black arabians???

[Eenergonzillen@aol.com]

I have yet another pointless question for all of you patient people...ready?
what is the big deal with black arabians.  How come when people say, "she has 
a black arabian" , you are supposed to be all impressed.  I just don't get 
it.  The only thing that I can see any black horse doing is getting dirty, 
and covered in dust and turning brown for half of the year because of the 
sun.  don't get me wrong, I think black horses are BEAUTIFUL, and I wouldn't 
mind having one, I just don't see the big deal...are black arabians so much 
better than a grey or chestnut arabian?  they are all pretty. Is it just 
because they are rare or something?  
-Renee (in need of enlightening, once again) thank you to all of you who take 
time to answer my questions, no matter how pointless
