Merge

I think all the subtypes should be merged here, would make the most sense. Ealdgyth - Talk 22:14, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

I would tend to agree with you. The Daliboz and Karabakh are the only two subtypes that currently have their own articles. I wasn't sure on the Karabakh because of the current dispute over ownership of that piece of territory. The Daliboz can be merged for sure - I was just leaving the tags up for a while to see if anyone had any problems with the merge. Dana boomer (talk) 00:25, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Let's merge Daliboz for sure. I'm VERY nervous about touching the Karabakh issue, though. It would make the troubles we periodically have with the Slovenian nationalists at Lipizzan article look like a cakewalk. Whenever people are actually shooting at each other in the real world, we run a risk of inadvertently getting ourselves sucked into a maelstrom. It's kind of why we have 8 articles on Indonesian pony breeds, even though I really can't see that there's a lick of difference between them, other than living on different islands. JMO. That said, if there IS a merge -- and if someone other than me wants to take point -- this would be the most suitable "home" article. I checked the watcher and fewer than 30 people have either article watchlisted, so that's a point.  :-P Montanabw^(talk) 18:04, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Daliboz are Arabian-bred

The term "Araber", literally "Arabian" (minus the addition "purebred") is a specifically German term used to describe Arabian horses that are nearly, but not quite, purebred - that is to say, horses that are proven to have small percentages of non-Arabian blood far back in their pedigrees.

They are also known as "Araberrasse", which translates as "Arabian-bred".

This classification used to include the Shagya-Arabians, until they achieved recognition s a breed in themselves.
