Isn't this horse Sired by Magnum Psyche?

@horsejumpa101 yes it is

Im making a video out of these horses as well. They have very nice videos on the Midwest website :-) If you haven't, you should check out the Magnum Psyche ones. Very nice...:-D

Senor Magnum is my favourite Magnum Psyche son...Magnum Psyche and the likes of Fausto are just way too long and thin...Senor Magnum retains the exotic face and neck but he's much more solid, he looks like you could actually ride the foals he sires, not just look at them.

RattySoup-

Magnum Psyche IS one of the greatest Arabians in history (in America at least) and many many people enjoy his appearence. My question is, then do you have a problem with Padron? Da Vinci? Valantino? Maranello?

Im not trying to put off as a rude person, just questioning your comment is all, as i've seen that you put alot of comments on Arabian videos ;-\

[RattySoup]

How are u judging greatest arabs in history exactly? The ability to prance around a show ring looking like he has a firecracker stuffed up his tailpipe? And by the way, my comment was a personal opinion...or am I not allowed one? Magnum Psyche would be useless for anything but show, and Fausto is just ridiculous, he looks like a sausage dog. Arabians are supposed to be short backed, tough little horses, they are being turned into saddlebreds. They look like they've been thru a steamroller.

@RattySoup -

I must agree with you on Magnum Psyche, I personally would be scared to ride him, I'd be afraid his back might just snap. And on the steam-roller issue, that is mostly prevalent in American breeding, many of the Egyptian/Polish/Spanish horses still hold true to the original values. Look, for example, at Gazal al Shaqab or Monogramm.

[RattySoup]

Isn't Da Vinci a Senor Magnum son? I'm not keen on Valentino or Maranello for reasons already stated.

[RattySoup]

Thats why I prefer Senor Magnum and Enzo, they look like they could do something and breed foals that are actually useful. The legs and back of the Magnum line just tend to be hideous, all Midwest cares about are those seahorse faces and necks.

[horsejumpa101]

I think they should be focused on their heads and necks. It's just one of the Arabian traits! But I also agree with you that they should not only focus on those two features.

[RattySoup]

A short back, excellent feet, and dense, strong bone is another trait of the Arabian, as is the natural elevation in the movement, but a lot of these are ignored in favour of the head...many of the top stallions have club feed and long bodies these are not breed standard. The head is not the most important characteristic by a long shot...as the Arab people say "You cannot ride the head". It should certainly not be number one concern.

[horsejumpa101]

Ok I do highly agree with you on that! And no the head should not be the only ,but for halter classes it might need to be.

[RattySoup]

The halter class is supposed to consist of beautiful representations of the breed...in all other classes that involves taking the conformation of the horse into the highest degree. Arabs should be no different.

[Piassondra]

@horsejumpa101 Well, I think that yes, head and neck is important, but you don't want the rest of the horse to go to waste. Focusing too much on one particular area will result in bad things in the others.

I love to look at Arabians, but they really are too high spirited for my taste! Absolutely beautiful, amazing horses.

[impyness]

Arabians are so perfect...
