Florida and the Winter training track of Harness Horses! A beautiful
racetrack among the palms.

world he was first in line as the
"Arabian" the Horse of the

Here is Black Stallion Trivia!
A well known example of the Arabian horse as the star
of The Black Stallion the 1st movie. In this 1979 movie, the Black was portrayed by a
champion Arabian stallion from Texas. Cass Ole' had white markings on his
face and legs which had to be dyed for the movie and he had to wear hair
extensions in his mane so that it flowed with that “wild horse” look,
but he was chosen for his beauty, floating movement, and charisma.
Actually two horses played the Black in this movie and in The Black
Stallion Returns, in this sequel, *El Mokhtar, the
Egyptian Arabian who was used in most of the racing scenes, is the movie
star in Knite's bloodlines and, tragically, *El Mokhtar died of
colic before the film was completed. This is another reason Knite's
Bloodlines are rare as *El Mokhtar had few get before passing and his full
brother Tahr, was brought there to California and bred in the
USA.
Knite has the bloodlines of *El Mokhtar in his veins
on his sire's side.

There are many who
allow their dreams to run wild, but few brave enough to follow them...

If you have a horse with 4 white legs,
Keep him not a day;
If you have a horse with 3 white legs,
Send him far away;
If you have a horse with 2 white legs,
Sell him to a friend;
And if you have a horse with 1 white leg,
Keep him to his end.


Knite Loves Balloons! Here he is at 2 years old.
A few moments later he took one of the balloons and ran with it
playing..... he set it free and watched it fly...... it was
great!

Trivia and Information About The BLACK Arabian!
The Elusive Black Arabian Horse...
Currently, less than 3% of registered Arabians are Black. Of that,
only a small number are stallions and of those stallions, VERY few are
Homozygous Black. If you are interested in the allure of a Black Arabian,
know that color lies deeper than the coat you see.
To understand the significance of Homozygous Black, please read
on:
Horse coat color is most easily understood if you think about it as a
series of building blocks. All horses, on the most basic level, are one of
two pigment colors; red or black. All other colors you see, such as bay or
palomino, are modified versions of these two base colors.
Black is dominant. Red is recessive. The Black and Red pigment
genes, also called the "E" Genes, are symbolized as
follows;
Black:
EE - Homozygous Black
Ee - Heterozygous Black (carries a red gene)
Red:
ee - Homozygous Red
Each horse possesses one pair of "E" genes or
"basic pigment color genes". The offspring that
results from the mating of two horses inherits one basic pigment color
gene from each parent. There is a DNA-based test called the
"Red Factor Test." This test determines which genes
are present.
In a nutshell...
A Homozygous Black (EE) can only pass on the dominant "E",
black gene, while the Heterozygous Black (Ee) is able to pass on either
the dominant black gene "E" or the recessive red gene
"e". A horse must inherit the recessive
"e" gene from each parent to be red.
Thus, it is genetically impossible for a Homozygous Black to produce
a red foal since there is no recessive red "e" gene to pass on.

NOW... He is...The
Black Stallion of Central Florida!

 | Breeding:
Knite is 14:3+ hands tall and may grow another inch or two.. We
are ready to start his breeding program. He has had
7 month of Professional Training with Ronnie FordTraining Center in
Deland, Florida, please see his site at http://www.ronniefordtrainingcenter.com. Knite
Lunges, bathes, clips, stands
for the farrier, leads, turns. He has been saddled english and
western, bridled
and ridden and he loves the attention and enjoys the
challenge. He has been ridden
western pleasure, English Hunt Seat and Dressage. Knite knows
that a rider "Belongs" on his back. He is a sweet, gentle stallion
with just enough Arabian oomph in personality. He is voice
commanded also. Knite is the perfect mix for
breeding to Quarter Horse mares for a Quarab, to a Paint Mare to bring a darker color,
to a Grey Mare for deepening dapples,
Pintabians for black and white pintos, and if he were bred to a
Palomino Mare you
would most likely attain a buckskin foal. If you are wishing to
bring a darker color to your herd or if you are breeding for straight BLACK,
you will get it. and of course, Arabian Refinement for full
arabian or for a quality half arabian offspring. |
 | Knite has 24
crosses to Black in his Arabian heritage.
And 16 direct lines to black. He has Crabbet, McCoy, Kellogg,
Babson and Selby breeding. He also has Straight Egyptian through
his Sire's Line. VO Raffonegro and Caligastro, and the movie
star *El Mokhtar. He is
an All American
Bred Arabian and is the best of ALL Arabian Horse strains. |
 | Knite has a mane and tail
that is thick and long and flowing. His tail
also has a very rare silver effect,
like a lite frosting. This silvery effect is from his sabino
lines. Sabino means color and white in the Arabian world.
His mane is just fabulous and flowing with natural
waves and he holds his tail so proudly and curled over his back! He
carries his tail as a flag so very proud. |
 | We have traced his lineage
back to the desert. He is the spitting image of his Sire father, SH Shadow
Dancer and his Grand Sire, BHR Hosan's Prince. His disposition is
kind and sweet. He is not fearful. His build and coloring resembles that of his movie star Great Grand Sire, *El Mokhtar.
He also resembles the His Great Grand Sire Raffon - a Black Bay Stallion (Raffles Breeding
Skowronek x Rifala) and Gazon - Dark Bay Stallion (Ferzon x
Scheraff) Click here for His
Pedigree!
