WH Bodacious represents Egyptian Arabian at SCHC Expo
On February 6th, the SC Horsemen's Council held their annual Expo at the newly formed SC Horse Park in Camden, SC. The Horse Council represents the interests of all horsemen in the state, and in addition to their annual meeting the expo hosted clinics, a trade fair, and a parade of breeds. WH Bodacious (El Halimaar x RA Aneesa), an 18-year-old SE stallion, represented the Egyptian Arabian in the parade of breeds demonstration. "Bo" is owned and bred by David & Martha Lucas of Whitehaven Plantation in Bishopville, SC, and was ridden by trainer Trisha Dingle. In full native costume, Bo put on an incredible performance, galloping around the arena, demonstrating lateral movements, and then standing quietly to receive his applause. During his exhibition, the announcer read a brief history of the breed and the characteristics of Egyptian Arabians. Bo was the only purebred Arabian at the expo, and he was definitely a crowd favorite. Following his demonstration, the stallion stood quietly while children came up to pet him. Whitehaven Plantation had a booth set up with promotional information on their farm, the breed, and the Pyramid Society.
