So, what all you people are doing is to prove there are no "Mustangs" as a breed and that the "wild horses" do not exist as they most all trace back to Arabs. One of the most domesticated breeds on earth. 

 

Now, get that across to the BALM!

That is a half Arab has half it's genes from an Arab. If he is bred to a non
Arab then the Arab contribution is 1/4. Ten generations later with breeding to
nonArabs, the Arab content is 1 in 1024 and twenty generations it would be 1 in
over a million

Course that's assuming that absolutely none of any of the other horses that were doing all this breeding had a speck of Arab blood in them either, just that very first one -  would have to be either the Adam or the Eve of all light horses.  Otherwise your example doesn't work.  Lif
