Stardust Sparkle

2005 purebred Arabian filly

(Habib Rafiq X JB Gentleluv)

Private Treaty

Sparkle is a fantastic filly with wonderful conformation that is far surpassed by her disposition.  Sparkle is an excellent example of what Habib Rafiq can produce bred to *Bask mares.  In her early photos her rabicano and flaxen markings don't show up.  Her mane is almost white and she has a liberal dusting of roan on her flanks.  She is shedding out darker each year and will probably be a dark liver chestnut at maturity.  Very striking combined with her flaxen mane and rabicano markings!  We also have her full brothers Orion and Dreamcatcher.  Sparkle will probably mature out to about 15.3 to 16 hands.  Habib Rafiq is 15.2 barefooted and his sire is listed at 15.3.  Love, Sparkle's dam, was about 14.2.  So Habib Rafiq is siring size well beyond what you might expect.  His pony crosses are also bigger than one might expect.  Looking for size?  Right here!

This is sparkle in 2008:

She has an exquisite head that will only get better with age!  She is tall and leggy, very elegant.  She has Rafi's upright and uphill build.

The red horse in the background is Merlin.

Her wild thing pose.

I went looking for conformation shots and couldn't find any!  She really wasn't smelling his rear, it just looks that way, lol.  The pony in the back is Misty, a silver black in color and the dam of Merlin and Angyl.
