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.
Thanks and yes, that's very helpful! I was able to contact the owner a few days ago who said the colt is registered as a gray and that they call him a rose gray, but that is actually not an official color for Arabians.
That third 'unidentified color' filly had the most Enormous Eyes I've ever seen on a horse!!?
@@MoxieOne-msg9 amazing, aren't they?!
That falls color it looks golden right now I was wondering if that was its baby hair and it hasn't shedded out yet there's a full that was born on on TH-cam channel free spirit equestrian the Phillies started out Buckskin and has shed out Gray. She was a surprise bonus from an auction horse they bought let's also gray they didn't know Baby's Daddy was but she recently got their DNA done. She wass near the same color as this foal when she was born. All of them are absolutely gorgeous!❤
@@janew7008 Arabians don't come in buckskin as it requires a dilute gene which is absent in the purebred horses.
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.
That's very interesting and I did not know that before. Thanks for letting us know.
I would say the light colored colt is champagne, considering no black points. Absolutely stunning!
Thanks and I certainly agree that he is stunning! I was able to find out from the owner that he is registered as a gray and that his coat will gradually turn lighter until he looks white as an adult.
@@MagnificentHorses Thanks for the feedback! Gr8 channel!
@@user-zu5se8tf2w thank you and I am glad you are enjoying the channel!
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.
Thanks for the info! A couple of other viewers thought it was a clipped chestnut, too, but I was able to get ahold of the owner who said he is registered as a gray. She called him a rose gray, but said that's not an official Arabian color. She said he will be almost white as an adult.
Beautiful. I hope they all go on to find loving forever homes, whether showing, breeding or just being someone's best friend.
Thanks... it's a pretty safe bet that they will all be pampered and loved the rest of their lives. ❤️
Mabe strawberry roan
@@JenniferannPuga-qf2gw good guess but I found out from the owner that he is registered as a gray and will eventually be almost white.
Those babies are beautiful! It simply looks like they are happy to, “strut their stuff!
Yes, they clearly seem to know how beautiful they really are!
They were all gorgeous to me. I couldn't have picked a winner. 😆❤️
Yeah, same for me!
For the red maned foal - possibly rose grey, too. Seems to have a grey tone.
Thanks. I've never heard of rose grey but that sounds about right for that color.
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.
Thanks for the explanation and that makes sense!
the January 1st thing is only really for race horses, "all race horses are born January 1st"
@@Broke_horse_girl I knew that was true for race horses and always wondered about that for Arabians.
@@MagnificentHorses I dont think its the same but I might be wrong
@@Broke_horse_girl you've got my curiosity up now so I'm going to try to remember to ask at the next Arabian show to see what they say.
I would love to have ALL the colts as winners. The colts are all gorgeous 🥰.
I'm with you on that idea!❤️
I can't stand handlers that JERK THE LEADLINE! If that was my youngster that handler would be IMMEDIATELY fired WITHOUT PAY & REFERENCE.
I'm with you on that subject.
😂😂😂simmer down there Karen, when did you last show a weanling colt in this show? Years of experience handling colts this age? Hahaha, Without Pay or References, get ready for court over the pay issue, in every state in the nation you must pay a worker for every hour they've worked prior to when they made Karen mad even if on that day they did something wrong, handlers at that level usually have a very specific contract, they don't need a post employment reference, listen up old girl, I'm old too, 63, but it's gals like you with no actual understanding of how things work coupled with that Karen attitude that's giving us old broads a bad name, it's not too late, gtf up😂😂
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!
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Love watching this ❤. Arabian float on air
Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed it! Some of those colts truly do seem to float on air!
I had 3 Arabians. 2 were descendants of the Black Bush Arabian & the Black Beauty rides again movie.
@@kristanmackay7607 wow, that's really cool!
That Dun color is beautiful
Yes, I sure thought the same thing!
It is a good looking "dun" it's temporary, that will turn grey
I do not see a dorsal stripe duns have the stripe down the back
@@faith777t that is correct. You can check out my reply to your other comment to see the color he is registered as.
A weanling is when it's taken off of his mother usually around six months.
OK thanks! What are two other people had said they are 4 to 6 months old. So sounds like maybe these colts are six months at the oldest.
Beautiful elastic movement 🥰and love the way some of the Arabian horses 'snap' their hooves 🐎 I could never choose the winner 🌹🤩
Yeah it's like they have huge rubber bands in their legs! And I know what you mean about not being able to pick out a winner. Same here.
I would love to see what they registered the horse color as.
Well, you're in luck because I can tell you! I was able to contact the owner who said the horse is a rose gray, but that's not an official color. So she said he is registered as a gray. She also said that he will slowly turn to a lighter color until he looks white by the time he is an adult.
The third colt is a grey. I used to work with Austin (handler of the fourth colt). He’s so good with the youngsters
Yes, I was able to get a hold of the owner for the third colt who confirmed he is registered as a gray. And that's cool that you used to work with Austin.
@@MagnificentHorses and his wife as well.
@@MizMissiB nice!
Those handlers must have to be sure to stay in shape and strong runners.
Yeah, the faster those handlers can run the better! I could've done that in my younger day but now that I'm 70 I think I'll stick to riding ON the horses instead of trying to run with them!
The color the announcer was looking for on the colt Arabian is champaign!
Several people have said they would call it champagne. That may be a description of its current color, the sea owner told me he is registered as a gray. She said he will be virtually white as an adult!
4 to 6 months for weanlings💕
OK, thanks so much for the info!
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.
OK thanks for the good info!

@@SusanneMistric ❤️
I would say either that light colored colt or the bay w/ white socks.
Yeah those are two great choices!
They're all winners!
Yeah I would take any of them if someone wanted to give them to me!
291 is my winner ❤
Nice!!
Weanlings are generally four to six months old.
The one with the red mane could end up being a red roan. Their coat color changes as time goes by.
Someone else had mentioned that may be possible, so that's good to know!
Or rose grey.
@@chrisshelp1172 ok thanks!
There are no roan colored Arabians. You can have a Sabino modifying gene with splashes of roan-like mixture of white with the brown.
@@KeepUSAFree4real now that you mention it I think I do remember reading that before. Thanks for letting us know.
I think that color is to an or rose grey. Very lovely. Thanks for your video. Blessings
Roan!!
OK thanks and it's my pleasure making the videos!
All of them are beautiful
Agreed!!
Every beautiful foals they is cool will move around arena and It cearm it pretty color
Thank you! They are beautiful to look at and are beautiful to watch run.
Oh cool! At the barn i go theres a 5 months old bottle nose arabian foal! Its called ka-emir
Very cool! I wish I could see Ka-Emir.❤️
The light red I believe is a red roan.
Thanks for taking a stab at it but I'm almost sure this was a purebred Arabian class. That would eliminate any of them being red roan because purebred Arabians don't come in roan. The young Arabian Horses are tricky because their coats can change colors as they get older.
I think that light colored is a Champagne. I think he's gorgeous
He is definitely gorgeous and a few people have said they think he is champagne. But I got a hold of the owner who said they call him rose gray, which is not an official color, so he is registered as a gray. She said he will become nearly white as an adult.
The best treasures are so beautiful😊
That is for sure!
they're gorgeous ,
They certainly are!
What a beautiful thing my God. !!
Yes, I thought they all looked amazing!
Just weaned from nursing. Usually from 6 mos but not a yearling. Grey's are born darker colors. Then turn as they grow.
Thanks for the info! I did not realize that Arabian foals are the same as Lippizanner foals in that regard.
Fiery Red Head!!!
Ha ha, for sure!
Beautiful horses! Nithing better 8:13 😊
He’s a blond chestnut. His mane is red. He may roam out.
I could definitely see it being called that color. Some others have mentioned he may eventually become roan. I would love to catch him later to see how that coloration turns out.
@@MagnificentHorseshe's a grey colt
@@TheSadie58 you are correct! I found that out from the owner recently
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.
Thanks for the info! The owner told me he is registered as gray, but they call it rose gray, which is not an official color. She also said he will be nearly white when he's full grown.
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.
OK, thanks for all the info! And I got a hold of the owner who said verified what you said that he is rose gray. I did not know about the "airs above the ground" term, so that's good to know, too!
@MagnificentHorses You're welcome. I've been an Arabian horse owner most of my life so quite familiar with them. It was a great video showing beautiful babies.
@@rezotydnic very cool! And I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
These Arab babies are just hot blooded, and at this age are not discouraged from being prancey and snorty in the show ring to emphasize their presence, tail carriage, and natural way of going for in-hand halter classes.
“Airs above the ground”, on the other hand, are advanced dressage movements performed by the likes of the highly trained and most advanced Lipizzaners at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna. Generally over ten years of age before the few who are able are trained to this level. Some airs above the ground include capriole, the courbette, and the levade.
@@SusanneMistric that's great info and thanks for letting us know!
Why are they breeding the Colts faces different than the Gorgeous Arabians in the past
This is apparently the look they are going for.
2 different kinds. Ones with super dished faces are Egyptian
@@kath5201 I did not know that so thanks for the comment!
Look into “wry mouth” typically arising in Arabians. Sad when a foal has to be put down...
@kath5201 not necessarily.
White socks!!!!!😍
They look pretty cool, don't they!
Would be nice to have colour commentary from an Arabian horse expert. Similar to dog shows
That would be nice. Too bad I'm more of a video expert than an Arabian expert. But I do know a judge who is coming this year to the big Scottsdale show, and I am going to try to see if I can get him to do exactly what you're talking about. Wish me luck!
A representative from the Arabian Horse Assn or an experienced handler might be happy to help you - your video is appreciated in the meantime.
@@dianebourne6297 thank you and I'm glad you like the video. ❤️
May be a roan?
A weanling has just been weaned , usually around 6 months.
He does not exactly look like a roan. Someone in the previous comment said it's a blonde chestnut, which sounds about right. They said he may eventually become a roan, which I thought was interesting.
He is definitely close to being roan, though. And thanks for the info about what a weanling is.
Weaklings are usually around 6 months old
OK, thanks for the info!
Cremello … which is from chestnut color group I believe… or possibly derived from gray as whites & creams are considered gray 🤔 💭
I got ahold of the owner who said they are calling him a rose gray but that that's not an official color. So he is registered as a gray. The owner said he will look white when full grown. ❤️
It's a grey most likely. I've had a few born chestnut then turn same as some bays
Yeah, his owner verified that he is registered as a gray. She also said he will be almost white as an adult.
Need a quieter background sounds,too irritating. These are elegant Arabs and need music accordingly.
I'm sorry you didn't like the music I picked out. I have to buy songs to dub in to keep from getting a copyright strike from TH-cam, and it's not easy coming up with as many new songs as possible for different videos.
Red mane pale body colors reminds me of the Akhal-Teke coloring.
Yes and he is going to start looking more like an Akhal-Teke as he gets older because his coat will gradually turn to almost white. I was able to get a hold of the owner who is the one who told me that.
What is the greasy looking stuff they put around their eyes and muzzle?
It is oil they put on to make them look nicer.
Possibly going rose grey
OK thanks! I have not heard of that color before
This! Arabians don’t have roan as a colour, it’s greying out
@@ceffyr Agree. Born chestnut and going grey. Roan horses have dark heads (and legs) according to Wiki. The rose-ness of this grey colt will slowly disappear. He'll end up being (almost white) grey. People who know horses should know this.
There is a golden colour in the pure Arabia breed if you ask each one like there coulors
Okay, thank you!
They've been weaned off the mare.
OK thank you!
Second foal more classic looking.
That's true.
Milan INZ is currently a red dun. Will probably change color as it gets older.
His owner told me he is registered as a gray and will turn almost white when he is an adult.
It WILL turn grey, that's how it works with pure bred Arabians, if it stayed red dun then it's not purebred
@@bethewalt7385 yep, that's correct!
Light colored colt would be called a red dun in other breeds
That's interesting. By the time he's an adult he'll actually be nearly white!
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.
A lot of people feel the same way you do about that.
The coat color seems to be Perlino. 01:30
It looks similar but I think it's got more tan in it than Perlino. But I checked with the owner and she said it is rose gray.
I believe that light chestnut one is going to be a rose grey.
The owner said they are calling him rose gray right now. She said he'll be nearly white when he's full grown.
Grey, will be white as adult.
Yep, that's what the owner told me a few days ago!
Either a shaved Chesnut , or a rose Grey
Your second guess is the correct one according to the owner who I got a hold of.
Wish their faces weren’t coated with oil.
Yep, some people wish the same thing.
Siacario? In italian it means hitman!
😱That's very interesting! Thanks for letting us know.
How about Cremelli?
I can see why you would think that, but I think the color is a little too dark. Plus these are all purebred Arabians and I don't believe Arabians carry that gene. Does anybody else know about that?
@@MagnificentHorses No, the creamello gene is also know as the dilute gene but doubled to create the very light shade. Purebred Arabian horses do not carry the dilute gene so no palominos or buckskins.
Fun fact the creamello is a double dilute of the chestnut. If it only has one copy, it is a palomino. The perlino is a double dilute of the bay. If it only has one copy, it is a buckskin.
@@alycewich4472 that's interesting. Did you see my video about the little filly who is a perlino?
I think that baby is perhaps a Dun.
That has been the most popular answer but the owner said it's called rose gray. Even that is not an official color for Arabians, so he is registered as a gray.
Liver with flaxen mane,tail
I think that's exactly what it looks like but it's not his registered color. His owner said he's registered as a gray and will eventually be almost white as an adult.
I believe Milan INZ coat is considered to be either palomino or dune.
I do know that purebred Arabians like him do not come in Palomino. They do come in dunn, but the owner says he is registered as a gray and is called a rose gray.
The color is dun but will turn grey, palomino or dun is not allowable in the registry, World or otherwise as it denotes not purebred, the genetic mutation for either doesn't exist in pure Arabian bloodlines
@@bethewalt7385 Thanks for the correction. Sadly, I haven't been around Arabians for more than 40 years, so my knowledge is covered in dust. For me they are still the perfect horse. Beaitiful, with movements so graceful they appear to be floating on air, an absolute joy to ride, and as loving and protective as the most dedicated watchdog.
It's a rose grey
Yes, I have learned that is correct!
The darker bay
I liked that one a lot, too!
You could call it TAN.....but.......what could be better than. CHAMPAIGNE?
Yeah, tan is bland but champagne sounds great! I found out he's technically registered as a gray and will be nearly white as an adult. Crazy, huh?
Weaniling: less than a year.
Okay thanks!
Rose grey.
Yes! According to his owner, that is correct.
Rose Gray
You are correct! I talked to the colt's owner who said he is rose gray.
These guys are show handlers, not trainers. They are hired just for show purposes. Please call them by their correct titles.
Thanks and yes, you are correct. I think I called them handler's except for one time which I noticed later.😱
The bay colt will be the winner
Looks like the judges went with a different choice but that doesn't mean your opinion is wrong. It does come down to opinion when all is said and done.
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.
What should the handlers be doing differently? They need to show the horse's motion, and even the little colts and fillies are stronger than the handlers.
Not regulation but I would call it Blonde!
Yeah, I guess we can call it whatever we want to, right?😂 I found out from his owner that he is technically a gray and will be almost pure white as an adult.
Sorrell or Dunn perhaps
Good guess but I contacted the owner who said it is registered as a gray but they call it a rose gray.
Purebred Arabian Horses don't have a dilute gene, so they cannot be dun, buckskin or Palomino.
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.
Thanks for all the info! His owner said he is registered as a gray and, like yo said, will eventually be white.
Hi this lovely arabian colts colour is a pale palamino
I'm not sure that could be the case because these are purebred Arabians, and the purebreds do not come in palomino to my knowledge. I've definitely seen palominos in half Arabian classes, just not purebred classes.
No palomino gene in purebred Arabians.
I like 291
Yeah, I love the way that one moves!
Gray, the light colt is going to be grey.
Yes he is! I talked to his owner who said by the time he grows up he will be almost white. But he is registered as a gray.
CREAM, CHAMPAGNE OR SMOKY CREAM?
A couple of other people have also said champagne, but the owner says it is rose gray.
Those are all dilute colors, which the purebred Arabian horse doesn't have the dilute gene.
@@alycewich4472 I thought those colors sounded like a good guess until they learn a lot more from comments made by you and other people.
Milan INZ coat color... sorrel?
Good guess but I don't think so. I can't say for sure because I don't know, either. And judging by some other comments, there's no consensus on what color that one is.
Have they got something shiny on their faces?
Yes, they have oil around their noses and eyes.
@@MagnificentHorses Thank you.
@@AnnieH-1 you're welcome!
And I think its a really revolting look and time it was stopped in all classes along with false tails @@MagnificentHorses
@@jessie9384 I'm sorry that it's not your personal preference but I can guarantee you it's not going to stop. The tails are not false because those are not allowed in these shows.
Looked light a light red dunn
Okay thanks!
It's a buckskin dun
A few people have said that but I found out from the owner that he is registered as a gray. The owner said he will be almost white as an adult. Interesting, huh?!
It is a chestnut that has been clipped.
Thanks... I didn't know that would change how the color looks.
@@MagnificentHorses It can. Look up horses that have some sort of clip in the winter. Specifically trace clips or clips that leave only the winter coat where the saddle goes. It makes it much easier to cool a horse down after riding them in the winter, but I only used the trace clip here in the milder winters of Colorado. Otherwise, you need to blanket your horse afterward. To me that defeated the purpose of the clip.
@@alycewich4472 good info! Here in Arizona it gets surprisingly cold at night in the winter time when it can get below freezing, especially in the outlying areas. Nothing like Colorado but it's cold for us!🥶
Prefer tight tailed, long hipped horses with no flat croup, so they can stop hard.
Very interesting.
Honey blonde
Okay thanks! That sounds right.
Purebred Arabian Horses don't have a dilute gene, so they cannot be dun, buckskin or Palomino.
WHAT YOU HAVE IS A MEDIUM BROWN GOING TO DARK BROWN
Thanks. For which one did you mean?
The pale guy looks like a champagne…🫶
I haven't heard of champagne being a color for horses. Thanks, I learn so much by having this channel!
@@MagnificentHorses You are welcome…👍🏽
I agree, champagne is a beautiful description....I personally bottle feed, weaning is much sooner......I am head of herd......
@@sarafinasegale9537 champagne sounds good to me, both the color and the drink! How many times a day do you have to bottle feed?
@@sarafinasegale9537 😀👍🏽
Carmella
That is a great guess and is probably about the 15th color people have suggested.😂 You can see in a reply to one of your other comments that he is actually registered as a gray. The other comment gives a little more info about that.
That light color is a dun
OK, thanks for the info!
Purebred Arabian Horses don't have a dilute gene, so they cannot be dun, buckskin or Palomino.
4 to 6 months and not nursing on dam anymore,
Good info! That would explain why they are so much smaller than the yearlings.
Do they do something to the horses to get their tails in that unatural position?😢
No, all natural
@@cindya.esquivel6876 yes that's correct… It is how they naturally hold their tails.
This position is 100% natural tail position for an Arab. In fact, if it doesn’t flip its tail up over its back when excited, it’s probably not an Arab.
@@SusanneMistric thanks for the info! I have found that most half Arabians also hold their tail up high like that. Would you say that's correct?
Might have dun in it.
Could be but his owner told me he is registered as a gray.
