Rah, Frank.  Thanks for getting to the heart of the matter.

Barbara, the horse is probably NOT purebred, based on the report of  
the half-Arab competition at a regional ride.  I did not check  
Arabian Datasource to see, but since AHA promotes half Arabs as well  
as purebreds, it probably doesn't matter.

Real riding but yeah, white=dirt magnet for me.
