KABAR is typical of the horse desired by ranchers and stockmen. He is what is known as the “strong type” Arab. The other two types are the “beautiful” and the “racing.” ZARIFE, RIFAGE and KAHAR belong in the “beautiful” classification. The only “racing” type stallion raised on The Lazy VV Ranch was BAREK, who is making his home with the Mexican Government in Mexico City.
Most of the stud colts sired by KABAR have been sold to individual ranchers, who are using them to produce better stock horses.

MAMAS AND THEIR BABIES
The life of an Arab mare on The Lazy VV Ranch differs greatly from her desert sisters’ existence. In the desert, a mare carried her master in tribal warfare, while the stallions stayed at home.
Any mare without a colt at her side is assigned the task of taking Lazy VV Ranch riders over the high, rocky mountain trails. Brood mares are left in the lush pastures to frolic and play with their colts. However, not even the brood mares are coddled; they live and graze in the rugged outdoors, year-round. Lazy VV Arabs must learn to care for themselves.
At the age of one year, these Arabs are halter broken; at two, they are trained on the longe line, and some are driven; at three, they are trained under saddle. Mares of sufficient size are bred at the age of three, and every year thereafter.
