W. K. Kellogg (of breakfast cereal fame) founded an Arabian breeding farm in California on property adjacent to California Polytechnic University. He eventually donated it to Cal Poly, and Kellogg resources continue to form part of an agriculture-horsemanship program at the university. Seventy-five years ago, the Kellogg Arabian farm put on free Sunday afternoon shows featuring their stallions, but the “shows” were exhibitions of training that went well beyond what we usually see circling the rail today. Here Hanad shows off his talent at jumping rope, an exercise requiring great strength that at the Spanish Riding School (and without the rope) is called “courbette.” Likewise, a purebred Arabian stallion trained in the 1960s by the great Fredy Knie of the eponymous Swiss National Circus Knie is documented making 17 successive courbette jumps, far and away the world’s record!
