Domestic-Bred Arabians: Some ABCs for CMK
The Assignment
I was assigned to deliver the first in a series of pieces about the history of domestic-bred Arabian horses in the United States. Arabian Horse Life magazine editor Stephanie Ruff wanted readers to learn about how and when the Arabian horse first arrived in America and who was most instrumental in its flourishing here.
The Delivery
At the deadline, I delivered the fact-checked, 3400-word copy and several hi-res images provided by interviewees, each with the needed release forms, and photo credit text. I suggested the “further reading” section for people wanting to learn more about specific history, pedigrees, or where the Arabian horse descendants in this piece are today.
