Thanks, Maggie, for the clarification--- didn't know that. Sounds like 
similar requirements for the National Show Horse Registry so far as 
percentages are concerned. I would sure research though whether there is 
a big market for Morab stallions as opposed to people preferring to 
simply cross purebred Arabians with registered Morgans. I would imagine 
the Morab Registry would have such statistics. That would sure be a 
factor I would consider before deciding whether or not to keep/market my 
horse as a stallion.
I do know that Morabs are terrific horses. My friend had one who was 
taken to National Championship half-Arab by Sheila Varian--- very 
talented English Pleasure horse (a Mikado son). My first horse as a 
child was a Morgan-Quarter Horse cross--- I could do anything on her. 
And of course, who hasn't read Justin Morgan Had a Horse as a child :-)
