Arab, yes or no?

[Paint Me Proud]

I have differing information on Chicos sire.

He is either a WB x TB or an Anglo-Arab.

I am leaning towards Anglo-Arab due to his build and the look about his face, what do you recon, Arab in there or not?

 

[rara007]

Can you get coloured AAs? IMO he looks more TBxWB

 

[nikicb]

I would have said no to Arab - his ears look too straight to me and his head doesn't look Araby. Sorry, I'm no expert but do own an Arab x.

Also his tail doesn't look arab like. It's carried too low.

 

[coss]

i don't think he looks araby either

 

[Paint Me Proud]

it would be only a small percent arab

here is a side shot

A lot of warmbloods are also part arab though Also, as Rara says, you can't get coloured pure bred arabs.

tb x wb with perhaps a little bit of arab somewhere in the pedigree would be my guess.

 

[joeanne]

I don't give a hoot what he is.......he is stonking either way

Ginger horse - in my sig, is tb sire, wb dam, although he can look quite 'araby' from certain angles Being solid coloured he has been mistaken for an AA quite often

 

[EstherYoung]

Warmbloods have quite a bit of arab heritage, as do TBs. So even if he's warmblood x TB, he'll still have arab ancestors.

Here is my Anglo-Arab - pretty typical of the breed.

I'm not sure but I wouldn't rule out arab
Mossburn had a coloured anglo-arab once, she was beautiful

She is beautiful, but she cannot just have arab and thoroughbred in her pedigree, as neither breed has coloured 'genetics' which would result in a tobiano pattern like either of the coloureds in the thread

i am quite up on my colour genetics but d'oh that i didnt twig about no coloureds in arab breeding.

Yep, barring sabino and rabicano

No dilution genes either, so no buckskin, palomino etc.

I suppose nobody knows what else so it is easier to say lol!
Doesn't bother the horses anyway, she is happy in her new home
Can you imagine the conversations "oh darling, you can't possibly associate with us, a coloured calling herself an anglo-arab"

 

[HBM1]

could have some Trakehner in there, they often have Anglo-Arabian in their lines and he has a very pretty head which is reminiscent of Trakehners

No, not remotely important, but I'm a bit of a genetics nerd I nearly lost the plot yesterday when I saw a book called 'Palomino horses: Austria's haflingers' There's no such thing as a palomino haflinger! They are all chestnut with the pangare gene! No cream gene

Haha
I'm the same with some animal things, I've seen 3 pictures on facebook this week of male frogs/toads attached to female ones with the inevitable associated comments and have to sit on my hands to not spoil the fun pointing out they have external fertilisation and he really is just having a piggy back

Don't even get me started on buckskin vs dun!

 

[pintoarabian]

Am I missing something or couldn't the colour have come from the dam? In that case, the sire could well have been an Anglo Arab.

his dam was a tobiano with possibly sabino too

here she is
