Rosemary pointed my attention to the black eyeliner mark around his eyes. It is a relatively rare feature in chestnut Arabian horses, and a mark of authenticity. I think DeWayne took the first two pictures. This Ma’anaqi Sbayli strain really produces quality, and the hybrid vigor from the concentrated Doyle blood helped.
Great expression, too! I bet he is mischievous and playful with plenty of bounce.
Nice eye, good overall head, strong shoulder, growing well.
short neck?
Regarding short neck, the photo is at a bad angle, and most foals of his age look short necked. Give him time.
Yes. You are right. Low placed, large eye, for sure. And the “kohl” around the eye.
He looks a very personable little fellow, and I think he’s a good sort, from the first full body photo. Still a bit over at the knee in that picture, but that should straighten up as he grows into himself!
