Moved to mainspace Feb. 11, nom. Feb 12/New enough. 7061 char/long enough. Neutral. Cited. No apparent copyvios. QPQ done. No image with nomination. Hook at 111 char/below maximum. Interesting. Naborr is Arabian stallion is confirmed by the Arabian Horse Times (p. 94) and immediately follows the date claim in the article. Transported via ship in 1963 is confirmed by same source (p. 97) and cited immediately. Length of voyage is claimed, but not immediately cited in the article. If you'll add the citation here it's GTG. Enjoyed the piece. Thanks! SusunW (talk) 19:08, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- I added the cite to back up the length immediately after the claim in the article. White Arabian Filly (Neigh) 19:32, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

- Hi, I came by to promote this, but find the hook a little flat. Why don't you add more details of the voyage, like:
- ALT1: ... that when Naborr, an Arabian stallion, was imported to America via ship in 1963, the ship ran low on hay and the horse lost 50 pounds (23 kg)? Yoninah (talk) 00:00, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
. The change is fine with me, pinging Montanabw and Horsegeek for their opinions. White Arabian Filly Neigh 01:35, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
- I'll take whatever gets this article in a prep set (finally), but keep in mind he was the lucky one to only lose 50 pounds. One horse died and the rest (including Bask, who was on the same boat) were described as "walking skeletons." Montanabw(talk) 03:39, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
