Well, I love my Phantom babies. They are the nicest heads on foals I have seen, but of course I'm biased
Their dams have really gorgeous Welsh type heads, and Phantom does not have the Welsh type head at all. His is a little strange, actually, but it crosses so well with those welsh type headed mares. They get those great big, wide set eyes, with tiny little muzzles and nice dish. I only have foal and yearling pictures because we're still only a couple years in owning him. We'll see how their heads are as they mature a little more, but so far they are keeping the refinement. They could use a more defined jaw, but tough to find a something to cross them with that'll add that without bulking up the rest of the head. More important things to work on first anyway.

Filly:
Same filly as a yearling-I only have the one with the silly face clip, but I did clip up the forehead so the dish isn't more pronounced, but you'll have to use your imagination for the real deal. She has such a teensy little face, but this doesn't really show how pretty it is. Still, not anywhere close to an arabian, but when I think about what people are asking for when they say an "arabian head", I think of this filly. I need to work on getting pictures next year!
This year's filly:
And the type of mares Phantom is crossed with (all due any day, so excuse how wide they are!)
All have really nice heads, but more Welsh type. Of course these new foals are still more welsh type than arabian, but they are getting closer.
Libertys Miss Kentucky's pro pictures show the most arab head I've seen on a mini. But, looking at her show pictures are a whole different story. Still really stunning, but not what those pro pics depict.
