.....Polish vs Egyptian

["Kathy Mayeda" <kathy_mayeda@atce.com>]

I just copied this from the Registry website.  The letters
after the country name is the letter designation for that
registry.  If you read further into the history of the
spread of the Arabian breed......  from desert to Crabbet,
then on Poland, Russian, USA, Argentina.....  mind boggling.
I guess the distinction of Egyptian is derived from very
specific Bedouin tribes vs. from the desert in general.

Looking at my horses pedigree  - RASB, PASB pop up,
and the rest was all domestic.  And a lot of the domestic
stuff was Crabbet derived, and a lot of the RASB, PASB stuff
was Crabbet derived....

Okay, GROSS generality STEREOTYPES and you can disagree
with me but no flaming please!

Crabbet - muscular, apple rumped, cute, coppery chestnuts and greys.
Egyptian - grey, very refined and typey tea cup muzzle - the quintessential
"Arabian" look
Polish - big, red, athletic, straight profiled head.
Russian - tall, leggy, racing machines with prettier heads than the Polish
Spanish - little bit cresty, compact, more rounded, athletic in a dressagy
way - I picture dappled grey with black mane and tail.
Domestic - two strains here - giraffe halter/showring types and the good
ole' usin' types - the American Heins 57 of all of the above.
