What's Your Deal?
 
What are you most likely to be found doing?
  1. Running around the pasture after your horse, dragging a portable easel and protesting "I can't paint you if you won't stand STILL!"
  2. Sitting in front of your computer for the eighth straight hour muttering binary code and designing horse-y graphics for fun.
  3. Yelling "That's a wrap, folks!" every time you finish cleaning a stall. After all, you're just practicing for your future Hollywood career as a director.
  4. Rummaging in the barn fridge for your last twelve rolls of film- just enough to get you through the day's shoot.
  5. Frantically scribbling your short story ideas on the wall of the tack room while seated on the world's biggest Thesaurus.
Whatever your deal is, we've got just the thing for you! Combine your love of Arabians with your talents in the Creative Contest! The 2005 theme is Mystery of the Arabian Horse.

@ Issue
 
Now THIS is a really hot debate: the national plan to identify horses and other livestock. Do you think your horse should be identified and tracked by the government? Read up on this important issue by visiting the American Horse Council's website. Email youth@ArabianHorses.org with your opinion and you could be quoted in a future youth E-News.
