[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 800017, member: 2653"] Dead on Ray. I could talk for hours about Arabians, but it would bore most. It all depends on what the foal looks like. The sire, Sherif, almost always won "most classic head" in every show entered; I'm hoping that with the substance/mass of my mare it will throw something really nice. My "mentor" always says wish for a filly not a stallion, but in this case I'll respectfully disagree. It all depends on what he/she looks like. This is all assuming that she's successfully in foal to Sherif. Thanks Chippie. Sherif was gray - black skin with white hair. Gray is the most prominent color for Arabians - roughly 40% are gray, but it's not a simple dominant/recessive color deal like cattle. If you ever want an Arabian let me know Chippie. I've been known to make some "give away" deals (according to my friends) to let horses go to good homes. I've always thought that Arabians are under-appreciated; so I will go to lengths to get Arabians into the hands of "new" people to the Arabian. For several years I did a $750 program. I'd sell a foal at 6 months for $750, even with terms if needed, to a good home that was new to Arabians. The thought was to get Arabians in with famalies and others who may not otherwise have them. I've even boarded (read pasture) some of the $750's for people until they had a place of their own.
