It’s really well bred - very old breeding - no wonder you have sold his babies so easily - his blood lines are well known to put very sensible, good minded, and very pretty babies on the ground. Too bad you didn't keep a son to go on with. I have a 29-year-old stallion that is wonderful also - but I have his 10-year-old son, and a yearling son that I've kept. They are wonderful. The old guys have so much character and are so wise. I really love the old guys.
My "old guy Arab" is called RAII KHAN. Some
of us talked about this on the old board. I'm from
an AQHA background but sure have grown fond of
some individual Arabs. Would you say the crabbed
breeding is what gives them the super intelligence
and honesty?

Interestingly... I bought a book called War Horses
for hubby for Christmas, and Arabs bred like this
were used in the Army Remount program.
