Talk:Carthusian horse

Article improvement
A number of things about the existing article concern me. The first is that there is a lot of word-for-word content taken from the existing sources. Next, the "warts under the tail" are probably melanomas, common in gray horses generally! Third is that, like the so-called "Egyptian Arabian," if this isn't really a separate breed, it shouldn't have its own article, it should be merged with Andalusian. I get a little nervous about articles attributing  I am also amused that, if the sources there are correct, we have drop dead PROOF that the Andalusian has Arabian blood, which the breed purists hotly deny. The frontal "bosses" thing pops up in several breed articles besides this one, and may need to have some digging done to further figure out that one...I'd tag for merge, because this is a bloodline group, not a breed.

 * I'd agree,all my books say it is a strain or bloodline within the PRE (Andalusian).Arsdelicata (talk) 05:12, 1 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Would you take "all my (your) books" and peek at Andalusian horse? We are trying to crank it up to GA quality, but the breed politics are screaming weird and the "pure horse" obsession of some of the hardcore aficionados is such that we want to be very careful that we have verifiable sources... you are the closest to the Spanish breed stuff and I think your input would be valuable.  Dana has been leading the GA push and working very hard...    Montanabw (talk) 02:11, 2 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I've performed the merge, and I'll drop a few more comments regarding it on the Andalusian talk page. Dana boomer (talk) 14:46, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
