Equine ambassador CP Khavalier (Khaberet PGA x CP Luminaire) greets esteemed author Mary Jane Parkinson! We were honored to have her visit the Center last week. No one knows more about the history of the Kellogg program than Mary Jane. Her book, "The Romance of the Kellogg Ranch" is a masterpiece!
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
THE EQUINE HISTORY COLLECTIVE IS A GROUP OF OVER 100 SCHOLARS FROM MORE THAN 16 COUNTRIES WHO RECENTLY HAD THEIR ANNUAL CONFERENCE AT CAL POLY POMONA.
Some of the papers presented included "Pioneering American Breeders of Pure Polish Arabians, 1961-1985" (John Schiewe), "The Two Are Pardners": Rodeo Cowboys, Their Horses, and a Distinctly Western Relationship" (Frank Whitehead), "Revisiting the Iberian Origins of the North American Horses" (Jaime Lira-Garrido) and many other very interesting presentations. The WK Kellogg Arabian Horse Center was delighted to provide a group of participants with a tour of the barns and horses.

Over 500 people attended the "Meet an Arabian Horse Day" and the first Sunday Show of the autumn semester at the WK Kellog Center on October 6th. Region 1 and the Arabian Horse Association of Southern California helped to provide displays and activities for children and adults.
Children enjoyed painting an Arabian horse, learning how to groom and how to muck a stall while adults and children alike watched the blacksmith put a new pair of shoes on one of the Cal Poly Arabians. Dr. Aubrey Fine, a professor at Cal Poly Pomona had a standing room only crowd for his lecture on the human/animal bond and the stands were packed to the rafters for the Sunday Show.
It was a wonder first experience and introduction for hundreds of people to the world of the Arabian horse!!!!
