  1. Jonathan Horowitz • Arabian Jockey Club: Race-bred Arabians

    FEB 1

    Jonathan Horowitz • Arabian Jockey Club: Race-bred Arabians

    In this episode of the We Love Arabian Horses podcast, host Paul Kostial sits down with Jonathan Horowitz, Executive Director of the Arabian Jockey Club (AJC), to discuss the growth and evolving role of Arabian racehorses within the breed. Now in his second year leading the AJC, Jonathan reflects on the successes of the past year, both on and off the track, and shares his vision for the future of Arabian racing. One of the year’s biggest highlights was the UAE President Cup, a major event that showcased the strength of American-bred Arabian racehorses. Several U.S. horses also made an impact internationally, proving the quality of American bloodlines. Beyond racing, the Race Bred Arabian Series was launched to highlight the many ways retired racehorses excel in other disciplines, including eventing, endurance, and ride-and-tie competitions. Jonathan shares his own experience competing in eventing with his Arabian, reinforcing the breed’s natural versatility and adaptability. Jonathan also discusses the significance of race-bred Arabians in the broader breed community, explaining how racing has shaped the development of many top sport and performance horses. He highlights influential stallions like Orzel and Sambor, whose bloodlines continue to impact the breed decades later. While Arabian racing in the U.S. has only been formally organized since 1959, its influence extends far beyond the track, helping to produce horses with the athleticism, endurance, and heart that make Arabians so special. A key focus of the AJC is connecting the racing world with the broader Arabian horse community, ensuring that race-bred Arabians are recognized for their talent and contributions. By sharing success stories and increasing engagement, the AJC hopes to encourage more horse owners to consider race-bred Arabians for disciplines beyond racing. Looking ahead, Jonathan is excited about the future of Arabian racing, noting that each year brings new stars and fresh opportunities for the sport to grow. He also sees potential for collaboration between racing and other disciplines, such as starting young Arabians on the track before transitioning them to sport careers. Throughout the conversation, Jonathan and Paul emphasize the passion and sense of community that fuels Arabian horse enthusiasts. They discuss the importance of sharing stories, engaging with others, and celebrating the breed’s unique heritage. Jonathan encourages listeners to tag We Love Arabian Horses when sharing their own Arabian experiences, helping to spread awareness and appreciation for these incredible horses. With momentum building in both racing and the broader Arabian world, the future looks bright for the breed and its many devoted fans. 🐎
