Sort of follow on from the 'what horse do you not like thread' arab lovers especially

Rhino, his sire was called Sharoun Dell and his dam was Sweet Minibelle. I don't know anything about those bloodlines at all, so if anyone does I'd be interested to hear more. He was bred in West Sussex, born 1994.

Had a quick look, I can't find any exact matches although there are 2 arab stallions called Sharoun, a Shagya

and 'M Sharoun' sire: Ibn Bint Inas dam: Layla damsire: Ibn Galal
D.O.B. 1/2/94 GASB: 12230

Can't find the dam either, this is the only Minibelle, Welsh sec A

Yay! Dennis the Superhorse makes an appearance!

Touch wood no ill effects from my horse's seahorsey head, but I know that some of the more extreme horses can have breathing problems.

Not just Arabs but too many breeds are getting tampered with and it is not to their advantage either.

Wow, Dennis is stunning, what a lovely boy.

The legs are like spindles and some Arabs are crazy.Theyre not weight carriers. I dont like them and at the end of the day thats my choice to make,not yours.I dont tell you,you have to like cobs.My cob has never had foot trouble.
EACH TO THEIR OWN. Dont have a dig at me just because I dislike Arabs.

Not an Arab person here - I have Iberians but I would point out that although you may think their legs are spindly Arabs do in fact have denser bone than other breeds and in fact are far less likely to have issues. They are also short coupled and are capable of carrying a man so can also carry weight, of course they will never carry as much weight as a hefty cob but they can carry weight.

I do not understand why you are posting on a thread in celebration of arabs in such an aggressive and ill informed way.

As stated, I am not an Arab person but then I don't dislike them, I find it hard to dislike any particular breed as I love horses in general tbh.

Some lovely horses on this thread :D

This is Dennis, also known as Ecuador. He is 3/4 Egyptian 1/4 Crabbet/Spanish.

He's 16hh and takes a 52 inch girth. He is so laid back he is positively horizonal, although he can have his moments where he flips his tail over his back and has a good ponce.

Not a sea horse head but very pretty and very typey.

Thanks Rhino. I wouldn't be surprised if the stallion has something to do with him, he's a tough little creature, very strong and with the most amazing hooves. He's quite flat footed but always sound as a pound. Arab breeders tend to hold on to names don't they? He's a lucky little horse who had severe mental problems when he came to me, but much easier to deal with these days, and very friendly.
 
Did someone mention Arab x Welsh crosses?? Oh... go on then.... posted before and apologies of they are super-sized :o
My special boy, Khan (reg PBA Saint Barnabas), his sire Presto (Jabulah x Constanza) belonged to a friend, and was high % Crabbet, breeding here:
http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/presto22
Dam was an unreg (as far as I know) Welsh C, shown as 'Puddles' on his certificate.
He got dad's looks, mum's colour, and a bit of personality from both! Loved getting out and about, a bit of success showing in WH classes, but chilled enough that I had my 8 yr old nervous niece on him the other weekend, never ridden before, and in half an hour was off the leadrein, doing halts and turns on her own, and even tried a trot which was apparently, after the giggles subsided, was 'the best thing in the world ever!'
I love my boy. :)

Interesting to note, on the weight carrying issue, that FEI regulations for endurance states that 11 stone/70kgs is the minimum weight allowance. Seeing as how the majority of horses competing are arabians, carrying that weight over 100 miles, I fail to see how they can be classed as non weight carrying!!

Aha! That pretty much answers my question I was going to ask! I have never really noticed Arabs before but after reading peoples experiences with them and browsing the Pearl Island stud site Im really starting to like them! ( But still not the really dished head types)

So my question was going to be what is their weight carrying capabilities? I realise that they vary alot in height etc so what would you say a taller arab could comfortably carry?
 
I've loved looking at all your Arab photo's, they are stunning. I've never had one and I'm more of a TB person myself, but I've enjoyed looking at all the different types and reading about what you do with them.
Lovely pictures!

I don't know what top weight she would carry, but my 16hh Arab mare is built like a brick sh it house. When fit I don't think she'd have noticed 13 or 14 stone on her back. (Sadly she didn't reach full potential and retired young).

Dennis is truly a superhorse, maybe Perissa can link to his story. She stuck with him through some very bad times.

Thank you :o

If you're armed with milk and cookies (more like vodka and a curry) ... I warn you its long!!

I think they are in the correct order!

She's competed up and down the country doing jumping and working hunter. Despite her...erm... Older age haha she is still in full time work (6 times a week riding) and is coping with it perfectly.
Arabs are hardier than they look.

I couldn't agree more.

This is Perissa, my soul mate. We had 21 years together and she died in my arms in 2002 aged 27. She was a 14.2 crabbet mare.

Well, if we're posting pics of half-breds now, here's mine!

Granby Gretal, foaled 1973, Ludo x Weston May Queen (Welsh), owned by my aunt from a three year old and ridden by all the family at different times, including my sister and myself. She died of kidney failure at the age of 27. She was still out winning rosettes for SJ not long before her death.
My sister up:-

Gorgeous! I do have a soft spot for the livers!
 
I don't think any French arabs have appeared on this thread yet. They are a different stamp again. Here's a lovely lad belonging to a friend of ours:

I always had Arabs as a girl and they gave me so much fun. Now I have a warmblood and of course I love him to bits but I do miss my Arabs. If I ever bought another it would have to have arab in it!
 
I love Arabs, rode some lovely Arabs and part bred Arabs as a teenager and always dreamed of owning a chestnut Arab mare. I love my bay warmblood but still hope to have an Arab one day. Just waiting until oh and I can afford a horse each as we'd struggle to find an Arab he could ride without rollerskates!
 
Oh yes, he's lush. Kate very kindly supported EMW by twice donating a HTobago covering for auction.
Tobago's granddad is my horse's dad. :-)
 
Rather self-indulgent post here. Very proud of my pure, part bred and Anglo Arabs who can turn a hoof to anything. Currently have a few out competing successfully in British Showjumping. More pics to follow.
