Arctic White
 The WHITE Thoroughbred Stallion

Our day with KTLA 

KTLA 019.jpg (269206 bytes)At 6:00 A.M. on November 10, 2003 the KTLA television van pulled into Shadow Mountain Stables.  It was a live broadcast featuring Arctic White in his California television debut.  

Before the lights-camera-action, we walked him behind the whirl of the KTLA generator as the TV crew set up.  He seemed to enjoy the excitement and stood patiently taking it all in.  KTLA 007.jpg (263552 bytes)

What a perfect demeanor and disposition for a stallion!  He seemed KTLA 017.jpg (293610 bytes)to love all the attention.  He even looked right into the camera on queue. 

For two hours of pictures and  interviews, Arctic worked for the camera.  He cantered and turned on his handler's prompts, stopping and coming forward when asked.  Even the news reporter, Gayle KTLA 029.jpg (266148 bytes)Anderson, reached into the show pen to get closer and to interact with this magnificent stallion.  We were very proud of Gayle.

After the live broadcast, Gayle interviews Jan for a segment on the ten o'clock news later that evening.  

It was a rewarding day for everyone.  We'd like to thank Gayle Anderson and her great camera crew and Sara Carter of the Daily Bulletin who first "broke" the story in California and KTLA 049.jpg (631770 bytes) joined us for the broadcast.  Watch for her follow-up story to the front page article published October 11.  Jan and Mark want to personally thank Channel 5 for airing this wonderful story and the Daily Bulletin for getting the news of the White Thoroughbreds of Norco out to the community.
