RIFAGE, one of Trinidad’s principal stallions, has fathered many fine colts. His colts are as large or larger than those of other stallions on The Lazy VV Ranch.
Even during the heaviest of the breeding season, RIFAGE is doing his share of the necessary work with the cattle. He is really a splendid cow horse and a favorite of many of the cowboys.

Approaching the entrance gate of The Lazy VV Ranch, the two-day cattle drive will soon be over. When cows and calves have had an opportunity to “mother up” and get several days’ rest, the Arabs will escort them to the mountain range; there they will pasture for the next few months.
During each week, the stallions you have seen on the foregoing pages make regular trips to the Continental Divide to check cattle and their feed. These trips take many hours each day. Perhaps a pastern will be cut on the edge of some sharp rock; or a shoe may be lost; but these sturdy, spirited horses will not be stopped or hindered. Their masters have a job to do; and, as in the days of Arabian warfare, the master’s most effective ally is his horse.
The satisfaction any man enjoys from the use and ownership of a fine horse is doubly enhanced when the animal is an Arabian. Its dependability, gentleness and loyalty to him are unsurpassed.
Like that of his brothers, KABAR’S work is perfection.
