Looking on allbreedpedigree I found this guy - 'Darcys Yellow Turk' an arabian born ~1670 - But it says he was palomino, and I thought purebred arabs couldn't be palomino?
I was also under the impression that modern TBs were originally from Arabian, Barb and Akhal Teke horses; none of the horses are listed as Akhal Tekes, (though plenty are Turkish but there's all 3 breeds in Turkey). Weren't the Darley and Godolphin stallions arabs, but the Byerley Turk a barb or Teke (hence 'Turk'). Or is it simply a case of we'll never actually know?
Sorry for rambling a bit, sort of thinking aloud.
