Brindle or Gray

Errr...since when do 5% of Arabians come in that color?

Yeah really.

He's both btw.

OMG. $5000.00

Agree. Both.

Yeah and he's not registered (apparently famous breeding and breeders' were too embarrassed to register him). :sad

Please tell me he is a gelding...nice colour that will soon disappear is all he has going for him otherwise.

Age? stage of training? height? is it gelded?

Thats really not a good ad, ne info at all apart from the colour. He looks youngish to me, that or he is just not the best example of th breed. Poor critter, hope he goes somewhere nice.

Needs a good feed.
I cannot honestly see any breeder [i]not[/i]registering something that someone would pay good money for just to say that they had it, so I am guessing all the registration gumph is just straightforward lies.

I know we had a discussion about saving pictures etc, but BOO! I didn't get to see it :*(

Oh that's easy:

OOOOOOOOOOOO

Thanks!

Definitely interesting, wish he had some food :(

Now, honestly, if he were to be pure bred, do you think any Arab stud would geld him and sell him without papers [i]because [/i]he was such an interesting pattern??
When crappy Sabino Arabs are being touted as "Rare Overo's" ....just look under Krazy Kolor breeders in FHOTD archives for that one, it's only a week or so ago...

If the breeding was really nice as they say it is? Most definitely. Halter bred arabs do NOT want ANYTHING like this, and if it was known that a stallion produced this people wanting to breed to him, would drop off significantly.

AQHA breeders did the same thing when their QHs had cropouts.

^ Exactly. There are people out there who TRY to breed for red friesians but as a business, most true friesian breeders will avoid stallions that are Ee. Makes them look bad.

Well, I am sorry but I don't buy it!!
There are just too many people that would want to buy the animal, now, if they had gelded him and sold him without papers because he was, as he would look to be, substandard, that I could believe, I have done it myslef...well, actually with a colt I have always left the papers on but taken the testicles off, it's too easy!! :rofl

But that leaves a record that your stallion has produced something EXTREMELY undesirable. Something that will significantly hurt you in the long run because people don't want to breed to stallions that produce that.

Whether you believe it, or choose to think it doesn't exist. It DOES and it HAS.

I know that Florestan foals who were sub standard (and not only Florestan, believe me!), but would have made nice riding horses went to the knackers --- they weren´t even sold without papers for fear they could be backtracked to the original stud.
It´s a not uncommon procedure if you have a promising young stallion and want to push his progeny points.
