RKO Godolphin Way
Introducing RKO Haven Estate's newest breed of Arabian type horses the Katdolphin sport horse. When I was growing up one of my favorite books "Drinker of the Wind" by Carl Raswan, this book of course about a horse called Sham also called the Godolphin Arabian and one of the founding sires of the Thoroughbred breed that we know today. So in honor of this prolific stud I created the Katdolphin sport horse, I first called my new breed Katabic but I just needed to change the name and as I pondered what I should change it to Sham popped into my head, so this is my new breed and also my first attempt at a project horse. Enjoy, Kat
About the breed:

Katdolphin horses are Arabian type horses, they have a variety of sizes and looks from the Polish Arabian to the Crabbet Arabian. RKO Haven Estates have been working on perfecting this breed to become an all around mount for any type of equine discipline. Any eye color is excepted including one light and one dark eye color on the same horse but this rare. Horse sizes 14hds and up to 17hd but this is of course depending on the horse's bloodline. The Katdolphin has a sweet nature unlike it's pure Arabian counter parts but has the look of the many Arabian breeds one can think of. Coat color of the Katdolphin is of any solid color with some minimal white markings but again depending on bloodline can be very flashy. Patched and spotted coat color is not excepted but can happen. The Katdolphin horse is an over all beautiful and good natured work partner for anyone who loves the look of Arabians but without all the drama the goes with the hot nature of Arabian type horses.

Katdolphin Standard:

Size:
Katdolphin's size can be 14hds to 17hds at the withers but other heights can occur. The average height is standard horse sizes which is around 15 hands and may have light to medium bone sizes.
Temperament:
Katdolphin's temperament is calm and sweet natured, they enjoy interacting with humans and will actively seek them out. The Katdolphin horses are flashy and fiery while showing off their grace of movement but that is where the hot nature display ends, needless to say Katdolphin Arabian type horses are great Liberty class competitors and just love to strut their magnificence for all to see and even the mares will exhibit this tendency, in other words Katdolphins are great big hams so if you have a camera or phone be very aware of a Katdolphin running straight at you expecting a photo shoot to commence so be ready you are about to get a show that you will remember.
