Both the Morgan and the Arabian breeds still carry a strong gene pool of sabinos, the last gene in those breeds that can produce a pinto. Due to this, it was only a matter of time before a registered Morab was born that was also Pinto....

He was not only a pinto, his name was "Pinto"! He is the oldest known documented pinto Morab. This picture was taken circa 1912 - almost a hundred years ago! He still holds the record for the longest continual trail ride on one horse in the northern hemisphere (20,000+ miles over 3+ years - 1912 to 1915). His pinto coloring is due to the sabino gene at work in him. IMR Registered posthumously.

As we said, it was only a matter of time, and here he is - the Missouri Pinto Morab gelding, BLT Gentle Blaze Afire. Pictured as a two year old. He sired the breed's second registered pinto Morab, a filly, before he was gelded (see below). Blaze is sired by a Morab stallion, and out of a sabino Arabian mare. IMR Registered.

You can't see them in this picture, but Lass has multiple body spots inside her right forleg on her belly, and a large belly spot across her groin area from left to right hind legs. She is the one and only baby sired by BLT Gentle Blaze Afire before he was gelded (see above). She is a third generation registered Morab. Pictured here as a baby, Lass and Blaze are both offered for sale by their owner/breeder. She shed out to be a very dark chestnut with flaxen mane and tail. IMR Registered.

Pictured as a three year old - you can see how he's starting to mature.
