Arabian Stallian with blue eyes

[Ninny]

Your friends Arabian is definitely not the only Arabian with two blue eyes. The gene that causes the wild/extra white markings ( and rarely blue eyes ) in purebred Arabians is the Sabino/Splash gene. There is a black blue eyed Arabian stallion named Moonlight Money Maker who, according to his owners, is one of only four blue eyed Black purebred Arabians ( his grandsire, his sire, himself, and his daughter ). Also, according to the website, he has sired 83% blue eyed Splash foals.

Despite the fact that he really lacks a lot of Arabian type, some of his foals have actually turned out pretty nice but thats a whole different conversation.

Here are two of my favorite Moonlight Money Maker foals ( both have two blue eyes )

There are a few really nice Sabino stallions out there though. One of my personal favorites is Khartoon Khlassic.

I have a minimal Sabino mare ( she has a wide blaze, chin white, two spots on her back, belly roaning, three white legs and a large patch over her right front knee ) that I would really like to breed but I haven't found the right stallion yet. I want quality and color.

I am a huge fan of Sabino Arabians so this topic was right up my alley. I have plenty more pictures if you would like to see more.

If i had a horse like the one with the lady riding id might like riding more.

I think I found him. Is this the horse that you saw??

Interesting. I wish they had used a picture that showed all of him. I would really love to see more of him.

I only heard about it on the radio but, the horses name and the name of the contact/owner match so, I would guess it's him.

He is a very pretty colored. I do wish they had shown a full body shot of him. Thank you for digging that up as I was curious as to what he looked like.

I think he's really pretty! I wouldn't call his color rare, but he is pretty! I'm partial to the blue eyes anyway. To bad he'll end up white, but I kind of think he'll still be pretty! He'll probably keep the black eye liner, and around the blue eyes is always stiking, my blue eyed white dog has black eye liner!

 

[Farmer Kitty]

Why will he end up white?

 

[haviris]

Because he's gray, they always eventually end up white, and since he's only two and already so light, I'm going to guess he'll get there fairly quick.

 

[Farmer Kitty]

That's to bad. He's so pretty now. I'm sure he will be all white but, I like color. Of course, comformation is more important but, color doesn't hurt.

 

[haviris]

Yes conformation (and temperment) are more important, but I figure there are enough good horses out there that someone should be able to have the one they want in the color they want!

Arabs do carry a splash overo gene, plus sabino and rabicano(sp?) genes. I know the most about the overo gene. Overo is a recessive gene, so both parents must carry it and pass it on in order to have overo offspring. The father of my foal carries the splash overo gene, as he has two babies with white besides facial/leg markings, one out of a draft cross (non-colored, foal has a leg spot about 4" long, 3" wide), the other out of my childhood pony (an overo). My pony's foal is a VERY loud splash overo, much louder than her mom, and she has one blue eye. I saw Ice Man, too, and I saw this here: The Iceman. His pedigree is at the bottom of the page, and he's probably on allbreedpedigree.com.

This amazing young colt is the RAREST COLORED Arabian Stallion in the United States. He is a true Blue-eyed, Overo marked purebred Arabian. The Iceman is tripled registered a purebred Arabian (AHA), a Pinto horse (PtHA) and as a Sabino (SAHR). Iceman is negative for lethal white, Sb1 and is SCID clear. The Iceman's breeding is the very best of Russian and Polish lines. His sire is the Regional Sport Horse Champion, RFR Polar Star. His Dam, the race winning mare, I Ofthe Flame was sired by the multiple NTR setter, Flaming Streak and is out of a mare by Cre-Run Stud, internationally famous for their Endurance and Performance Champions.

My best friend's parents raise Arabians, some of the best in the world. No 100% true purebred Arabian is a paint one, all that are admitted to the Arabian Stud Book have to be solid colored with no white markings above the knee. Paint Arabians are not purebred. They have to have at one point in time be bred to a paint horse or another multi-colored breed to have obtained the "paint" gene.
