many animals used the area. These excess animals are offered for adoption to qualified people through the BLM's Adopt-A-Wild Horse or Burro Program. BLM has placed more than 200,000 animals into private care and these animals have gone on to successfully compete in events such as endurance riding, dressage, and trail riding. |

The IWHBA's purpose is to educate the general public on wild-born horse issues through the implementation of programs, which reinforce the need for preservation, protection, and management while promoting a more positive image of the wild-born horse.
We provide support and mentoring to those persons who have or will adopt wild-born horses from the Bureau of Land Management or any other agency or organization, which makes wild-born horses available to the general public. This support and mentoring is made available through the implementation of training and mentoring programs that educate adopters and future adopters in learning the skills and methods of gentling and handling wild-born horses using natural horsemanship techniques. These programs are offered for the development of a positive relationship between horse and human leading to the long-term success of wild-born adoption programs.
New adopters are often overwhelmed at the prospect of training and caring for a newly adopted wild horse or burro. That is where we can help. Adopters can call one of our member advisors to answer questions and ask for advice.

Trad's blood runs in all 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation Belesemo horses produced at the ranch.
