“The New Years weekend was an incredible event for the Arabian horse at McDonald Arabians. Gary and I had such an amazing turn out, we never dreamed so many people would come. I had countless people approach me telling me how excited they were to be invited to such an event. So many have wanted to learn more about the Arabian, they just did not know how or what they needed to do.

This particular weekend, sponsored by arabhorse.com, opened up the barns and personalized everything for them and made them feel welcome and gave them a step in the direction of owning and becoming part of something they would not have known how to do otherwise. It showed to us that the public is longing for that special emotional bond with an Arabian.

Many people were from the Phoenix area and I was surprised to hear of so many that came that were not from the area. They were in town visiting relatives and read about it in the newspaper and planned their whole day around making sure they did not miss the McDonald Arabians Party. I was impressed to hear one family tell me that they wanted to make it to one of the open barn parties and chose us by our website, applauding the way it was done in the representation of McDonald Arabians.

One gentleman had such a hard time finding a parking place that he decided to count the cars which at that time totaled 153.

When all was said and done and the last horse presented, there were those that had stayed around wanting private showings afterward. I reflected on our countless and bountiful blessings to be living our dreams each day. All the thank-you's were overwhelming, but for us, the little children's eyes mesmerized by the Arabian Horse and the adults wonder in their beauty was a sight I will cherish.” By Holly McDonald
