Linda, I beg to differ...most of the quality breeding done in this country
is for conformationally correct horses. Color is so far down the line with
most of the foundation breeders of "purebred Arabians" that it hardly even
counts. The exception would be those "few" that are trying to breed
straight "black."
"Mother Nature" can be cruel. We have noticed, over nearly twenty years
that the ranches that have focused on "color first" have not done so for
long. We believe that one should breed good horses to good horses and take
what "Mother Nature" hands out in the color department. Just my thoughts.
Best regards, Al
