This has been an interesting discussion. I have to agree with a lot about our miniatures. Those arabians show me how far I still have to go in my breeding program....
The curve between the eyes with a lump on the forhead as an adults tells me that the horse is carrying some extra chances at producing a dwarf when its partner has the same gene ( outwardly visable or not)
Here is my stallion. He has what I would call a quarter type head. He has a slight dish, and it is down where it should be,,,, not between the eyes, it is where the halter hits him. He was having caps dropping, so you see his teeth bumps underneath. He does have nice cheeks or jowls, too long in the length, it is an okay head. Araby??? Nope,,,not close to me. But I hope that in the next ten years or so we will be getting closer. He has plain ears and smaller eyes than I like. But to me doesnt seem to have the dwarfy forehead bump.
