That she's parts Deliboz and Arabian is breaking my brain - or possibly my soul. ;P

I'm trying to get rid of that mix, but it's hard. I want all horses to be grades.

Good strong filly you've got here should hold up for you. Well, her natural speed is good. Might want to consider racing this one. Wow, you'd be making a mistake not to compete in endurance events with this filly! This filly is very cautious and gracious when she moves. Who needs a watch when you've got this filly, she's got great tempo. Nice filly! Really knows how to keep herself balanced. Appears to be a very agile filly, should do good for you. Bloody filly is smart! Too smart!
She is distantly Belgian-bred; the genes just carried through the outcrossing to Deliboz/Arab stock.

You're right, my foundation mare is Belgian and I used Belgians a lot in the beginning. But I've never seen BR like this before.

It's a pretty common one for anything with Belgian breeding.

I mean, I never seen it on my horses. Belgians were long ago in my herd. Now it's Arabian mixes and god knows who else was there. Last Belgian stallion is 5 generations from now, and not mine, just an ancestor of broodmare. Is it close?

It doesn't really matter how far back it is. The genes can carry through.
