Cute Weanling Colt Champ - Arabian Horse National Breeder Finals Show 

I used to work for an Egyptian Arabian breeder and taught Horse Science for many years. The light colored foal you talked about is actually gray. All gray foals regardless of breed are born a solid color like black, chestnut, or bay. They lighten to gray then white as they age and become flea bitten later in life. A pure bred Arabian does not come in roan, palomino, dun, etc. A roan will be born with roaning present at birth then their points darken as their body lightens as they age. The term rose gray is used to refer to a red foal that is fading into gray, they have a pinkish appearance and no black on their legs, manes or tails. Bays, duns, buckskins will all have black manes and tails at birth and sometimes it takes a few months for the legs to turn black if they are not black at birth. If the horse is not purebred and has been crossed with another breed somewhere along the line you can then get into palominos, paints, duns, etc. Im not an expert on color genetics by any means so this is basic coloring without getting into color alleles and such. Hope this helps answer your questions.

Really nice to see ,these are one of the most beautiful breeds in the world. Very spicy colts, love them all.

The light chestnut colors can be ones that are grey, going rose-grey. On the close-up it is more obvious. Greys can be chestnut, black or bay at birth and get progressively lighter with each year.

Beautiful. I hope they all go on to find loving forever homes, whether showing, breeding or just being someone's best friend.

They were all gorgeous to me. I couldn't have picked a winner. 😆❤️

Those babies are beautiful! It simply looks like they are happy to, “strut their stuff!

For the red maned foal - possibly rose grey, too. Seems to have a grey tone.

I would say the light colored colt is champagne, considering no black points. Absolutely stunning!

I would love to have ALL the colts as winners. The colts are all gorgeous 🥰.

I think the "unknown" color baby looks like he's a chestnut that's been clipped, or shaved all over. The colors you get when you shave horses are so different than their "real" colors. A weanling is a baby that has been weaned from his mama, and then on their first birthday he becomes a yearling.

Travis Hansen for the win..Nice! He halter trained my 18 month old Arabian stud colt way back in the early 90's. Bought a 5 year old mare from him. I love my Ansata blood line!

Weanlings are foals that have been taken off of their dams-usually at around six months, although it can vary. After January 1, they are considered yearlings, even if they aren’t technically 12 months old yet.

I can't stand handlers that JERK THE LEADLINE! If that was my youngster that handler would be IMMEDIATELY fired WITHOUT PAY & REFERENCE.

That Dun color is beautiful

I would love to see what they registered the horse color as.

Beautiful elastic movement 🥰and love the way some of the Arabian horses 'snap' their hooves 🐎 I could never choose the winner 🌹🤩

A weanling is when it's taken off of his mother usually around six months.

Love watching this ❤. Arabian float on air

All of them are beautiful

4 to 6 months for weanlings💕

What a beautiful thing my God. !!

they're gorgeous ,

They're all winners!

The best treasures are so beautiful😊

291 is my winner ❤

I think that color is to an or rose grey. Very lovely. Thanks for your video. Blessings

Beautiful horses! Nithing better 8:13 😊

Those handlers must have to be sure to stay in shape and strong runners.

Oh cool! At the barn i go theres a 5 months old bottle nose arabian foal! Its called ka-emir

Every beautiful foals they is cool will move around arena and It cearm it pretty color

I would say either that light colored colt or the bay w/ white socks.

A lot of Arabians turn grey, that appears to be a chestnut that’s turning gray. Some call them “rose Grey” but the crème gene is not in the Arabian breed, so there can’t be a purebred Arab Buckskin or Palomino unfortunately. The very first foal was a nice golden chestnut though, reminds me of the Arab stallion that is/was registered with the Palomino Horse registry, PHBA. He’s not carrying a crème gene but he looks like he is. I can’t remember his name atm. Also a weanling is 6 ish months old, a foal that’s weaned from its dam. Some may say up to 12 months, since then they’re a yearling.

The color the announcer was looking for on the colt Arabian is champaign!

I think that light colored is a Champagne. I think he's gorgeous

Just weaned from nursing. Usually from 6 mos but not a yearling. Grey's are born darker colors. Then turn as they grow.

White socks!!!!!😍

The third colt is a grey. I used to work with Austin (handler of the fourth colt). He’s so good with the youngsters

Red mane pale body colors reminds me of the Akhal-Teke coloring.

The one with the red mane could end up being a red roan. Their coat color changes as time goes by.

Weanlings are generally four to six months old.

Fiery Red Head!!!

The light red I believe is a red roan.

He’s a blond chestnut. His mane is red. He may roam out.

May be a roan? A weanling has just been weaned , usually around 6 months.

Cremello … which is from chestnut color group I believe… or possibly derived from gray as whites & creams are considered gray 🤔 💭

It's a grey most likely. I've had a few born chestnut then turn same as some bays

Why are they breeding the Colts faces different than the Gorgeous Arabians in the past

Weaklings are usually around 6 months old

The coat color seems to be Perlino. 01:30

I believe that light chestnut one is going to be a rose grey.

What is the greasy looking stuff they put around their eyes and muzzle?

They've been weaned off the mare.

Either a shaved Chesnut , or a rose Grey

Would be nice to have colour commentary from an Arabian horse expert. Similar to dog shows

How about Cremelli?

Purebred Arabians have defined colors as part of the breed standard. Those that go gray or roan are born chestnut, black, bay, ect and lighten as they age. Weanlings like those in this class are under a year old. Flagging of their tails is a horse just showing excitement it isnt just an Arabian thing but Arabs certainly do flag with pizazz. Half Arabs come in the same colors as well as dun, buckskin, pinto, palomino and brindle.

Milan INZ is currently a red dun. Will probably change color as it gets older.

Rose grey is the color. And the movement you're referring to is called 'airs above the ground'. The people showing the babies are called handlers, although most are trainers. Weanlings are under 1 year. And are no longer nursing off mare. Usually 6 months to 1 year.

Possibly going rose grey

Have they got something shiny on their faces?

Milan INZ coat color... sorrel?

There is a golden colour in the pure Arabia breed if you ask each one like there coulors

I believe Milan INZ coat is considered to be either palomino or dune.

Second foal more classic looking.

Need a quieter background sounds,too irritating. These are elegant Arabs and need music accordingly.

Light colored colt would be called a red dun in other breeds

Grey, will be white as adult.

I think that baby is perhaps a Dun.

The bay colt will be the winner

Weaniling: less than a year.

Liver with flaxen mane,tail

The darker bay

Looked light a light red dunn

Rose grey.

Beautiful colts but I wish they would lighten up on the Vaseline around the eyes and muzzle.. it doesn't look attractive and quite bizarre in some.

Siacario? In italian it means hitman!

You could call it TAN.....but.......what could be better than. CHAMPAIGNE?

It's a rose grey

Sorrell or Dunn perhaps

Now I know why Arabs run around, uncontrolled, in the show ring. They drag their handlers around as full grown horses because that is what they have been taught. Funny to watch until they loose their grip. Even funnier when they run around screaming at everyone to catch their horse.

It is a chestnut that has been clipped.

Not regulation but I would call it Blonde!

Rose Gray

I like 291

Wish their faces weren’t coated with oil.

Gray, the light colt is going to be grey.

The pale guy looks like a champagne…🫶

That light color is a dun

That looks like a body clipped chestnut to me. Could be grey. A foal is a weanling when he is weaned. Four months to six months, usually. Weanlings becomes a yearling on January first. So depending on their actual date of birth some can be much larger or smaller/older or younger than others. There are no purebred Arabianvariations of the recognized black, bay, chestnut, and all grays regardless of variation will eventually be white. Foals born true white I think always have an undesirable for health reasons genetic mutation. Arabians had long been considered the only pure breed, but some now dispute that due to extensive DNA testing resources.

CREAM, CHAMPAGNE OR SMOKY CREAM?

Hi this lovely arabian colts colour is a pale palamino

It's a buckskin dun

Carmella

Might have dun in it.

WHAT YOU HAVE IS A MEDIUM BROWN GOING TO DARK BROWN

I think the 3rd one is a palomino

Prefer tight tailed, long hipped horses with no flat croup, so they can stop hard.

4 to 6 months and not nursing on dam anymore,

Do they do something to the horses to get their tails in that unatural position?😢
