Zayn arrived today, and I ended up with my second choice, the chestnut rabicano. I haven't had anything on this mold since Julien and Sophia, whom I sold a while ago, so you can probably understand why I forgot how huge this mold is compared to other Classic molds. He... doesn't really look like an Arabian to me, but I can't really put my finger on what he does look like. Not a Quarter Horse because of the wavy mane and raised tail. Has a Saddlebred-like prance to him, but far too chunky for a Saddlebred. I'm going to go with a Morgan... Anyways my guy has quite a bit of roaning compared to some of the others I've seen. Also, because he is a vintage mold, sometimes they lack certain details from being made for so many years, and in my little man's case it is his hooves. His hooves were not even when they molded the sides together, and the result looks like he has a hoof chip. I think it adds character but I know if I ever sold him that it would actually be considered a flaw. I'm going to try to hunt down the bloody shoulder on the second hand market though.
Before I pop off of here, I wanted to let everyone know in honor of Kentucky Derby week I have added some Thoroughbred goodies to my website, including some rarer club models. Please be sure to check them out! Shipping will be FREE using the code FREESHIP for tomorrow and Saturday only. Take advantage of it if you've been eyeing something for a while and have a good weekend everyone :)

He looks like a real Arabian should look before halter breeders ruined them. He’s an excellent example of a true Arabian that has strength & endurance, unlike the pathetic creatures that are usually seen in today’s show ring with their squished seahorse faces & toothpick legs who can’t really do anything but stand there since they have breathing problems as well dental issues & can’t hold up to being ridden for more than an hour. The Love Classic Arabians portray all the excellent characteristics of the Arabian breed. Zafirah shows everything that is wrong with modern Arabians.

I was going to say what Leanne said. He looks like an athletic old-school Arabian rather than the halter horses bred for exaggerated and impractical beauty. I still have the chestnut from my childhood collection, and I was really happy to get the glossy bay this time.
