Yes a very nice shot of a very nice horse.. The photo really shows Lydians bredth across the eyes and forehead which translates to bredth across the mitbah- which in turn means he’s going to be easily capable of ,” nodding yes,” and flexing into the bridle- necessary for him to completely go into true collection. Also of course he’s got the frequently seen good to great hindend of the davenports. What year was he foaled?

1979 i think
Yes, 1979.
As you say Bruce lovely, lovely horse, this is the type of Arab that I like best, just calling out for a saddle.
I was the proud owner of Adored CF (Lydian x Adorned CF)during the last of her years. My sister had Filligree CF (Lydian X Fiddledeedee) those two mares were both born and died within months of each other. Both had georgous wide heads (though in this photo he looks to be the twin of my Dori wth longer legs) but were completely different from each other. Both mares had one thing in common though, from the moment you set a saddle on them, reguardless of how much/little training they had, they were always perfect for inexpirenced riders and children. On the otherhand, if you thought that you knew how to ride, they would test you until either they decided you knew what you were doing or if you were just an idiot.
He has always been my favorite stallion! I always loved seeing him when we would visit Charles and Jeannie!
