Greetings, horse and horseback riding fans!

My major "home" is the Arabian horse article, but I have strong interests in just about everything equestrian-related. I have probably stuck my nose into the majority of the horse-related articles on Wikipedia, and if I haven't, it's my goal.

I appreciate editing tips, pointers to GOOD public domain images of horses, article chat, and suggestions for using Wiki tools more effectively. Post on my User talk:Montanabw discussion page if you want to comment on anything.

[edit] Things I've worked on

I have done major edits and closely follow the following articles:

Arabian horse, American Quarter Horse (and other horse breed-related articles), Gray (horse), Equine coat color and other color articles, horse training, Saddle seat, Hunt seat, and other related articles; Crabbet Arabian Stud, Lady Anne Blunt, Lady Wentworth, War Horse, Mustang, horse behavior.

I created, extensively modified, or "de-stubbified" the following articles:

All or mostly all new material:

• Cerebellar abiotrophy
• Rabicano
• Black (horse)
• Horse training

I borrowed or moved much material from other articles to create these as separate articles, usually adding some new material:

• Western riding
• English riding
• Horse markings
• Sabino horse
• Perlino
• White (horse)

I'd like to thank other Wikipedians for keeping my small but (I hope) useful contributions in other assorted horse-related articles:

Now, let's see what "edit creep" does to all this.

[edit] Things I'd like to work on

I would like to do more to help improve the following articles when get around to it:

• Equestrianism
• Morgan horse
• Horse Shows
• Horse breaking
• International Equestrian Federation or FEI

I think the following articles need to be created, and I will do so eventually if someone else doesn't beat me to the punch:

• Henry Babson
• Janow Podlaski or State studs of Poland
• Babolna Stud
• Severe Combined Immunodeficiency or SCID in horses
• Lavender Foal Syndrome
• Silver dapple gene
