Thank you to Markel for your ongoing support of the We Love Arabian Horses Podcast.
Join us as Paul takes on a riveting interview with Santi Fornieles, internationally recognized breeder and judge as they speak across a variety of topics. From his start in horses up to his most recent assignment at the Arabian Breeders World Cup, held in Scottsdale, Santi shares fantastic anecdotes from his informal horse education, and why he dedicated himself to judging horses all over the world. They delve into breeding, conformation, and how those things translate into the show ring. They tackle the "European Style" vs the "American Style" horse, and how they have each evolved, thanks in-part to how our classes are adjudicated under various scoring systems the world over. They discuss how the world around us is changing, and how social media and the internet have been a double-edged sword for engagement with the horse. In addition to those start realities, Santi also shares his vision for a path forward, which end this interview on a wonderful note. This is a long one, but well worth a listen.
