Wording[edit]

"frugal and resistant" is a little odd-sounding. If this means it thrives on very little food and is resistant to most diseases, I recommend "is a good doer and disease-resistant," or something like that. If you don't care for "easy keeper" or "good doer," then "thrives on relatively little fodder" would work too. FYI, may want to know you can link to easy keeper, hard keeper and equine nutrition.

The way the bit on the ancient common ancestor is worded in a way that could raise hackles. Something like "sharing a possible common ancestor with breeds such as the Andalusian horse" sounds a bit weaselly, but may be more precise. Just saying... we get into fairly routine spats with drive-by Andalusian fans who abhor that their horses are anything but the perfectly pure descendant of the primitive animals on the Lascaux caves (studies proving they contain Barb DNA and written documents that they had Arab blood added in the 19th century notwithstanding) Montanabw(talk) 21:30, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
