TAR away on the Malay Peninsula, the crown
prince of the exotic Sultanate of Johore pos
sesses one of the most remarkable stables OF
horses to be found anywhere in the world ana
among all these splendid animals the prince
prizes most nightly, not his English thorough
breds or his fine Irish hunters but eight golden
Palominos from our own West! Some time ago
the prince visited Hollywood and saw seVefa
Palominos working in a picture at one of the
larger studios Struck by the beauty and fine
conformation of these animals with their satiny
goden-dun coats contrasting with creamy-white
names and tails, the prince exclaimed. lhose
are the proper mounts for a gentleman! And
straightway he purchased eight of the best Pa
lominos he could find in wide search of the
Western ranches and shipped them home via
Singapore.
The few travellers who have been privileged
to visit the royal stables have brought back
stories of the almost incredible luxury in which
these horses kept Each one has special
box stall that is more like spacious apartment.
all done in tile and mosaic! Each has his own
native servant, and that servant has one or
more assistants The stalls are kept as immacu-
lately clean as the kitchen of fastidious house
wife, and at night the horses are hedded down
pelly-deep in soft. curly shavings of special
kind of rattan Carefully exercised and scien-
tifically fed they reported to be in excellent
condition. despite the unaccustomed heat and
humidity of equatorial Johore.
The prince is entirely right when he said the
Palomino is a gentleman's horse. In the days
when the Spanish dons ruled in our Southwest
Palominos were bred by the wealthy rdnchefoS
particularly for their own private use. and on
festive occasions. Just when or where the breed
originated is not known One story has it that the
first Palomino was born on the lands of the Mis-
sion Santa Barbara in California about the year
1900 Another tells that the first colt came from
a buckskin mare and white stallion stolen by
Arizona Indians from great hacienda near
Altar Sonora, some time around l74O
We do know that the breed was well es ao-
nshed in the Southwest early in the last cen
tury They were developed either by chance or
design from a famous of equine aristocrats
known as the Spanish Barbs, which is closely
akin to the even more famous Arabian steed. In
fact, the Barbs are descended from horses
brought to Spain by the Arabs and Moors who
conquered that country more than thousand
years ago.
"A lHEN the Spaniards became conquerors IN
Wv their turn. they carried the light. last,

More were imported from time to time by the
great mobiles who received huge grants of land
in Mexico and we know that the Spanish cavalry

New Mexico and Texas rode Mexican bred

The Palomino proves his inheritance from
these E,rbs in every line of his graceful body
He has the short back the deep chest, slender
legs and arched neck that distinguishes all
horses of Arabian descent Both in gait and in
behavior and disposition this unique Western
horse is remarkably like the Arab The pets of
Spanish American cdbdHeroS for generations

the West are today most usually led by pretty
