 This
outstanding stallion has been with Elmo since birth. She
was the vet hired to ensure nothing would go wrong with the
birthing of this extremely precious foal. She has
always been an avid horse enthusiast but had never considered
starting her own operation. The owner, seeing Elmo's
interest in this young foal, informed her as to whom his parents
were. Elmo was invited to stay with him unto the foals'
first year of training; She gladly accepted. Unfortunately for
his owner buying a breeding to his sire had been costly and they
were now almost in ruin. He closed the stable he ran and
asked Elmo to look after his training. Elmo regrets to say
she never heard from him again. Thus, Cat Thief was now
Elmo's. She was overjoyed. Physically there could be no
equal to her colt. His exquisitely shaped head and high
crest flowed down into a delicate, teacup shaped muzzle.
His fluid canter with high tail carriage gave him the likeness
of a phantom.
His
exuberant attitude has always made him very playful and, when in
the pasture, you can always see him frolicking through the green
grass and racing against the swift wind.
 Cat
Thief has entered his retirement years at the
age of 15. It was at this time that he
came into my possession. Elmo having had
little time decided to get out of the horse
industry and as such I was able to come into
ownership of some great arabian horses.
Cat Thief will become a prized member of the
Masterpiece Arabians family. Although he
will no longer be an active show participant or
stud stallion he may from time be bred to a
select few broodmares. We are hoping that
Cat Thief will settle down and enjoy his
retirement. Looking over what he has
accomplished in his life he deserves it.
I am
sure his name will be mentioned and remembered
by those of us in Horse Venture who had the
pleasure of meeting him as well as new members
will meet his bloodline and be in awe of it when
they compete against his foals and grandfoals in
the show ring.
