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!

I added the cite to back up the length immediately after the claim in the article.

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
Arabianstallion, was imported to America via ship in 1963, the ship ran low on hay and the horse lost 50 pounds (23 kg)?

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."

ALT1 hook is confirmed with source immediately following, though I cannot access. AGF.

I think the change is fine. Maybe just make too we don't get to vague or you guys know what I mean.
