The Arabian horse, which has influenced equine genetics for centuries, will be featured during the Equine Educational Program at Penn State’s Ag Prog ress Days, August 16-18. The program highlights Penn State’s teach ing, extension and youth programs, and calls attention to the $4 billion horse industry’s con tributions to Pennsylvania agriculture. “The theme of this year’s equine events is the horse through history,” says Ben Nolt, 4-H ther apeutic riding coordinator in Penn State’s Col lege of Agricultural Sciences. “We thought it was appropriate to feature the Arabian, which has contributed to the development of many other breeds over the years.” According to a recent Penn State study, there are an estimated 9,000 Arabians in Pennsylvani a. Their total value of nearly $56 million is sec ond only to Quarter Horses among light horse breeds in the state. Patricia Comerford, extension horse program coordinator, says Arabians have been used extensively as foundation stock in the develop ment of several breeds. “When Arabians are cross-bred,” she says, “the offspring tend to inherit many of the Arabians’ desirable characteristics. “Arabians are noted for their endurance and versatility,” she explains. “They primarily are used for long-distance riding, racing, showing, pleasure riding or working.” A special exhibition on Wednesday evening in the Horse Arena will honor the Arabian’s unique place in horse history. That will be pre ceded at 6 p.m. by the flag presentation and a Cumberland County 4-H drill team exhibition. Driving demonstrations, featuring draft horse hitches, will conclude the evening’s events. At least 12 breeds will be featured in a series of clinics during the three-day event We'- K and Tennessee Walking horses will be shown Tues day at 10 a.m. Appaloosas and Hafflingers, including an eight-pony Hafflinger hitch, will appear Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. .

Ward Studebak er, manager of Penn State’s horse farm, will conduct the clinics, which will emphasize round-pen training. A theiapeutic riding demonstration and mounted exhibitions by the state’s 4-H champ ions will be held Wednesday at 3 p.m. A display in the Equine Exhibits Tent, adja cent to the Horse Arena, will feature the horse’s role in medieval times.
