It's like you said, "Preference".  I like mares the most but thats my 
preference.
 
 <<And did anyone ever prove that hoof color was not connected to softness?
 White hooves on all four feet aren't necessarily bad for an endurance
 prospect arab, are they? 
  >>  Not that I've seen.  Really doesn't matter.  I've seen dark thin walled 
hoofs, and thick walled light colored hoofs.  So I would check wall thickness 
in any color hoof.  Arabs in the most part, so far, won't have much hoof 
problems that can't be worked out.  That is in the most part...
