Julia,

Didn't have time to go through the whole site until today. It's really great! I love the coloring of your filly Bint Mareekha. I have to admit that chestnuts with flaxen manes and tails with blazes are my favorites.
It was interesting looking at the pedigrees of your horses. They are similar to that of my dad's gelding, as he is an Egyptian. He is by Ansata Abu Nazeer (Ansata Ibn Halima x Ansata Bint Zaafarana) and out of Anchor Hill Hamla (Hadbah x Gamila). In most Egyptian pedigrees you will probably find a horse with the name Ansata somewhere in the pedigree. I tend to have horses that are mostly Crabbet but if I like the horse then it doesn't really matter what the pedigree of the horse is, especially if it has a good temperament.
Do you ever breed for color? If so what color?
I have met some people that hate certain color horses so that they make a point of trying not to bred their mares to stallion with certain coloring or that produce certain coloring. One guy I know hates chestnuts especially if they have white on them. He has made a point of selling off the chestnuts and only keeping the bays and greys. He ended up with a chestnut mare that was his best producer and after getting 2 foals out of her, sold her. His main riding horse is now one of those foals and he is a chesnut with a blaze and 3 stockings, his main broodmare is the other foal and she has a tendency to throw chestnut foals despite being a grey. Her foals (in my opinion) are far superior to the others foals being produced, even if they are usually chesnuts with white.
The color I like the least is grey. It's not even that I don't like the greys, it's just that they almost always appear to be dirty even after you have washed them 15 times for a show! Then if you leave them alone for 10 minutes you no longer have a clean horse. They are like dirt magnets! They do look really good once they are cleaned up but when they are dirty they are horrible. At least with chesnuts, bays, and blacks, they hide the dirt better.
