Arab horses are supposed to be solid color but paints do crop up. Breeders just usually sell them without papers. I heard an expression once that I really like "You can't ride the color" I would rather have a funny marked horse with great conformation than a solid with cow hocks. Having said that I will say I am prejudiced against horses with bald faces. Letting the crop outs be registered shouldn't hurt the breed because people still want a solid colored quarter horse and they just won't breed to the crop outs. You should see my sheep I have more paints than solids, as a matter of fact I only have two solids the rest are all marked like paints.
