i personaly prefer Fresions. Arabians are nice. but i like my horses alittle more built :)

I will definatly look that up. I know what you mean, they have such fluid movements, and their faces really ARE enchanting! I never used to be into Arabians until i met Nancy, Maranello's owner, and Maranello. Now im hooked! haha :)

They are very beautiful horses. I love the Padron line faces and necks, but too long for my liking.I feel Fausto is taking the long back too far. Its personal preference though, over in UK where Im from Arabs are shorter backed so its what I'm used to. I like the traditional look ;). look at Najim El Arabs videos and the Mankind video (SDK Halentino) they are lovely too. And Al Lahab's video is gorgeous...I just love watching them move! And their faces are enchanting!

I do not blame you. I dont really have that much of a preferance, I just love Arabians :) I like Maranello because i know his owner and i think he's gorgeous! haha. He's got a great personality too. They acctually just put up a new video of him. He's at a Futurity Festival in Madison, WI...i love his spunk :)

You wanna see a great horse? Go watch Secretariet's Belmont win in '73. NO horse I have ever seen yet can touch him in performance!

Personally I love a great Arabian horse, but my favorite is a good quality Morgan horse.

Maranello is a bit too long for my liking as well. Again I think their faces are nice, but I like a bit more chunk.

Yes...its a shame they look like stretchy saddlebreds that have been clubbed in the nose. THey might conform to the Arabian show world but there's a great deal of people who think they look hideous...and a great deal of them cant do jack squat except prance round and look pretty. Some of us like our horses...you know...USEFUL.

I'll bet the Arabs are wishing like hell they never let us Americans get ahold of their greatest treasure, their horses! LMAO~! WE know how to breed some damn great horseflesh!
