[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 1015382, member: 2653"] Hey Bigfoot, Ever since I was a kid, I've always liked the way Arabians look. Something about their tail carriage, small ears, big eyes, big jaw...etc has always caught my eye. I appreciate all horses, but I've come to really like the Arabian. When I had the means, I was lucky enough to meet a mentor who taught (still does) me a ton about pedigrees, breeding and the different strains of Arabians. I think the most important thing he instilled in me is quality over quantity (1 good horse beats 50 bad horses) I started by buying (on time, lol) from him one mare. That mare's first foal was a chestnut filly that was born about 4:00 a.m. with me standing and watching. All of the horses I now have have fairly rare Arabian blood; they can all be traced back to the Egyptian desert - a stallion named Barq born in 1832. The before mentioned filly is the now 9 year old mare that I just picked up last night from stud. Here's a pic of her about 5 years ago of her running through one of my pastures.
