Paulette . Being a bit dippy in the back is not the same as being weak backed, as long as the loins are strong. Personally I prefer a slight dip than a "laser leveled" back from the base of the withers to the root of the tail. My 1st arabian Taaj looked lovely under saddle, and he had a lot sticking out the back end

Couldn't agree more Toothless, they certainly can be too short in the back as well,not a nice ride. Found more piccies of Silmalia Blue. First as a foal.

Here is a picture of Rusleem taken at Malvern. Can't remember which year.
Have checked the catalogues and it was 1995 and Rusleem was 2nd in the Intermediate Stallion 'A' class. There were a total of 76 stallions entered! |

| Really lovely photos of some lovely horses. I must say I don't like a straight back and when a lady visited me and saw my Hispano Arabe mare her comments were "how lovely to see a horse with somewhere to put the saddle!" In fact all my Arab horses have somewhere for the saddle. |

Paulette, Good to see you show him yourself. I was lucky to have the young lady up the road to do it for me ;and to back him. I don't ride, but I do have a pict of myself enjoing the Aussie sun at age 13 on board a horse my cousins had on the farm. If you tempt me I will show you.
I like to see a bit of white also as I relate this with authenticity ( there was a lot around when I started) . Thanks for the pic of Rusleem; first time i've seen it.
A horse can be short backed and still have a lot sticking out the back . I don't like a short croup and IMO in an effort to get a high set tail the croup length can shorten. The trick is to get a short back and a long croup and great length from point of hip to point of buttock. |

I agree toothless , the croup here gives the look of length in the back when in fact its the croup thats long ( I know hes not Crabbet but he has crabbet in him 
same horse ridden

Lindilou. Its a balanced horse that we like to see and he is that. And he is Arabian, and a very good specimen at that. It can drive you nuts, I imagine trying to breed pure this pure that, or straight this straight that
In my case my 1st experience with an arabian was so overpowering I became fixated on that type ;a bit like a chicken when it first hatches becomes fixed on the hen (forget the term they use). it's great to improve a horse in certain areas ,if you're a preservationist as long as you don't change the type in doing so. Possibly that's why I go on about the importance of the Standard.
In real terms ,to say my mare is 75% 0r her foal is in the 80's means sweet bugger all; as long as she's a good specimen of the arabian type though many will stumble on the figures. |

| Very true Toothless and lovely pictures Lynda. First time I've seen him ridden I think. The Rusleem photo was 1995 and there were 76 entries in the stallion classes! Rusleem was 2nd. |

Lots of lovely crabbets .
Especially loving Paulette's Simailia Blue and Atillio's Rusleema and his old boy Taaj was a very handsome boy (very much my sort). I also agree with you Atillio regarding type, we all have our own preferences but as long as they look like an arabian I couldn't care less what their breeding is as long as I like the look of them. However over the years I have noted that a lot of the ones I do like always seem to come from the same families.
Must get some upto date pics of my 75% plus boy on here this weekend.

I understand Toothless and strangly my first encounter with Arabians was with Crabbet/ old english, 50 plus years ago there was hardly anything else in the UK.
I have introduced some more bloodlines into my Carmargue family now that I think compliments this and brings with it a strong outcross whilst staying true to the type I love , thats what breeding is all about to me |

Me too 45 years ago. All the horses were of that stamp. I love your boy Attilo, he puts me in mind of a horse called Royal Storm who was my first 'chick and hen' fixation!
He was by Royal Drift (Silver Drift/Mikoletta) and out of Sparkling Fire (Fire Diamond/Myolanda) who of course go back to Dargee/Mikeno etc. Love those lines with a passion.

Lovely lovely crabbets  They have always been my favorite bloodline. When our vet came to give Sunny his jabs just after we brought him home, he stood back & took a long hard look (he's not an arab fan in the slightest ) And categorically stated "Now he's more my type of arab"

| Does'nt look too bad I suppose. This old computer has a curved screen which tends to lengthen the horses. The foal is R's 10 mth old daughter (Weaned) who has shot up in the 3 wks since I've last seen her. Can't wait to bring them both closer to the city so that I can work on them. I thought R looked great under the dirt this morning, but the filly needs to put on a few kilos. My daughter's lap top is under lock and key so I'll just have to wait for her to come home. |
