I completely disagree.... There are those who are breeding for the future and 
there are those breeding for money. I do not look at my horses as investments 
to make money from but as companions for myself and those who appriecate the 
same qualities that I do. And the Arabian horse has been around for over 4000 
years being 14 to 15 hands on average and I have no desire to change that. So 
I would breed the short grey ones for $1000  without hesitation.
