Hi, I'm thinking of purchasing a chestnut gelding with a sabino marking on its belly, has white socks and a wide white blaze, doesn't stretch as far as the eyes. would you say this is a impurification to the breed?. Thanks, Beverlee |

Thankyou all for your comments.... went to see him, drove an 8hr round trip, costing me £150. in fuel and ferry trip!!... he was beautiful, and partly as descibed, tho, had a severe amount of sacroids, some very large, which were not mentioned by the lady seller in the ad, or having spoken to her on numerous occasions about anything she could tell me about him, knowing it was going to be a long and expensive trip to view him !!.... I was very disappointed, the lady, that advertised on here, was not open and honest with me !!!!!.. the gelding is still for sale.. its no fault of his own !!... |

Absolutely, Kubinec is well known for his Sabino gene. Our Emira has it, so common, and like Picasso Kossack, can be incredibly attractive. ANd it doesn't stop them winning anything. There was a story that Kubinec was sold because of his markings, with too white a face and four white socks, which were not fashionable at the time. (Don't know if this absolutely true, but it was on a web site and makes a good story anyway).
But like anti-racsim, if you look beyond the colour or the nationality (or the breed), you usually find so many things to admire. Certainly worked for Kubi.

Definitely not an impurity! As Picasso Kossack demonstrates they can be stunning  |

Far from being an impurity, sabino is very ancient in the Arabian breed and appears in many of the best individuals. Anyone who tells you otherwise is misinformed.

I have the stallion, Picasso Kossack, by Kubinec, who is, as you can see, sabino, as are several of Kubinec's offspring. Many people find the sabino gene very desirable and it is very common within the breed, especially amongst chestnut Crabbets. It certainly provides a bit of flash. Go for it, and we look forward to seeing pics when you get him.

One of our stallions is sabino. They can be very striking. |

Far from it. Sabino is very common in the breed. |

Good luck with the search.
