We have a 26 year old Barbary+++ son that looks just like him. His name is Barnabey BH ++/. He is still very competetive and loves to show. Costume classes are his favorite. He recently won most versatile arabian for his wins at one show in country english, equitation, western, hunter, sidessaddle & costume! He is a wonderful ambasador for the Arabian breed in NC. There are no plans to retire him, we've tried and he made it clear to us, he was not ready to slow down! He is cherished by our family and we count each day he is still with us as a blessing.
