Yes, the mtDNA testing has been VERY interesting, to say the least...  And it 
has really underscored the degree to which Arabians have influenced other 
gene pools--and obviously not just through the use of Arabian sires on 
"native" mares!  (Or more correctly, those native mares already had at least 
some level of Arabian breeding!)
