NEW YORK — Ten
purebred Arabian horses
from American farms were
shipped this month to the
Cashvan Center for Animal
Health and Improvement at
Ben-Gurion University of
the Negev in Beersheva to
launch an organized breed-
ing and research program
for the development of Ara-
bian horses.
Dr. Daniel Cohen, direc-
tor of the BGU Cashvan
Center, noted that while
there are some Arabian
horses in Israel, "no super-
vised breeding program
exists. Eventually we hope
to develop in the Negev a
commercial industry for ex-
port."
Arabian horses became
almost extinct in Israel
after World War II. The
original Arabian horse
strain goes back several
thousand years.
Ten purebred horses
from American owners in
Texas, Kansas, Ken-
tucky, Maryland, Vir-
ginia and South Carolina
were shipped via El Al
from New York's Ken-
nedy Airport. 'The eight
mares, one stallion and a
colt will be housed in the
newly built stables of the
BGU Cashvan Center at
Tel Sheva near
Beersheva. The site is
purported to be the loca-
tion where King Solomon
had his stables 3,000
years ago.
an
Dr.
Cohen,
American-born veterinary
specialist who came to Is-
rael during the 1948 War of
Independence, said, "We
shall work on the general
upgrading of horse breeding
in Israel and the training of
blacksmiths, farm mana-
gers, and horse trainers in
the handling of such special
Arabian breeds."
"Animal research repre-
sents a vital component in
harnessing the resources for
desert living," remarked
Robert H. Arnow, president
of American Associates,
Ben-Gurion University of
the Negev, the university's
main support group in the
U.S.
Arnow pointed out that a
prime responsibility of BGU
is the peaceful development
of the. Negev Desert which
today constitutes 60 percent
of Israel's land.
Research in desert ag-
riculture, solar energy,

social integration and the
advancement of new in-
dustries "constitute an
essential part of the work
being carried out by the
professors, scientists and
students at BGU. We are
daily engaged in building
an Israel at peace,"
Arnow added.
Special containers were
prepared to transfer the
horses to Israel. In addition
to Dr. Cohen, they were ac-
companied on the journey
by Jay Wilks, the executor
'of the Cashvan Estate;
Jerry Modlin, stud manager
and trainer of Cashvan
Farms in Virginia; and
Linda Eatherly, the farm's
head groom, who will assist
in training the staff of the
BGU Cashvan Center in the
breeding and handling of
these horses.
The horses were assem-
bled by the Veterinary
School of the University of
Pennsylvanian where they
were examined, checked
and tested and then pre-
pared for overseas ship-
ment.
The BGU Cashvan Cen-
ter, named after the late
Herbert Cashvan plays an
important role in the de-
velopment of unique animal
industries for the desert.
The center is presently car-
rying out research on the
camel for meat production;
the breeding of desert wild
life such as partridges and
the adaptation of new spe-
cies to the desert such as
Dorper sheep from South
Africa.
